Discussion
The very active 2020 Atlantic Basin tropical season continues today with multiple systems on the scene from the western Gulf of Mexico-to-western Africa. Sally has intensified into hurricane status over the northern Gulf of Mexico and it is a slow-moving system in an area of weak winds. As a consequence, Sally is going to be a major rain producer for the northern Gulf coastal region and some spots can receive up to two feet of rain over the next day or so. By Wednesday, this system will push to the north and east over the south-central states of Mississippi and Alabama and head towards the Carolinas bringing significant rainfall along its path.
