Discussion
The very active 2020 Atlantic Basin tropical season continues today with multiple systems on the scene from the southwestern Gulf of Mexico to western Africa. Sally has intensified into hurricane status over the northern Gulf of Mexico and it is a very 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 later tomorrow, this system will begin a push to the north and east and it'll take until week's end for the remnants to reach the Carolinas. The timing of the heaviest rain associated with Sally's remnants in the Tennessee Valley will likely be late Wednesday into early Friday.
