Discussion
Hurricane Sally is now a category 2 storm and will move inland later today and shift northeastward across southern Alabama. It continues to move very slowly at only 3 mph and dump a tremendous amount of rainfall on the northern Gulf region from the western part of Florida's Panhandle to Mobile Bay, Alabama. In fact, some spots could see upwards of two feet of rain in this region by later tonight. The remnants of Hurricane Sally will move slowly over the next couple of days finally reaching the Carolinas by late Friday.
