Discussion
The heaviest rains associated with the remains of Hurricane Sally now extend from Georgia to the central part of Virginia. This system came ashore yesterday morning in the Gulf Shores, Alabama area as a category 2 hurricane and it has undergone significant weakening since making landfall. The tropics remain very active in the Atlantic Basin with multiple systems to still monitor in coming days including one impressive wave over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico that will meander around for the next several days. This Gulf of Mexico tropical system has an excellent chance of becoming a tropical storm or hurricane in the near-term and could impact the Gulf coastal region sometime next week.
