Tropical Hurricane Sally

Certainly starting to look good on satellite recon data should be interesting but it looks like they are going tomorrow
 
The 12Z EPS has a whopping 8” of rainfall along parts of the coast of the FL Panhandle! That’s a ton coming from a 51 member ensemble and implies a serious flooding threat may be on the way for especially E LA to the FL Panhandle, especially along and near the coast, due to the potential of a very slow mover.
 
PTC coming

The first forecast will stay conservative and only show a peak intensity of 60 kt in 3 to 4 days, but do not be surprised if that is revised upward on later forecasts once other models better initialize the depression.

Danger, danger Will Robinson! Get the boats ready along the Gulf coast. This, from the 12Z EPS, is one real ugly precip map, especially considering this is from a 51 member ensemble. Hopefully this changes for the better:

We have been there during a couple of tropical storms. Kinda neat really for a weather enthusiast. Wind and waves were awesome to see as long as there is no serious flooding or tornadoes. In our case the weather cleared the next day each time and was nice the rest of the week.

That track is as doomsday a track for surge into NOLA as it gets. Would push lake ponchatrain right down into NO as well as surge right up the river. Cat 2 to cat 3 low end would not be pretty just because of the angle.
