I see 981mb
And it won't be over for several days. Based on model consensus as well as NWS forecasts, ATL is facing a decent chance for a top 10 wettest tropical system going back to 1879 and top 3 or higher for Sep, alone! More later if I get some time.

Yeah, the flood watches came up about an hour ago for Wednesday noon through Friday in Atlanta.

Winds have started to pick up again yeah but recon hadn't measured hurricane winds since last night tbh
They were never gonna downgrade anyway
Nice pinwheeling hot towers now .. wouldn’t be surprised to see a jumP to CAT 2 if she can pop an eye out .. promising though given radar and IR satellite trends in the past hour or so
The 15 tropical cyclones that have produced ~5"+ rain in ATL since 1879:
Storm/rain/month/landfall strength/strength at nearest to ATL/slow or not slow mover approaching ATL
1) Opal of 1995: 8.89”/OCT/cat. 3/TS/not slow
2) #2 of 1916: 8.26”/JUL/cat.3/TD/slow
3) Alberto of 1994: 7.92”/JUL/TS/TD/slow
4) #4 of 1887: 7.90”/JUL/cat. 1/TS/slow
5) Dennis of 2005: 6.86”/JUL/cat. 3/far away/not slow
6) #2 of 1948: 6.69”/JUL/TS/TD/slow
7) Flossy of 1956: 5.73”/SEP/cat. 1/far away/not slow
8) #3 of 1940: 5.67”/AUG/cat. 1/TS/slow
9) Cindy of 2005: 5.24”/JUL/cat.1/TD/not slow
10) #1 of 1896: 5.18”/JUL/cat. 2/TS/not slow
11) Ivan of 2004: 5.08”/SEP/cat.3/TS/not slow
12) #3 of 1885: 5.06”/AUG/TS/far away/not slow
13) #11 of 1932: 4.92”/OCT/TS/TS/not slow
14) Jeanne of 2004: 4.89”/SEP/cat. 3/TD/not slow
15) Ida of 2009: 4.87”/NOV/TS/ETD/slow
Note that only 3 SEP storms are on here with Flossy of 1956 the highest at 5.73". It's not at all out of the realm of possibilities that this could be exceeded, which would make Sally THE wettest SEP TC at ATL on record!

At the moment I don't see any model support for that idea, but who knows, its crazy times......

Just wrote a big post on http://Weatherbell.com on the Doria scenario in 1967. Strong cold front picked it up ( like Sally) but then high trapped it and it came back from N of Bermuda. If it had started a bit further west, would have been the Sandy of the 1960s.

Went to bed early last night because shear was clearly punctuating Sally's core. Shear doesn't look to be affecting Sally as much as it did last night, and there doesn't appear to be any noticeable signs of disruption on Satellite. Last night Sally's circulation looked to be elongated, but borticity seems to have bundled up as higher and lower clouds seems to be spinning in tandem. I actually think she might strengthen a tad bit more this evening, and as a consequence, she will move faster towards the coast.
