Tropical Hurricane Sally

[accu35]

First pass on the new flight incoming. Weakest quadrant is clocking in at around 68 knots so far but close to the eyewall.

I believe shes stronger now

If you look at the velocity on the mobile, AL radar it looks like the winds in the NE quadrant are getting faster. Instresting watching the loop on radar

Definetly. Look at radar velocity. Although its not at ground level id imagine it means something lol

Rainfall accumaltion is going to be insane in gulf shores when this is all over.

There are several chasers Broadcasting live in Gulf Shores and surrounding areas on the live chasing app.

Here's a link to a webcam in Gulf Shores that is pretty good.

Well they need to flag it lol

 

[DustinWx]

Still 80 mph

 

[Arcc]

Radar looking much better as is IR.

Still 80 mph

Give it a couple hours. I'm sure she'll be back to 100 unless she stops strengthening randomly. FL winds are around that.

LOOKS AS IF SHE IS TRYING TO CLOSE OFF THE CENTER ON IR WITH THOSE HIGH TOWERS POPPIN

85 kt FL on the VDM

Well at least it's a Cat 1 now lol might support 85 mph even

Is the dry air that's been inhibiting Sally all day part of a piece of upper level energy that merged with the storm this afternoon? I'm trying to figure out why Sally has been strengthening over the past hour, and the only thing I can think of that's different a 200Mb piece of energy injected itself around the SW side of the storm.

When I look at the 250 Mb wind map, you can actually see upper level winds circulating around Sally when the 200Mb energy stacks over Sally. Then she gets captured by the trough.

There's some eastward movement, maybe a wobble but doesn't look due north

 

[chase5ash]

It definitely looks like this thing is moving East on IR

 

[Chazwin]

Looking at TWC’s radar, it definitely looks like the movement has been NNE to NE for about the last hour. Honestly it’s probably the most noticeable movement in any direction I’ve seen in an hour frame all day

There goes her eye on infrared now ... HWRF depicted this well

It’s actually stationary.
