Tropical Hurricane Sally

[RBR71]

My sister in Ft. Walton Beach, Fl said lots of people with docks under water. They've also had close to 10" rain thus far and obviously still coming down.

 

[BufordWX]

Sustained winds up to 85 mph now.

HRRR & HWRF HAVE DONE AMAZING WITH TROPICAL SYSTEMS THIS YEAR AND LAST YEAR IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY

 

[PEA_RIDGE]

Stationed in gulf shores for the night

Still cannot close off the southern eyewall. That slug of dry air is probably saving the coast from a major hurricane hit.

I bet it recloses soon

 

[jackendrickwx]

105mph about 6k ft up

 

[RBR71]

Tiny movement I know but according to recon that's NE almost E/NE. Good thing for recon because it looks stationary on radar

 

[accu35]

105mph about 6k ft up

That's a strengthening storm

I tell ya what, she's trying to close it off and starting to see some 110 mph velocities on radar 6k ft now. An hour ago couldn't find any over 90

 

[accu35]

Man looking at satellite loop, you can see the eye clearing and heading slowly due north.

Storm reminds me of Florence in 2018

 

[farleydawg792]

Definite clearing, small eye with thunderstorm development on the northern side!

 

[RBR71]

Still 85 mph, pressure still dropping and moving NNE now just barely lol

9:00 PM CDT Tue Sep 15
Location: 29.7°N 87.9°W
Moving: NNE at 2 mph
Min pressure: 972 mb

[Henry2326]

18z HWRF.....Mobile Bay 972
18z HMON .......SAME. 973

 

[RBR71]

Gulf Shores about to be in the northern eyewall and unless it speeds up could be in it for 8-10 hrs. Holy moly

Definitely trying to close it off in the upper levels.

That NNE movement is about right by now. That would put Mobile or little towards Fairhope area for LF.

969.9 mb that pass

Oooooh snap. I’m excited

 

[PEA_RIDGE]

JUST ABOUT CLEAR

 

[accu35]

Maybe my eyes are tired but that motion looks north on the last few frames.

WATER VAPOR SAT SHOWS DUE NORTH
ATTACHED IS MY OPINION WHERE LF WILL OCCUR

 

[TileDude]

TWC just reported a 82mph wind gust in Ft Morgan

[PEA_RIDGE]

DID SHE TAKE A JOG BACK TO THE SE???? TO ME ACCORDING TO THE RECON SHE DID.. YOU CAN EVEN SEE IT ON THE LATEST IR IMAGE

 

[farleydawg792]

You can see this blip on the satellite.

 

[Brent]

Recon getting closer to supporting a Cat 2 definitely at least 90

 

[PEA_RIDGE]

971MB AT DUE NORTH MOVEMENT

 

[BufordWX]

Sustained winds up to 90 mph at 11:00 PM CDT update.

 

[farleydawg792]

Eye looks more symmetrical IMHO.

 

[Brent]

Closed eyewall on the VDM

VDM??

It's the stats on the eye after the plane passes thru
