ATL: SALLY - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[DestinHurricane]

Somehow I get the feeling some think this is still
going to the Fl. panhandle. Personally I don’t think that
is happening. The LA/MS border still looks like
a good bet right now. IMO

I'm thinking Alabama landfall now. The center reformed pretty far east.

Maybe as far east as Panama city you think?

I don't see it making that far east thankfully. Cannot rule out pensacola though.

Sally's organization on radar has really improved over the last hour or so. Instead of the amorphous precip blob that previously existed, it now has a much more consistent banding structure with a partial eyewall setting up. Large area of 70-85mph winds aloft in that NE quad too.

Not really fancy just my local radar. Drag it up a bit. https://weather.com/weather/radar/inter ... 70808:4:US

Here's a radar loop that goes all the way back to when it was an Invest in the Bahamas until now http://flhurricane.com/imageanimator.php?570

I think this is at least up to 70mph

I think this is at least up to 70mph

Agreed. This should be a hurricane fairly soon if current trends continue.

Thanks for sharing that. Very very cool...

Still lookin' blobby. Not much convective organization around the CDO (yet) but it's getting there. Definitely had a good DMAX.

Do you know if recon is heading back out soon?

That was pretty cool, Bob! Thanks for sharing it.

Seeing some banding features appearing in the core on IR now as well.

Radar...

I imagine with her moving so slowly, beach erosion from Cape San Blas west might be pretty awful.

[cheezyWXguy]

Velocities have shot up substantially in the NE quad, and continue to increase in each frame. 94mph now. I think this is probably a hurricane now, if the low levels have caught up. Gotta have recon confirm though.

They are still out and making a run back to the center.

AF308 is still there.
Miss Piggy is on the way.

[Stormcenter]

It still looks like Sally is moving WNW slowly but steadily.

I don't see it making that far east thankfully. Cannot rule out pensacola though.

Maybe Destin?

Considering is due south of Destin now, it would have to turn north now which I don't think is happening. I think our landfall area will be the AL/FL line to Pascagoula.

[hurricaneCW]

If that dry spot in the IR is the center then we got a big problem.

[bella_may]

Looks like convection is almost fully wrapped around the center now, unless I’m seeing something else
