Windspeed Posted September 15 My eyes are playing tricks probably but it sure looks to be drifting with a bit of S componentProbably an illusion with the stronger DBZ banding rotating around to the SW. This may once again be a temporary organizational trend that reverses to weakening, but it's at least making things interesting with less than 9-10 hrs from landfall. Really curious just what Sally can muster out of a significantly mixed surface layer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not movement as much as oscillation of an imbalanced system to my eye... poor choice of words. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Floydbuster Posted September 15 I think Hurricane Sally looks quite impressive as the sun begins to set. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wxpert55 Posted September 15 4 hours ago, weatherlover said: Anyone heard any reports of how conditions are right along the coastline? Winds, rain, coastal flooding etc? I live in central Mobile AL. We had light winds that started at about 2am and then a sudden insane DOWNPOUR like out of nowhere at about 330 am? I think? Today it's just been gross... drizzly Light to medium nonstop rain... I drove my dad down to check our sailboat that we keep at Turner marine at Mobile Yacht Club .. All piers underwater this morn. Have not heard or seen The first bit of thunder or lightning so far. All day, winds have very very sneakily grown stronger all day ...... And They're just NOWstarting to now picking up to the point that very small loose things are blowing around our front porch. We have a house in Bon Secour on the river as well. We're going to head over as soon as we can to check on it . And WHOA just now.. As I'm writing this five or six big big gusts... Making some of our very very older trees here on the property feel very flexible all of the sudden. Got to go... Stuff starting to fly all of the sudden 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dan11295 Posted September 15 Sally reminds me a bit of Hurricane Danny in 1997 which stalled just E of Mobile Bay as a 75 mph cat 1 and jumped 20-30" in that immediate area. Difference there is that Danny came from the SW and had minimal surge issues. Also most of the rain fell on the backside on the immediate coast where the tide was pushed out so it could drain easier. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wxpert55 Posted September 15 And boom.... Finally heard some thunder. my parents keep laughing and describing the way the rain is starting to come in as...."b movie special effects rain"........ My folks are 60 year porch hurricanes watchers so they make up names for everything that happens in hurricanes ... But I've never heard them used this new phrase ..so I watched myself for a while and.... lol Wow.. Agreed... it is ...very strange looking...I'm not going to lie... And honestly not quite sure how to describe yet 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HIPPYVALLEY Posted September 15 She is just crawling, there should be some prodigious rainfall amounts from those bands. That’s the stuff that doesn’t make headlines but sure can create misery. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BombsAway1288 Posted September 15 Radar estimates per RadarScope showing over 24" of rain well offshore and climbing. If that makes it onshore there's going to be some serious problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prospero Posted September 15 Another 24 hours of Sally. Can hardly wait to wake up at 4:00 am for another day... Light rain and no sun for a few days here in the Tampa Bay area. Wind picked up for a while this afternoon, but feels like a long wet Spring event here now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StormChaser4Life Posted September 16 Curious why the winds aren't responding to pretty decent pressure drops Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mob1 Posted September 16 1 minute ago, StormChaser4Life said: Curious why the winds aren't responding to pretty decent pressure drops They very likely are, the recon is missing quite a few data sets in the NE eyewall so we can't see them. VDM has 85 Knot FL winds, by the highest it's been today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StormChaser4Life Posted September 16 I sure would think we would see a bump up in winds coming at next advisory. Regardless Sally is looking good on IR and an eye really trying to pop even more now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dauphin Island recorded over 43" during Danny. Also, the pressure is now 13 MB lower than it was last night when the winds were 20 mph higher. Weird. Now the pressure is quite low for an 80 mph storm, opposite of last night. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
