Slow Moving Sally Will Cause Flooding Issues, Quiet NYC Area

Good morning everyone. Hurricane Sally continues to creep and crawl towards the coastal areas of Mississippi, Alabama, and extreme eastern Louisiana. Aside from your typical issues with landfalling hurricanes (wind, storm surge, flooding), flooding rains will be a big problem as areas in inland Alabama and Georgia could see copious amounts of rain. Some areas could see 6-10″+ of rain, which will cause big problems in the flood plains of some of these rivers and streams.

SATELLITE

For us, those milky skies you see out there today, is actually smoke from the west coast and those forest fires. Technically though, we have mostly sunny skies through that thin white veil. Highs today will be a breezy and cool upper 60’s to low 70’s.

REGIONAL RADAR

We’ll warm up a bit tomorrow, and 75-80 degree temps should be abundant with dry conditions continuing.

Thursday starts off sunny, but then high clouds from Sally’s remnants and an approaching front drift our way. It’ll be the warmest day of the week, with a slightly humid near 80 day. Overnight and into Friday morning, we could see a few showers as Sally passes well to our south.

LOCAL RADAR NEW YORK CITY

Your weekend as expected, is looking on the cool and crisp side, especially at night. Expect sunny days both Saturday and Sunday, with highs 65-70. Overnight, lows could dip down into the 40’s away from the City.

LOCAL RADAR PHILADELPHIA

The Tropics remain very busy, with Sally our main headliner right now. Paulette is on the move up and out, but somewhat high surf & rip currents are still an issue here. Then we have what-will-be Hurricane Teddy. Teddy we are watching closely for Bermuda’s sake, and that one may become a Category 3+. We also have Vicki, but she’s lost in the sauce with a lot of shear going on in her future.

Stay tuned and we’ll continue to cover all that is going on.
