All,

FYI...

Sally is has rapidly intensified today - from a Tropical Storm to a Category 1 Hurricane to now a Category 2 hurricane, all in the span of less than 5 hours. Max sustained winds are 98 mph and Sally’s movement is a crawl to the west-northwest at only 6 mph. It is very possible that Sally could be a low-end Category 3 - or major hurricane - at landfall tomorrow. Likely area for landfall is between Biloxi and Pascagoula, sometime LATE TUESDAY NIGHT or EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. The time delay is because Sally has slowed down considerably.
