It’s September 15, with over two weeks staying in the Atlantic hurricane season, and there’s only 1 title left in the cabinet to get tropical cyclones–Wilfred. And that storm will likely form off the coast of Africa at a day or 2.
In certain ways, this was an extremely bonkers season for Atlantic storm activity, and also in different ways it’s been rather pedestrian. But prior to analyzing the climatology, it is well worth focusing on the 1 storm sure to have an immediate effect on the USA, Hurricane Sally.
Sally’s flood
Hurricane Sally has luckily not intensified during the past 12 hours. On the contrary, it has diminished a few, thanks to end shear affecting the capability of its own non invasive and mid-level cores to align perfectly. This wind shear out of the west, alongside the upwelling of cooler water deep into the Gulf, in case avoid further strengthening now. The National Hurricane Center forecasts that the storm will have maximum sustained winds of 85mph the moment it comes Wednesday morning across the Alabama shore.
