Significant eastward shift, could keep heaviest rain out of Louisiana, if it verifies.



People are going to lose their damn mind about a "nothingburger" in SELA when the entirety of the "miss" will be less than 60 miles or so. I'll never understand that mindset.

Had the same thing happen to us in Katrina. Sorry to hear that, but like I said, you'll be fine in BR.

NHC gives you a cone. The storm stays within the cone for the entirety of the forecast. People are pissed at the cone.

Slack, I will roll with the punches, but it’s a strong possibility. I expect the intensity models to continue to trend upwards. Especially if it doesn’t make landfall at mouth of river and stays over water longer.

Just to cover all bases.

What possible factors could contribute to Sally making more of a west track as opposed to the current track?

Just so we can understand what’s at play and how likely/unlikely it is for the track to change back.

Still a long ways to go but there is currently the potential for 30"+ totals with this system. The current NHC track would most likely keep those out over the Gulf.

Appreciate all the anonymous knowledge in this thread.
I run an insurance agency in Gulf Shores...selfishly, what can/should we expect? Flooding? High winds? Storm surge? Catastrophic damage? Or...nothingburger?
Too early to tell?

Ridge that starts building over the midsouth is a little stronger than expected and puts a stronger west push on Sally short term tomorrow. This doesn't strike me as likely as it will be getting eroded pretty quickly and shifting toward the SE, but possible.

If the models/NHC are too slow with the movement in the next 18-24 hours, it suggests the track is going to go west. That's what you're looking for.

TBH, I'm a little pissed that the eastward shift has killed our rain chances over here in Watson. Went from a good 2+ inches forcasted this AM to just over a half inch this PM. Not upset at all about missing the storm itself. Just need a little rain up here in the LP.

Speed.

It's going west, but how far west it gets before it goes north is the question. Using the NHC forecast coordinates is a nice tool for that. 12 hours from now it should be at 87.3W

If it's further west than that, a more westward landfall is on the table.

I know that seems pretty basic, but that's the best you can do unless you know how to read the strength of ridges in weather balloon data.
