Named Storm Beta developed from a low pressure area off the Gulf Coast of southeastern Texas. This storm will be moving slowly in several directions over the next 5 days or so, because there are very weak steering currents in that area. By Tuesday or Wednesday, September 22-23, the storm will start moving to the north and northeast along the northern Gulf Coast. Unfortunately, this will bring it near the areas from Louisiana to potentially southern Alabama that were recently devastated by Hurricanes Laura and Sally.
We will post unofficial updates as needed.

Named Storms Wilfred and Alpha – 2020
Wilfred formed in the central Atlantic from a tropical low and will be moving generally west-northwest for a few days and then eventually weakening because of unfavorable conditions in it’s path east of the Leeward Islands.
Alpha formed just off the west coast of Portugal a few hours before making landfall.
Since neither of these storms poses a direct threat to US coastal areas, this will be our only mention of these storms. IF Wilfred’s track changes farther to the south, we may have to update information.

Named Storm Sally – Update September 17, 2020
Named Storm Sally – Update September 17, 2020 @ 5:30 AM EDT.
‘Sally’ made landfall as a Category 2 Hurricane in the Gulf Shores, Alabama, area on September 16… exactly 16 years after Hurricane Ivan devastated the same area. As of September 17, there are nearly 500,000 persons in Alabama and Florida without power, and this may be a fairly long term situation due to the number of trees down over power lines. As the remnant of this storm moves slowly northeast, it has been dropping tremendous amounts of rain with flash flood watches and warnings along it’s path. The storminess is projected to move into the Carolinas by the weekend causing some additional flooding along the way.
There have been deaths associated with this storm and the widespread flooding will take some time to recede. Cleanup is just starting and will take weeks, if not months.
This is our final unofficial update on Named Storm Sally.

UPDATE: September 14 – Hurricane Sally
Named Storm Sally has made hurricane status and may intensify even more, because the weak steering currents have caused this storm to nearly stall. The area between Southern Louisiana and Pensacola, Florida, is now under Hurricane Warnings. Persons residing in the area from Southern Louisiana to northwestern Florida can expect extremely heavy rain, strong gusty hurricane force winds, storm surge, flash flooding in low areas, lightning, power outages, beach erosion and some tornadoes. Persons inland in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas can expect heavy rain, flash flooding and gusty winds through the weekend. For Gulf Coast residents – please follow the instructions from your local Emergency Management Agencies for evacuation orders and routes.

Named Storm Teddy – 2020 and Named Storm Vicky – 2020.
Named Storms Teddy and Vicky formed in the east central Atlantic from tropical depressions. Teddy is moving generally west-northwest and will be turning more to the northwest in a few days. Early projections are for this storm to become a major hurricane that may affect Bermuda by Monday or Tuesday, September 21-22. Tracking projections for this storm past September 22 are imprecise at this time.
Vicky is in an area of upper level wind shear and is not expected to strengthen before it dissipates in a few days.
We will post additional information as needed.

PLEASE REVIEW NAMED STORM SALLY DATA IN THIS POSTING SEQUENCE
UPDATE SEPT 12 : Named Storm Sally – 2020
Named Storm Sally Update: Many international tracking models are showing Gulfport, Mississippi, as the likely landfall location for the storm as a lower category Hurricane. However, other tracking models are showing the area between the Alabama/Florida line over toward Gulf Breeze, Florida, as a possible landfall area.
Regardless of exact location at landfall later Monday into Tuesday, almost all of the Gulf Coast from eastern Texas to the Gulf Coast of Florida will be affected to some extent.
Persons along the Gulf Coast in these areas should be monitoring local weather advisories and follow the orders from local Emergency Management Offices.

Named Storm Sally – 2020
Named Storm Sally – 2020 formed off the southeast coast of Florida. This storm is moving northwest and is affecting southern Florida now through late Saturday September 12, before it moves into the Gulf of Mexico. Once it gets into the very warm waters of the Gulf, some intensification may take place. Current international tracking models, as well as our own, are showing a second landfall along the northern Gulf Coast somewhere between Apalachicola, Florida, and the Louisiana/Texas border sometime Monday into Tuesday, September 14-15. Persons in South Florida and along the Gulf of Mexico, especially coastal Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, should be monitoring this storm carefully.

Named Storm Paulette and Named Storm Rene – 2020
Named Storm Paulette formed in the central Tropical Atlantic from tropical depression seventeen. This storm is not well organized and will remain as a tropical storm for a few days.
International tracking models, including our own, have this storm tracking generally west northwest very slowly. Following behind Named Storm Paulette by roughly 1100 miles is Named Storm Rene that is taking a much more favorable track for intensification and it is expected to make Hurricane status later this week.
Both of these Tropical weather systems will be tracking into an area of high pressure over the north central Atlantic and may be steered more northerly by the end of the week away from the US.
We will update our unofficial information as conditions warrant.
