Steve, I looked at those seven invests, depressions, storms, and hurricanes this morning. Sally is the only one threatening the US in the foreseeable future. There are a couple they need to watch but they are so far out they haven't predicted that far ahead.
@Marie2020 is more likely to get a little weather out of some of them than we are, hopefully just some rain and light winds. These systems tend to wind up headed east and north so remnants can hit Ireland or parts of the UK as squalls or just rainy blustery weather
Sally's forecast has changed. Two days ago we were in the area that could get up to 10" of rain. Now there is a fair chance we will not see any rain from her. We could see 30 mph winds for a while, not bad at all. That's how much they can change. The steering air currents were weak to start with and they seem to have died, so she is just sitting there. The current projections are that she will eventually move north, probably hit the Alabama coast midday tomorrow, maybe a Category 1 hurricane or hopefully a tropical storm so winds are a little less strong.
But the winds aren't what worries me about this one. The longer she sits there and the slower she moves, the bigger the storm surge will be. That can be devastating near the coast. But Sally is a rainmaker as she is moving so slowly. She is expected to dump a lot of rain, expect to see some pretty heavy flooding inland. Maybe further inland than you would think.
Steve, I did not see any computer models on your link. Maybe they are there but I just didn't see them. They use different computer programs to try to predict where a storm will go. All the models agree that it will hit Mississippi, Alabama, or Florida. The further out you go the more uncertainty there is. You might enjoy the computer models on this link and think how you would come up with one projection from all this.
