'It's possible we could see winds of 100 mph, with gusts to 120 along the coast as Sally makes shore.'
Tropical Storm Sally triggered evacuations in Louisiana on Sunday as the northern Gulf Coast prepared for it to make landfall late Monday as a hurricane with 90 mph sustained winds.
"It's possible we could see winds of 100 mph, with gusts to 120 along the coast as Sally makes shore," said Ben Schott, meteorologist-in-charge of the National Weather Service office in New Orleans. Schott and Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards warned that Sally could experience a rapid intensification over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Sally is forecast to whip up a storm surge of as much as 7 to 11 feet for parts of Louisiana and coastal Mississippi, with the highest potential in east-facing portions of southeastern Louisiana.
