Sally Remnants Soaking Southeast, Carolinas

The remnants of Sally, now over the Carolinas, is producing torrential rain and flooding across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.

Sally’s remnants will pick up speed over the next couple of days, tracking across Georgia and the Carolinas before exiting into the Atlantic Ocean on Friday afternoon. Along Sally’s northern and eastern fringes, torrential rain could lead to life-threatening flooding.

Widespread rainfall totals of 3 to 6 inches will be common, with isolated totals of 8 inches not out of the question. The same northeastern flank of Sally could lead to a few brief tornado spin ups in the Carolinas today. 

Flood Watches, and Flash Flood Watches extend from northern South Carolina to southeastern Virginia. Raleigh-Durham, N.C., Richmond, and Wakefield and Virginia Beach, Va., are all included. Remember, if you approach a roadway covered in water, it is best to follow a simple adage, “Turn Around, Don’t Drown”.
 
With the formation of Sally, this system becomes the earliest Atlantic "S" named storm, the first in the month of September.
