Tropical Storm Sally has formed. But not from the tropical wave you might be thinking of.
The new storm developed from a small disturbance just as of Miami that the National Hurricane Center gave little chance of forming into anything significant, and yet when it bisects the Gulf of Mexico on a northwesterly track, it is expected to strengthen into a hurricane before hitting the coast of Mississippi.
As for the wave that came off the coast of Senegal, it has finally developed into a tropical depression and will likely become Tropical Storm Teddy late today (Sunday, September 13). Then it should become a hurricane soon after.
I have to remain vigilant, though. The hurricane season comes to end at the end of November, and the Northeast could still get that late -season storm the 2020 almanacs have been hinting at.
In the meantime, the 2021 almanacs should be out soon. I can't wait to see what they say about next year!
