Sally's wind still at 85mph. No further strengthening is expected over the next 24 hours... as it makes landfall a little before noon along the Alabama, Mississippi border.

The biggest threat from this storm will be historic flooding. Up the 20" of rain are possible across parts of southern Mississippi, Alabama, and the western panhandle of Florida over the next 48 hours. 

It will slowly weaken as it heads towards Montgomery, Alabama and then bends east towards Macon, GA by the end of the week.

Areas along and south of Interstate 20 are going to see copious amounts of rain through the period. 

Sally will have no effect on our weather here in North Texas.
