What was tropical Depression # 19 became Tropical Storm Sally late Saturday afternoon. At 5 am Sunday, Sally was located near 27.0 North, 84.0 West, about 115 miles west of Port Charlotte. Maximum sustained winds were 50 miles per hour, and Sally was moving west-northwest at 13 miles per hour. A hurricane warning is in effect from Grand Isle, Louisiana to Ocean Springs, Mississippi, and a tropical storm warning has been issued from Ocean Springs eastward to Indian Pass on the Florida panhandle. Sally is strengthening, and the warning area will begin to feel the effects of this system on Monday morning, with landfall expected early on Tuesday.

The strong wave in the eastern Atlantic is now Tropical Depression # 20. At 5 am 
Sunday, TD # 20 was located near 12.2 North, 35.5 West, about 1745 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. Maximum sustained winds were 35 miles per hour, and TD # 20 was moving west-northwest at 10 miles per hour. TD # 20 is poorly organized now, but it’s expected to become a hurricane by midweek.

Elsewhere, Tropical Depression Rene is weakening and expected to become a remnant low in the open waters of the Atlantic on Monday. In the central Gulf of Mexico, a trough of low pressure has a low chance of developing into a depression before reaching the Mexican coast. And the wave, that is just west of the Cape Verde Islands has a medium chance of developing during the next 5 days.
