Hurricane Sally has rapidly intensified into a Category 2 Hurricane, and further strengthening is anticipated before the storm makes landfall. This storm is extremely dangerous, with life-threatening storm surge and flooding rainfall.
Fifty million people in Nevada, California, Oregon and Arizona are under excessive, life-threatening heat watches or warnings through the Labor Day weekend as temperatures of up to 125 degrees Fahrenheit (49 Celsius) are expected.
After making landfall on Friday night as a powerful Category 4 storm, Hurricane Harvey has been downgraded to a tropical storm that has created a disaster of epic proportions in southeast Texas.
Even though Hurricane Hermine has been downgraded to a Tropical Storm status, it is still a life-threatening and extremely dangerous storm. The entire Atlantic coastline from Georgia to Connecticut is under a tropical storm warning.
The National Hurricane Center upgraded Tropical Storm Hermine to a Category 1 Hurricane Thursday evening. The storm is now packing maximum sustained winds of 75 mph as it continues to close in on the Big Bend region of Florida's Gulf Coast later tonight.
