BALTIMORE (WBFF) -- The record-active 2020 Atlantic Hurricane season continues with Category 1 Hurricane Sally moving toward the Gulf Coast. There's also Hurricane Paulette, as well as Tropical Storm Vicky and Tropical Storm Teddy, as well as several other areas of potential development that are being closely monitored.

Hurricane Sally is currently in the north-central Gulf of Mexico, just south of Coastal Alabama and the Panhandle of Florida, and is forecast to painstakingly make landfall along the Mississippi/Alabama Coastline late Tuesday into Wednesday morning as the storm slows to a snail's pace.

As the storm crawls into onshore, there could be a potentially extended impact from damaging winds and up to 6-9' of life-threatening storm surge, especially in Mobile Bay and Dauphin Island.

Perhaps, the biggest story will be the potential of historic tropical rains. Some of our computer models estimate that up to 10-20" of rain could fall over portions of Alabama and Northwestern Florida, with localized amounts of up to 30".

We may see some impacts, even here in the Mid-Atlantic, out of Sally's remnant moisture as some of the latest computer models track Sally's leftovers to our south through week’s end. We will see added cloud cover on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and even some moisture as a cold front slugs in from the north. At least a few showers will be possible Thursday late and also Friday and Saturday, depending on the system's track.

Meanwhile, after a direct hit on Bermuda, Hurricane Paulette is expected to reach Category 3 hurricane strength as it passes east and northeast over the Open North Atlantic and eventually diminishes this weekend.

Tropical Storm Teddy also is in the Central Atlantic and will move northwest over the Open Atlantic over the next several days and strengthen into a major hurricane. There is a potential of some impact in Bermuda by the end of the weekend and into early next week, but it's too early to really know.

Tropical Storm Vicky that also has developed over the Eastern Atlantic, but will likely experience weakening to a remnant low over the next few days.

We're only left with Wilfred on our list of names, before we go into names in the Greek alphabet as we did back in 2005.

There are also three other potential areas of tropical development that bear watching over the next several days. There's a low development chance in the Northeastern Atlantic and also a low chance of development over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico.

The one with the greatest risk of becoming our next named system is a tropical wave located just west of the African Coast. Although, in the near-term, there's a medium chance of development, after about 48 hours, development risk jumps to a high, 70% chance as it moves westbound over the tropical Atlantic.

So far this season, we've already seen 21 Tropical Depressions, 20 Tropical Storms, 7 Hurricanes, and 1 Major Hurricane and we are just off of the peak of hurricane season.
