USA TODAY•September 13, 2020
Tropical Storm Sally is taking aim at New Orleans and is expected to strengthen into a hurricane by Monday, bringing with it the possibility of a "life threatening storm surge" for areas of the Gulf Coast.
On Saturday, the National Hurricane Center issued a hurricane watch from Grand Isle, Louisiana, to the Alabama-Florida border — an area that includes metropolitan New Orleans.
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards declared a State of Emergency Saturday, noting on Twitter "much of Southeast Louisiana is in the storm’s cone." Meanwhile, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell ordered mandatory evacuations starting Sunday at 6 p.m. for residents outside the city's levee system.

The storm is currently traveling west at 7 mph and was located 30 miles south-southeast of Naples, Florida, as of 5 p.m. ET, the National Hurricane Center said. Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph with higher gusts.
