Tropical Storm Sally Moves Toward Gulf Coast As Bermuda Braces For Hurricane Paulette - NPR

Hurricane Paulette is approaching Bermuda and expected to begin dumping rain on the territory late Sunday.

Tropical Storm Sally is also threatening the Gulf Coast.

Hurricane Paulette is rolling toward Bermuda and expected to bring heavy rainfall along the coast beginning Sunday night, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Sally is threatening to grow into a hurricane as it moves toward the Gulf Coast.

Residents of Bermuda were urged to protect life and property ahead of Paulette, which intensified into a hurricane late Saturday and is forecast to bring strong winds, coastal flooding and storm surge to the territory, hurricane officials said.

A slow moving storm, Sally could dump up to 20 inches of rain on parts of the central Gulf Coast by the middle of the week.

Sally approaches just two weeks after Hurricane Laura brought a massive storm surge to the southwestern Louisiana coast
