Residents along the Gulf Coast are under hurricane and tropical storm warnings on Monday as a strengthening Tropical Storm Sally takes aim at the region.

Significant flash and urban flooding are likely, as well as widespread minor to moderate flooding on some rivers as the storm slowly moves north after landfall.

Heavy rain is also expected to spread across eastern Tennessee, northern Georgia and western North Carolina from Thursday into Friday.As yet another hurricane takes aim at the Gulf Coast during a busy 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, officials in Louisiana were urging residents to prepare.Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said Sunday he'd spoken earlier in the day to President Trump and requested a federal declaration of emergency in advance of Sally.

A mandatory evacuation has already been issued in Grand Isle, La., ahead of the storm. On Saturday, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell issued a mandatory evacuation order for Orleans Parish residents living outside of the parish’s levee protection system. Homeland Security Director Collin Arnold said the evacuation is mandatory because residents in those areas will have their evacuation routes cut off as flood gates close.

“This is a storm everyone needs to take seriously," St. Charles Parish President Matthew Jewell said Sunday. "We are likely to see tropical-storm-force and hurricane-strength winds for longer than Hurricane Katrina, a storm surge of 4-7 feet and the possibility of 20 inches of rain."
