Tropical Storm Sally expected to strengthen into hurricane as it moves toward New Orleans

Tropical Storm Sally pounded south Florida with heavy rain on Saturday before moving into the Gulf of Mexico, and forecasters believe that by Tuesday morning, Sally could hit near New Orleans as a Category 2 hurricane. The storm is strengthening as it crosses the Gulf of Mexico, and as of Sunday night has sustained winds of 60 mph, CNN reports. Hurricane warnings have been issued for parts of Louisiana and Mississippi, where storm surges of up to 11 feet are possible. Forecasters also say some areas between southeast Louisiana and the western Florida Panhandle could see extreme rainfall of more than 12 inches. Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) declared a state of emergency on Saturday, and said on Sunday while he does not yet know where Sally will make landfall, "we have every reason to believe that this storm represents a very significant threat to the people of southeast Louisiana." Sally is the 18th named storm of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season; the average for a season is 12. Catherine Garcia

Glacier twice the size of Manhattan breaks off the Arctic's largest ice shelf

Climate change is warming more than just the U.S.'s west coast. Up north in Greenland, a 42-square-mile glacier broke off the Arctic's largest remaining ice shelf as ocean temperatures continue to warm. The Spalte Glacier has been disintegrating for several years, and after another year of record highs, finished its break this summer, BBC reports. The Spalte Glacier was a piece of Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden, a massive ice shelf at the end of Northeast Greenland Ice Stream. It only recently became the largest remaining ice shelf as others also began to melt in warming waters. But it's starting to lose its area as well, as the part Greenland surrounding the ice stream has warmed by about 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1980. Satellite imagery had shown the Spalte Glacier offshoot cracking since 2013, Business Insider notes. The broken Spalte Glacier and remaining ice shelf will only continue to melt as runoff water from melting pools on top of the ice. ❄️ The #Arctic's largest remaining ice shelf is experiencing the effects…
