(FOX NEWS) – 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.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami said Monday morning it remains too early to determine where the center will move onshore due to the slow movement of the storm and figuring out when it will make a northward turn.

As of 8 a.m. EDT, Tropical Storm Sally is located about 115 miles east-southeast of the mouth of Mississippi River, moving west-northwest at 8 mph with maximum sustained winds of 65 mph.

Sally will make landfall Monday night into the overnight hours as a hurricane somewhere in southeast Louisiana. A hurricane warning is in effect from Morgan City, La., to the Mississippi/Alabama border as well as Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas, including metropolitan New Orleans.
