Hurricane Laura strengthens to Category 3
All of the Houston area is out of the cone this morning and it appears Port Arthur will be on the ?clean? side as well. Laura is expected to be a Cat. 4 storm with winds at 130 mph before weakening a bit before landfall near the Texas/Louisiana border. Rain will become more likely today near Houston and winds will be closer to 15-20 mph later tonight. Elevated tides along the coast could still lead to some coastal flooding and we will watch that closely. Rain will remain in the forecast into the weekend simply due to the extra moisture Laura is bringing across the Gulf.

Tropical Weather Update
The 10pm forecast has shifted Laura back to the east a little with most of the Houston area being taken out of the cone. If this holds, it would mean less of an impact on SE Texas, but it is still too early to know.

Tropical Weather Update
Here is why we expect Laura to turn to the north and make landfall near the Texas/Louisiana border. High pressure to the east and upper level winds to the southwest will steer the storm between the two forces. We do need to stay alert.
