Tracking Tropical Storm Laura, Tropical Storm Marco
video

Overnight, Marco got much weaker and Laura got a bit stronger. Marco is expected to move our way as a tropical depression and bring some rain Tuesday and early Wednesday. By that time, we will be anxiously watching what will likely be Hurricane Laura. The latest models and NHC forecast track haven?t changed much - the focus is still near the state line of Texas and Louisiana. Any small changes to the west or east will have a large effect on the severity of our weather. At this point, prepare for rain, wind and especially coastal flooding Wednesday and Thursday. Coastal evacuations might be necessary.

Houston-area weather forecast 8-23
video

Warm weather on Sunday with a few showers possible this afternoon. Our attention, however, is focused on a complex forecast over the next few days for the Houston-area. Marco, forecast to become a hurricane later today, will likely make landfall along the Louisiana coastline on Monday evening with very little negative impact to our weather in Houston. Not far behind Marco is Laura, which is showing signs of strengthening this morning over the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Once Laura emerges in the Gulf on Monday, we should have higher confidence where the ultimate track will take the storm. Part of Houston is in Laura's cone of uncertainty, but there does remain a high level of uncertainty as it moves over the rugged terrain of Hispaniola and Cuba. The current forecast has Laura making landfall late Wednesday or early Thursday morning either in Texas or Louisiana. This is an evolving forecast so be sure to check back in throughout the day.

We are still watching the Gulf but feeling better about Marco this evening. Laura looks to follow Marco into Louisiana but still has some uncertainty in its forecast. Keeping rain chances conservative right now holding everything in line with tracks from the National Hurricane Center.

Another unprecedented event is about to happen. It?s rather fitting for 2020. Two hurricanes in the Gulf at the same time. It?s time to put our hurricane plans into action. Tues night looks to be landfall for Hurricane Marco in SE Texas. Be calm, be alert, and be wise.

Friday weather forecast

As we watch and wait for developments in the tropics, keep an eye out for afternoon storms today through Sunday with about a 20% chance each day. Highs will run in the mid 90s. Over the weekend, we will get more certainty about the strength and track of TD #14 as it becomes a tropical storm and possibly a hurricane. For now, plan on rain and coastal flooding by Tuesday.
