Marco downgraded to tropical storm Laura strengthens a bit as storms eye Louisiana coast

ORLANDO, Fla. – The FOX 35 Weather workforce is tracking Marco and Laura as they established their eyes on the Louisiana coast.

In its 11 p.m. (EST) update, the Nationwide Hurricane Centre (NHC) declared that Marco was downgraded to a tropical storm on Sunday, whilst Tropical Storm Laura strengthened a bit.

They are each envisioned to make landfall along the Louisiana coastline.

There is a chance the storms could merge above the Gulf, with the more robust of the two absorbing the weaker storm.

On the other hand, meteorologists say this would not build an even more robust storm. If that comes about, it would be the initially time two hurricanes had been in the Gulf at the same time, forecasters say, heading again to the start out of file-retaining in 1851. 

The great information is that Florida is out of the two Laura and Marco’s cones. The Sunshine Condition does continue to be on the east side of these storms although, producing the likelihood for gusty winds, an improve in rain chance and the potential for tornadic activity.
