Discussion
Tropical Storm Marco is undergoing weakening as it approaches the central Gulf coastal region due to wind shear in the mid and upper levels of the atmosphere. The wind shear is being generated in an area that is between an upper-level trough to the west and an upper-level ridge to the east. There is little chance that Marco intensifies from this point on and it should fall apart over the next few days. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Laura is moving along the southern part of Cuba and it will enter the Gulf of Mexico by early tomorrow and likely intensify into hurricane status as it rides over the very warm waters. Tropical Storm Laura is then likely to heads towards the border region of Texas and Louisiana with a possible landfall as a hurricane on Wednesday night or Thursday. The remains of the Tropical Storm Laura could actually bring some heavy rainfall to parts of the Mid-Atlantic region by the upcoming weekend. In the near-term, there can be scattered showers and thunderstorms today and tonight and more numerous storms on Tuesday – some of which can be strong-to-severe.
