Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Looks like Tropical Storm Laura's track hasn't changed much in the forecast, but Tropical Depression Fourteen's track has made a notable swing back to the west.

Looks like the 5PM forecast track for TS Laura is moving it even further west. The way this is going, TD Fourteen and TS Laura might both impact Texas by the time all is said and done.

Actually, looking at the Ventusky modeling forecast, it looks more probably that Louisiana will catch both storms. TD 14 on Monday, and TS Laura on Wednesday, with Laura being by far the more powerful storm.
But I still think I'm still going to get the Grand Cherokee's gas tank filled up sometime in the next few days anyway.

I think if any of you have any plans to be going to Louisiana this upcoming week, you may want to modify your plans a bit.
BTW, tropical depression 14 became renamed to Tropical Storm Marco.
Fortunately with TS Laura crossing the length of Cuba, that should weaken it quite a bit before it can build back strength in the Gulf of Mexico.

At least the two storms aren't converging and making landfall there on the same day. But heck, maybe it would be better to just get it all over with all at one time.
At least they aren't Cat 5 storms being predicted. A couple of Michael category storms slamming an area one after the other would probably just wipe the land completely clean of all human structures.
Just feels like it is piling insult onto injury having landfalling tropical storms to worry about with everything else going on lately. Hopefully any that do impact us will be only minor ones and no monsters.

I don't think two low pressure areas (both CCW rotations) can simultaneously coexist in adjacent spaces...

At this time, they are both projected to make landfall on Louisiana.
They say it is the first ever to have two storms like this:

There have never been two hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico at the same time before.

Maybe the 'first on our (modern) record', but I sincerely doubt 'first EVER'.
Whomever decided that building New Orleans below sea level would be a good idea should be getting an extra helping or three of their hot coals this week...

I'm wondering if Marco blazing the trail might be a good thing to keep Laura from becoming much stronger that it would otherwise. As it is, Laura may be a Cat 2 at landfall. Marco may be a Cat 1.

Actually Marco looks right impressive in imagery right now.

Hmm, I'm looking at the Ventusky models and they are predicting that Marco won't even make landfall before dissipating. Marco will turn to the west over water and just dissipate before reaching land, according to the model.
But Laura looks like it will then build up steam as it comes off of Cuba and continues towards Louisiana. Wind speeds don't seem very high in the models, so Laura might barely reach Cat 1 because of the Gulf being so churned up by Marco. Plus all the rain and cloud cover will likely reduce the water temps somewhat. Heck right now here below Tallahassee the air temp is only 78 degrees, and yesterday it barely got to 75 degrees.
Well, hoping that this won't be as bad as it could be. Louisiana sure seems to get more than it's share of lumps from tropical storms.
