The latest forecast cone for Tropical Storm Laura has taken a turn to the west, again raising concerns that the storm could make landfall in Southeast Texas this week.
Laura is near Cuba on Sunday morning.

“While the details of the long-range track and intensity forecasts remain uncertain, Laura is forecast to strengthen over the Gulf of Mexico and there is an increasing risk of storm surge, rainfall, and wind impacts along portions of the U.S. Gulf Coast by the middle of the week,” the National Hurricane Center reports.
Tropical Storm Marco is expected to make landfall Monday on the Louisiana coast near Louisiana, although the National Hurricane Center reports the track could still shift between now and Monday.
