As one storm heading toward the US Gulf Coast is weakening, another is growing stronger.
But the state is still in the path of Tropical Storm Laura, which is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane before making landfall in the US. Both storms were previously predicted to strike the Louisiana coast as hurricanes within miles of each other and in a 48-hour period -- an event unlike any other in modern meteorological history, National Weather Service meteorologist Benjamin Schott said.
Though downgraded, Marco is still expected to be a dangerous storm, bringing tropical force winds, heavy rain, flash flooding and isolated tornadoes. It could even bring surge up to 6 feet in the Gulf Coast, along with"a tremendous amount of rain," Chinchar said. And Laura is expected to follow closely on its heels.
