Good morning.
Today is the 28th anniversary of Hurricane Andrew which made landfall across Miami-Dade County on 8-24-92. A day most of us will never forget.
If you look at the water vapor loop below you can see both TS Laura and TS Marco. Laura is now south of Cuba and is experiencing shear out of the north. In light of this South Florida will see very little rain today. It will be due south of Miami at around 11 am today and at its closest approach. Marco is experiencing shear out of the SW and has very little weather near its center. In light of this it is forecast to remain a tropical storm.
See NHC forecast tracks below. The real risk for the northern Gulf Coast is Laura which is forecast to cross over both the Gulf Stream and the Gulf Loop Current with very warm water. Though the current forecast advisory is for peak winds to 95 mph there is the possibility of it becoming a major hurricane. What happens tomorrow and Wednesday will be the key.
Until next time, Matt.
