JLWM8609 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 TD 14 has formed into Marco, so a thread name change is in order. TD 13 formed into Laura before TD 14 could strengthen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the weather channel was useful like they once were (long ago). My wife was looking for info on the storms heading our way last night and they were just playing endless documentaries. I told her to check the local tv websites instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoDog Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 We could end up with Marco, so it may be correct afterall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 Now they're saying we could get a little both of them, Marco and Laura combined. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news is that at least from a rainfall perspective, Houston (or nowhere else in the US for that matter) will ever see a rainfall event like Harvey for a long, long time. According to NOAA, the 5-day rainfall totals associated with Harvey was a once in 25,000 year to once in 500,000 year event (a 0.004% to 0.0002% chance of occurring in a given year). Even a double whammy from Laura and Marco would not come anywhere near Harvey's rains. But it certainly is unusual to see two storms in the Gulf at once (if it indeed happens). https://www.climate.gov/news-features/event-tracker/reviewing-hurricane-harveys-catastrophic-rain-and-flooding 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use ABC13's site, but when it comes to a tropical storm or hurricane (or, really, any significant weather event), my first stop is always Space City Weather. Unlike the local TV stations, they aren't beholden to ratings and the need to sell ads. Space City Weather 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 We might get lucky and not get either one of these storms, as of Sat. nights track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinsanity02 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) According Tropical Tidbits its beginning to look as if Laura is going to be a problem for us, Marco may get clipped by wind shear.

CaptainJilliams Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Laura is going to be close, but hopefully if it does hit, we get the clean side rather than the messy side. Marco to me could also be a potential issue, I know it's supposed to decrease in intensity after hitting Louisiana, but I'm concerned that it might gain some more strength riding the coast as it heads towards us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
