Tropical Major Hurricane Laura

Hmm, I did think this was starting to look a lot better just by a glance, but didn't think we'd have Laura right afterward here.

Well, either way, it's just about time to see what happens in the more favorable area anyhow.
 
Euro looks like it interacts the system with land, which is bad news for hurricane enthusiasts. The good news is the HWRF, however, shoots the gap with a strengthening system. It can be a little overzealous, though, with intensity.
 
The biggest story with this storm may not be the wind surge at the coast. But after this system moves inland there not much steering currents to really speed up or push this system out. Therefore it may move very slowly and just dwindle about for days. With some areas seeing a foot of rain or more. The flooding will be the biggest story I believe.

What are the odds the models shift back east? Isaias trended west and then quickly shifted back east, as did Dorian

I have noticed that, generally speaking, models seem to tend to trend East over time with tropical systems, not unlike the general West trends we usually see with the models for winter storms. Not saying that Laura will do this as this is not always the case, but I am just making a general observation.
 
With the Fugiwhara Effect one would think these would literally bounce off if each other in a way and TD 14 would go more west than forecast and Laura may be a little east of modeling.

Apparently the last time there were two systems making landfall at the same time in the gulf was 1933.

Watching this effect is gonna be fun. I’m looking forward to this to be honest. I don’t wish a storm on anyone but this affect is something I’m interested in seeing
