I never believe it go as Far East as Texas. And I still don’t think that be the case. Louisiana is as Far East this goes. And I agree Florida is still in play. My reason for believing this is that High pressure will pick it up turn it north before it goes to Texas

Looks like they agree with HWRF, GFS, and Icon.......will be interesting tomorrow to see if the H goes to an M....I can't imagine they would make that call until it comes off the islands....

Looks like it could be a cat 2 at least, possibly cat 3.
 
Another concept to think about is that #TSMarco will be in the Gulf first. The trough has actually pulled the storm north and will completely miss the Yucatán. #TSLaura will be moving in the exact waters Marco traveled in. Cooling the waters before Laura arrives. This will hamper any major redevelopment once Laura emerges from Cuba.

It's not like it's going to turn the water into a 60° chill.

Do you mean as far WEST as Texas ?
 
I may be alone on an island guys, but I see why TSLaura is strengthening right now. Water is like a bath in the Caribbean. I still believe we are only looking at a upper cat one in the gulf possibly a weak two. Just the water is a lot cooler then you guys think. Speed is also a factor.

Hard to see that though maybe the far western tip of the Panhandle. Ridge across the SE into Fl and the SW Atlantic is really stacking from 850 up. I think with the weak upper low closing off and backing west across Tx if there is a big surprise in track it would likely be west.
 
From an intensity perspective 12z GFS is about 12 MB weaker than 6z run but in pretty much exact same spot for landfall. 976 at LA/TX border.
