Tuesday 4 pm tropical update: Hurricane Laura heads for Texas-Louisiana ...

A strong hurricane Laura is moving toward the Texas-Louisiana border but is starting to move slightly west, closer to Beaumont and Houston.

Marco has lost all of its tropical characteristics and is no longer a tropical system. However, the remnant low will bring southeast Louisiana scattered showers with some downpours possible Tuesday. An isolated tornado may also be possible, but the chance looks slim as of Tuesday afternoon.

The focus now shifts to Laura which became a hurricane early Tuesday shortly after moving over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Laura is expected to intensify on a path to hit the U.S. Coastline late Wednesday or early Thursday as a major Category 3 hurricane capable of "devastating" damage.
