the Indy 500 starts today at
noon right here on Channel 2
did. All right, let’s get a
check on o let’s get a check on
what we are dreading we’re
worried we’re thinking about it
we’re talking about it with a
son and a lot going on here
Marco going to be hitting
Louisiana later on we’re
looking war right now that’s
going to be the bigger issue
for us right now.
>> Latest models came out of 10
o’clock 70 mile an hour winds
from Marco right now still
short of a hurricane. Laura is
that 50 mile an hour winds, you
look at what’s going on exact
track radar not a lot going on
for us locally, but you can see
off to our East. The rain is
already starting to hit from
Marco right now which is down
in the gulf moving in the
direction of New Orleans where
it’s going to be hitting in the
New Orleans area here just to
the south of New Orleans,
here’s a a little satellite
look at what’s going on here
they can see the convection
really building up as it moves
toward that coast. Hurricane
warnings are already up along
the coastline. There are some
other warning a likely to be
shut in the coming days for
this area here as Laura start
to make its way in our
direction as well so it’s 10
o’clock advisory 70 mile an
hour winds moving to the north
Northwest at 14 miles per hour.
You notice it moves into the
gulf is going to a category one
and then expected to go right
down pretty quickly to a
tropical storm as it moves
across Southeast, Louisiana.
This is as of tomorrow evening
and then sliding across the
state of Louisiana into East
Texas as an area of low
pressure by the time we get to
Wednesday but then we start
paying attention to what’s
going on behind the because
Laura right now the tropical
storm at 50 miles an hour in
the Katy area moving across the
area of Cuba into the gulf and
by Tuesday morning into
Wednesday we’re going to see it
starting to strengthen to a
category one we’re talking
about that this morning that
the models were of trimming the
push to see the farther to the
West and that is what’s
happened the latest 10 o’clock
advisory of the National
Hurricane center is putting
this as a category one and then
a 2 as it moves into here
Wednesday Thursday tie pre
Wednesday night into Thursday
morning. But what happens is a
look at category 2 as of
Thursday morning that this is
to this unusual to see it
happening strengthening at this
kind of challenging to see that
it might strengthen to a
category 2 just know that it’s
on a strong storm category one
or 2 at this point coming right
across the Louisiana, Texas
border and that of course
brings all of Houston into the
quote dry side, but it still to
this day when storm as much as
a rainstorm because it will be
bringing in a lot of moisture
as well a lot of rain terms of
sheer there’s not a lot a lot
that’s going to get in the way
of it by Monday. We have the
sheer breadth breaking down a
little bit.
>> And by the time we get to
Tuesday. Laura is taking over
the sheer this year indications
you see is from lower as it
comes in this part of the state
moving in on going into that
time period. So here’s American
model showing what’s going on
here this shows Marco moving on
up going into Tuesday and into
shows Laura coming into
Wednesday morning into
Wednesday evening and this
model shows it’s fighting a
little Further to the east of
the border, but that’s one
model that shows what’s going
on in terms of the rain amounts
the American model so this is
Marcos rain for today, 5 to 6
to 7 inches going forward there
and then going forward to what
happens with law on Thursday
sliding in that area here if it
doesn’t slide much further to
the West this is where the
heaviest rain would be that’s
the American model the European
model, same sort of scenario
his marco’s rain and then look
what happens with Laura comes
in and it has a different
signal altogether this model
brings it right in the middle
of the Houston area with
tremendous amounts of rain 10
to 12 inches of rain going for
of course with a category one
or 2 we also have the wind is
associated with it as well so
and later model runs will find
out which one of these models
are going to win out because
there are hurricane center is
looking at all of them and
that’s all we that all lets us
know that we need to pay close
attention to the model runs as
they happen later on today
right now for us today, still a
day for you to get your act
together in terms of figure out
what you want to do now that we
know that Marco is not a direct
hit for us give us a little
extra time to get prepared for
what might be Laura impacting
our area with some pretty
impacts going forward here 8586
degrees mid 80’s for almost
everybody except along the
coast with 89 in Galveston with
those Northeast winds 5, 6, 7,
9 miles an hour 12 in Galveston
is pretty comfortable in terms
of the Northeast wind we’re
going to be mid 90’s today with
those rain chances about 20%
chance and then we’ve got to
look forward to what’s going to
happen without Simon and can
change just model. At this
point just know that going
forward here. The rain chances
in the middle of the week will
be going up we’re going to be
paying a lot more attention to
lower here in this time period
here going forward here at this
point the way the models are
running we’re going to need to
change that going forward so
make sure that you keep your
eyes to what we’ve got we’ve
got a hurricane app we’ve got
all kinds of information for
you to keep track up to keep
you updated on what’s going to
be going on here we’re doing a
facebook live in a little bit
giving you all the details you
need to have as well about the
storm about the potential
hitting our area. What we can
