Tropical Storm Laura and Tropical Storm Marco are both forecast to strengthen into hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico over the next three days and make landfall somewhere along the Texas or Louisiana coasts. The paths of the storms are unusually close to each other and if both become hurricanes, it would be first time in history there were two in the Gulf of Mexico at the same time. It is likely to be the third time in history two tropical storms of any intensity make landfall along the same coastline. Florida is now outside of the the path of Tropical Storm Laura with the exception of Key West.
