Louisiana could see an unprecedented two storm landfalls in three days: Marco striking Monday and the more formidable Laura late Wednesday into Thursday.

Tropical Storm Laura forms, may be one of two Gulf Coast hurricanes next week

Forecast guidance from computer models and other sources suggest two hurricane landfalls are possible along the Gulf Coast beginning on Tuesday, with the possibility that the storms could interact in some way, depending on their size.

These are the latest developments in what’s already been one of the busiest Atlantic hurricane seasons to date....

Tropical Storm Laura marks the earliest-forming L storm on record, beating out Tropical Storm Luis, which formed on Aug. 29, 1995. The season has also featured the earliest-forming C, E, F, G, H, I, J and K storms on record....

There is additional activity which may organise into a storm or storms in the eastern Atlantic.

Gettin' busy.
