DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
———————-
At 800 AM AST (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Laura was
located near latitude 17.7 North, longitude 66.0 West. Laura is
moving toward the west near 21 mph (33 km/h), and a generally
west-northwestward motion is expected over the next few days. On
the forecast track, the center of Laura will move near Puerto Rico
this morning, near or over Hispaniola this afternoon and tonight,
and near or over eastern Cuba Sunday and Sunday night.

Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
Slow strengthening is expected during the next few days.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205 miles (335 km)
mainly to the north of the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure based on surface
observations is 1006 mb (29.71 inches).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
———————-
RAINFALL: Laura is expected to produce 3 to 6 inches of rain over
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, the Dominican Republic, the
southern Haitian Peninsula and eastern Cuba through Sunday. Maximum
amounts up to 8 inches are possible along eastern portions and the
southern slopes of Puerto Rico, as well as over Haiti, the Dominican
Republic and eastern Cuba. This heavy rainfall could lead to flash
and urban flooding, as well as an increased potential for mudslides
with minor river flooding in Puerto Rico.

1 to 3 inches of rain with isolated maximum totals of 5 inches are
expected over the northern Leeward Islands, the Turks and Caicos
and southeast Bahamas.

WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected within portions of
the warning area this morning through Sunday. Tropical storm
conditions are possible within portions of the watch area Sunday
night.

SURF: Swells generated by Laura are affecting portions of the
northern Leeward Islands. These swells are expected to spread
across the northern coasts of Puerto Rico, Hispaniola and Cuba,
and much of the Bahamas during the next few days. Please consult
products from your local weather office.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
———————-
At 700 AM CDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Marco was
located near latitude 20.2 North, longitude 85.2 West. Marco is
moving toward the north-northwest near 12 mph (19 km/h). A
northwestward motion is expected on Sunday, followed by a turn
toward the northwest and west-northwest early next week. On the
forecast track, the center of Marco will approach the eastern coast
of the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico today. The center will approach
the northeastern part of the Yucatan Peninsula by early evening and
move over the central Gulf of Mexico toward the northwestern Gulf on
Sunday and Monday followed by a track toward the northwestern Gulf
coast Tuesday.

Data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate
that maximum sustained winds have increased to near 50 mph (85 km/h)
with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast during the
next couple of days as the system approaches the Yucatan peninsula,
and Marco could be near hurricane strength when it moves over the
central Gulf of Mexico Sunday night and early Monday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km)
from the center. Marco’s center moved just to the west of NOAA buoy
42056, which recently reported a sustained wind of 38 mph (61 km/h)
and a gust to 45 mph (72 km/h).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1002 mb (29.59 inches).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
———————-
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected to first reach the
eastern Yucatan coast within the warning area this afternoon
and will spread northward and westward within the warning area
tonight, making outside preparations difficult or dangerous.
Hurricane conditions are also possible within the hurricane watch
area by this evening.

RAINFALL: Marco is expected to produce the following rainfall
accumulations through Sunday:

Eastern portions of the Mexican states of Quintana Roo and Yucatan:
3 to 6 inches, isolated maximum totals of 10 inches. Far western
Cuba: 1 to 3 inches. This rainfall may result in areas of flash
flooding.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 PM EDT Tue Aug 18 2020

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

A tropical wave located over the eastern Caribbean Sea is producing 
a large area of cloudiness and disorganized thunderstorms, along 
with strong gusty winds on the north side of the disturbance.  
Significant development of this system is unlikely during the next 
day or so while it moves quickly westward at about 20 mph across 
the eastern and central Caribbean Sea.  After that time, however, 
the wave is forecast to move more slowly west-northwestward, and a 
tropical depression is likely to form late this week or this 
weekend when the system reaches the northwestern Caribbean Sea.  
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

A broad and elongated area of low pressure located about 1000 miles 
west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands continues to produce a 
concentrated area of showers and thunderstorms on the west side of 
the disturbance.  Environmental conditions are conducive for further 
development, and a tropical depression is expected to form during 
the next day or two while the system moves generally west- 
northwestward at 15 to 20 mph across the central and western 
portions of the tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

A tropical wave over the eastern Caribbean Sea continues to produce 
an area of disorganized thunderstorms and gusty winds.  This wave 
is moving quickly westward at about 20 mph and significant 
development is unlikely while it moves across the eastern and 
central Caribbean Sea during the next day or two.  After that time, 
however, the wave is forecast to slow down, and a tropical 
depression will likely form late this week or this weekend when it 
reaches the northwestern Caribbean Sea.  
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

An area of low pressure located about 1300 miles east of the 
Lesser Antilles is producing a concentrated area of showers and 
thunderstorms.  Environmental conditions are conducive for 
development, and a tropical depression is expected to form within 
the next couple of days while the system moves west-northwestward 
at 15 to 20 mph across the central and western portions of the 
tropical Atlantic.  Interests in the Lesser Antilles should monitor 
the progres of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

800 PM EDT Mon Aug 17 2020

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

A tropical wave near the Windward Islands continues to produce a 
large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.  This 
disturbance is moving westward at about 20 mph, and is expected to 
continue to move quickly westward over the eastern and central 
Caribbean Sea during the next couple of days, which is likely to 
limit significant development.  After that time, however, the system 
is forecast to move more slowly westward across the western 
Caribbean, where upper-level winds could become more conducive for 
the development of a tropical depression during the latter part of 
this week.  Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall and 
gusty winds are expected over portions of the Windward and southern 
Leeward Islands through Tuesday morning.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent.

Satellite images indicate that a broad area of low pressure located 
about 700 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands has become 
better organized since yesterday, with increasing banding features 
near the center.  Environmental conditions are conducive for further 
development, and a tropical depression is likely to form within a 
couple days while the system moves westward to west-northwestward 
at 15 to 20 mph across the central and western portions of the 
tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.
