Laura became a hurricane on Tuesday morning as it entered the warm and deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico, gathering strength on a path to hit the U.S. coastline early Thursday as a major hurricane that could unleash a surge of seawater higher than a basketball hoop and swamp entire towns.

Weather Forecast
Meteorologist Mike Woods says we are off to a mild start to the day with a fair sky and mild, muggy conditions. Today will be sunny early with more clouds developing as the day goes on. It will be hot and humid through the day leading up to some scattered showers and storms some of which could be in the strong to severe range. Today's high: 91 degrees. The showers will wind down this evening with lows in the mid to upper 60s. Tomorrow will be cooler, drier, and much more comfortable with highs in the lower 80s. But more tropical moisture with showers and storms will head to the Tri-State by the end of the week.
