Tropical Storm #Laura is now located south of central Cuba after being disrupted overnight by the eastern Cuban mountains. Laura may take some time to reorganize, and then is likely to strengthen into a dangerous hurricane over the gulf and threaten Texas and/or Louisiana by Wed.

I don’t understand how they say this thing is moving WNW at all. It moved 0.1N and 0.8W in 3 hours. That is moving about 277 degrees or just slightly above due W. Each of the plots on the track have it moving more NW by now. This thing has to be taking longer to make the curve then they thought and heading further W
This...Laura has been moving at around a 285 compass heading for the past 48 hours which is not far off of due west. This morning it is at a 290 heading.

Laura and having a hard time finding the center.
what does this do? just make it difficult to predict? or will it drift because of this?

Lots of talk on other sites and on twitter by Mets that UKmet has been best performing so far and has Laura going way west along with latest euro ensembles
That is plausible, but it's probably being talked about the most by Houston area interests. Houston is the next population center that generates major interest, so you have to take the discussion with a grain of salt.
If this board was dominated by Texas weather posters, you'd find that most would be discussing things that bring it to Texas. Same if it was a Florida based board. That's the rub with any weather forum - there is a strong contingent of people who only want to discuss things that mean doom for them.

People tend to focus on the eye location and neglect the damage and effects of a major hurricane skirting the coast. We get a major that close and you will have issues across the entire coast of LA from grand isle to lake Charles. Not to mention br will see ts condistions. This thing takes the eastern side of the track and we get hurricane andrew part II... ride that one out in bourg LA and it was no picnic

Nah, just means they missed where they anticipated it would be. There are actually two low level reconnaissance flights being done in Laura at the moment. The other flight found it on the first pass.

So Marco has basically fallen apart and expected to come ashore around Grand Isle or there abouts?
Posted on 8/24/20 at 7:29 am to slackster
Slackster now they found the center where has it moved from the last finding? More west/east or north
Posted on 8/24/20 at 7:30 am to BigHoss
Wrong. WNW is defined as being around 290 on a compass. I get that technically it moved north but we are talking super small north. It is closer to W than WNW. I just see the actual movement as important to final destination.
Posted on 8/24/20 at 7:32 am to CaptainJ47
CaptJ where you see landfall with the little movement?
Posted on 8/24/20 at 7:32 am to slackster
Laura looks like she is sucking in some dry air from the North.

I had a dream last night that my house got wrecked from this thing. I hope it’s not a premonition.
Guess I’ve followed this thread too closely.

The local people here Houston seem to expect a fairly significant shift once Laura gets in the gulf tomorrow.

Yea center is way south of what models expected and its still moving more west than what they thought
UKmet is showing this the best
Posted on 8/24/20 at 7:40 am to CaptainJ47
BigHoss I will leave that to people in this thread way smarter than me. I just wanted to note that the longer it stays on a more westerly track then the more west the final landfall will be.

You both need to stay quiet.
