Marco has been downgraded to a tropical storm and will scape the southern Louisiana border tonight. This has peaked and will remain a weaker storm as it impacts land.

Laura is now the stronger storm and expected to reach Category 2 or 3 hurricane intensity when it reaches Louisiana Wednesday night. That storm is now poised to bring us rain by the weekend. I will have a complete tropical weather update after the 8 AM advisory.
