Forecasters Warn Tropical Storm Laura Will Become Hurricane

VOA News

   Tropical Storm Laura is likely to become a hurricane Tuesday as it
   heads into the warm waters of the Caribbean, forecasters warn, while
   its twin storm Marco is losing strength but will still produce heavy
   and high winds as it approaches the Gulf Coast of the southern United
   States.

   The [1]National Hurricane Centersays that, as of midday Monday, Marco
   was within 90 kilometers of the mouth of the Mississippi River on the
   Louisiana coast. A strong, steady southwesterly wind shear weakened
   Marco, which, some models predicted, could become a hurricane.
