DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

----–

At 700 PM CDT (0000 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Laura was located

near latitude 28.4 North, longitude 92.9 West. Laura is moving

toward the north-northwest near 15 mph (24 km/h). A turn toward the

north is expected overnight, and a northward motion should continue

on Thursday. A northeastward to east-northeastward motion is

expected Thursday night and Friday. On the forecast track, Laura

will approach the upper Texas and southwest Louisiana coasts this

evening and move inland within that area tonight. The center of

Laura is forecast to move over northwestern Louisiana tomorrow,

across Arkansas Thursday night, and over the mid-Mississippi Valley

on Friday.

 

Reports from a NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that the

maximum sustained winds have increased to near 150 mph (240 km/h)

with higher gusts. Laura is an extremely dangerous category 4

hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Some

additional strengthening is possible tonight before Laura reaches

the northwest Gulf coast overnight. Rapid weakening is expected

after Laura moves inland.

 

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from

the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205

miles (335 km). A sustained wind of 48 mph (78 km/h) was recently

reported at Cypremort Point, Louisiana, on Vermilion Bay.

 

The minimum central pressure estimated from NOAA Hurricane Hunter

aircraft observations is 940 mb (27.76 inches).

…CATASTROPHIC STORM SURGE, EXTREME WINDS, AND FLASH FLOODING

EXPECTED ALONG THE NORTHWEST GULF COAST TONIGHT…

LOCATION…28.4N 92.9W

STORM SURGE:The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the

tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by

rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could

reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated

areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide…

 

Johnson Bayou LA to Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge including Calcasieu

Lake…15-20 ft

Sea Rim State Park TX to Johnson Bayou LA including Sabine

Lake…10-15 ft

Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge to Intracoastal City LA…10-15 ft

Intracoastal City LA to Morgan City including Vermilion Bay…8-12

ft

Port Bolivar TX to Sea Rim State Park…6-9 ft

Morgan City LA to Mouth of the Mississippi River…4-7 ft

Freeport TX to Port Bolivar including Galveston Bay…2-4 ft

Mouth of the Mississippi River to Ocean Springs MS including Lake

Borgne…1-3 ft

Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas…1-3 ft

 

The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to

the right of the landfall location, where the surge will be

accompanied by large and destructive waves.

 

Unsurvivable storm surge with large and destructive waves will cause

catastrophic damage from Sea Rim State Park, Texas, to Intracoastal

City, Louisiana, including Calcasieu and Sabine Lakes. This surge

could penetrate up to 40 miles inland from the immediate coastline,

and flood waters will not fully recede for several days after the

storm.

 

Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge

and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances. For

information specific to your area, please see products issued by

your local National Weather Service forecast office.
