The Gulf Coast is facing a very rough week.Tropical Storm Laura is gaining strength and could be a Category 3 hurricane by the time it makes landfall later this week.It's expected to hit along the coast of Louisiana and Texas, potentially with 100-plus-per-mile hour winds.And, even as we speak, the coast is feeling the effects of Tropical Storm Marco.It's weakened, but is still bringing rain. Ken Graham is the director of the National Hurricane Center.And he joins me now from Miami. Ken Graham, give us a sense of what these storms look like right now.Yes, right now, looking at the satellite here, Marco is very close to making landfall right here at the mouth of the Mississippi River.But what is interesting is, most of the rain was sheered off.So, most of the heavy rain is the Southeast U.S. in the Florida Panhandle all the way up into Alabama, Georgia and Carolinas,so heavy rainfall, but we're looking at Laura as well, just a large circulation just south of the island of Cuba.And we expect it to make its way into the Gulf of Mexico and strengthen into a hurricane.And, Ken Graham, how usual or not is it for two hurricanes…or two storms to be coming so close together like this?Yes, it's just…it's very unusual. And it is a situation that it is usual from a meteorological perspective,but it's also unusual and difficult from a preparedness standpoint as well,because you start getting the impacts in certain locations from Marco, and, two days later, you start getting a stronger system.
墨西哥湾沿岸将面临非常严峻的一周，热带风暴劳拉的风力正在增强，在本周晚些时候登陆时可能会变成3级飓风。飓风预计将袭击路易斯安那州和德克萨斯州海岸，风速可能会达到每小时100多英里。而在我们说话的同时，海岸正遭受热带风暴马可的冲击，虽然风力已经减弱，但仍伴随降雨。肯・格雷厄姆是国家飓风中心的主任，现在他在迈阿密和我连线。肯・格雷厄姆，可以给我们说一下风暴目前的情况吗？好的，现在，看一下这边的卫星，马可很有可能在密西西比河的河口登陆。但有趣的是，大部分降雨被转移了。所以，暴雨的降雨地区主要在美国东南部的佛罗里达州，一直到亚拉巴马州、乔治亚州和卡罗来纳州，非常强的降雨。但我们同时也看到了劳拉，就是古巴岛南部的一个大型环流，我们预计它将进入墨西哥湾并变强成为飓风。肯・格雷厄姆，两场飓风、或者说两场风暴像这样离得这么近，这种情况常见吗？嗯，很罕见。从气象角度来看这种情况很常见，但从防范的角度来看这种情况很罕见、很棘手。因为刚开始只有特定的地方会受到马可的冲击，而两天后我们将看到一个更强大的系统。
