The National Hurricane Center warned of potentially life-threatening storm surge and high winds along the U.S. Gulf Coast as Hurricane Marco approaches.
Marco strengthened into a hurricane over the Gulf of Mexico on Sunday on its way toward the Louisiana coast, according to data from an Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft.
This year's hurricane season is on pace to become one of the worst in recorded history, in part because of hotter-than-average sea surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. Tropical Storm Laura, which the hit the Dominican Republic and Haiti, is also expected to develop into a hurricane and is headed toward the U.S. coast.
