If this forecast holds true, it would be the first time in recorded history that two hurricanes muscled through the Gulf’s warm waters simultaneously.
One system is Tropical Storm Laura, which formed Friday morning in the Atlantic Ocean.
It could also be another record breaker for 2020 with the potential for seven tropical cyclone landfalls in the continental U.S. before the end of August. While Boca Raton through Boynton Beach remained in the cone of uncertainty early Friday, areas north of Boynton Beach were out of the cone. Communities west were also still in the cone.
A tropical storm watch was in effect for Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands, the southeastern Bahamas and several Caribbean islands. A tropical storm watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, generally within 48 hours.
