Please see later forecast, here.

After a quick look at the new models, the forecast below still looks good. I am confident Laura will be a major hurricane on landfall. Please take a look at the safety suggestions and if you live within 30 miles of the coast, please consider putting them into effect.

I expect to have the next update this evening, somewhere around 7:30pm. That, of course, is dependent on data availability.
