Tropical storms Laura and Marco are still spinning in the Atlantic basin. They will both likely end up in the Gulf of Mexico at the same time, which is a rare occurrence. There’s still a chance that one or both will hit the U.S. Gulf Coast as hurricanes.

Details are available in the attached video.
