Tropical Storm Edouard continues to develop in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Tropical storm warnings are in effect from the mouth of the Mississippi River to Intracoastal City, La. A tropical storm watch is in effect from Intracoastal City to Port O'Connor, Texas. Hurricane watches and warnings may have to be issued later.
Edouard is moving slowly westward at 4 mph. The central pressure is 1002 mb and the storm is centered about 415 mile ESE of Galveston, Texas.
Edouard should make landfall either along the southwest Louisiana Coast or the Texas Gulf Coast by Tuesday. There is a possibility that Edouard could reach hurricane strength.
Heavy rain will likely be associated with the storm after it makes landfall.
One benefit from this system is that it could break the heat wave across much of Texas by the middle of the week. -
