Tropical Storm Edouard forms in the Gulf
Tom Moore, Lead Meteorologist, The Weather Channel
7:54 p.m. ET 8/3/2008

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. -

Yea, Dolly didn't quite get that for north. I guess ya'll need the rain up there too. My kin only got 8-10" of rain in the Valley the other week. Lots of trees knocked over, no loss of juice though, luckly I guess. Lots of skeeters now. They're bringing in big mosquito sprayer planes tomorrow to aerial fumigate the area. 'Course all the hippies say "You can't spray w/in 1/2 mile of any refuge or state or national park. So you know where all the skeeters are going. -

I don't think it's ever quit rainin here. First and second cuttings of hay so far have been a waste cause there's not enough time between rains to get it baled so it lays there and get's rained on. Rained most of the day today, now with a heat index pushin 107 degrees tommorrow it's gonna be bad. -
