Hurricane Edouard

Tropical Storm Edouard could strengthen into a hurricane nearing Louisiana, Texas

Tropical Storm Edouard drenches East Texas, prompting rescues and power outages

Tropical Storm Edouard dumped up to nearly two feet of rain across parts of Texas, triggering widespread flooding, rescues of stranded motorists, and damage to homes and infrastructure as the system lingered and weakened into a tropical depression. Authorities warned of ongoing flood threats, power outages, and closures across Hardin, Jefferson, and surrounding counties, with rainfall totals reaching 18–20 inches in spots.

Tropical Storm Edouard could strengthen before Texas-Louisiana landfall

Tropical Storm Edouard has formed in the Gulf and is tracking toward the Texas-Louisiana coast, with tropical-storm warnings and flood watches in effect as forecasters warn of heavy rain, gusty winds, and potential flooding. Forecasts indicate Edouard could make landfall along the northwest Gulf coast this week, bringing widespread rainfall across Southeast Texas and parts of Louisiana.

Edouard Aims at Texas-LA Coast; Rain Expected

A Gulf disturbance south of the Mississippi River coast is gradually organizing (Invest 97L/AL97) and could drift west toward Louisiana and the Texas coast, with a 30% chance of development and the potential to bring heavy rain, thunderstorms, and gusty winds to the northern Gulf and nearby landmasses over the next several days. Forecasters from multiple agencies stress that development remains uncertain but any system could produce impactful rainfall and coastal weather, and residents should monitor updates as the disturbance could become the next named storm.
