Edouard strengthens toward Texas landfall as Dolly's remnants soak Caribbean
Forecasts center on Potential Tropical Cyclone Five in the northern Gulf, prompting tropical storm warnings from Port Bolivar to the Vermilion/Cameron line and warnings of heavy rain and gusty winds toward Texas and Louisiana as Edouard could form and approach landfall near the state border with winds near 45 mph. Dolly's remnants are dissipating due to shear and land interaction, though heavy rain may still affect Hispaniola, Cuba and the Bahamas.

About Tropical Storm Edouard
The 2002 Atlantic hurricane season featured a then-record eight named storms forming in September. It was a near-average Atlantic hurricane season, producing fourteen tropical cyclones, of which twelve developed into named storms; four became hurricanes, and two attained major hurricane status. The season officially started on June 1, and ended on November 30, dates which conventionally limit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones develop in the Atlantic Ocean. While the season's first cyclone did not develop until July 14, activity quickly picked up: eight storms developed in the month of September. It ended early however, with no tropical storms forming after October 6, a rare occurrence caused partly by El Niño conditions.
