DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 400 AM CDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Edouard was
located near latitude 29.0 North, longitude 92.8 West. Edouard is
moving toward the west-northwest near 8 mph (13 km/h). A
west-northwestward to northwestward motion is forecast during the
next day or two. On the forecast track, the center of Edouard is
forecast to reach the northwestern Gulf Coast within the warning
area later today and move inland over southeast Texas tonight.
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
Significant strengthening is forecast today and Edouard could
approach hurricane strength before it reaches the northwest Gulf
coast later today. Rapid weakening is expected after the center
moves inland.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km)
from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1005 mb (29.68 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Tropical Storm Edouard can be found in the
Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT5 and WMO
header WTNT45 KNHC.
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected to reach the coast
within the warning area later this morning. Hurricane conditions
are possible within the Hurricane Watch area later today.
STORM SURGE: The combination of storm surge and tide will cause
normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters
moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the
following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if
the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...
High Island, TX to Vermilion/Cameron Parish Line, LA...3-5 ft
Vermilion/Cameron Parish Line, LA to Morgan City, LA...1-3 ft
The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to
the right of the center. Surge-related flooding depends on the
relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary
greatly over short distances. For information specific to your
area, please see products issued by your local National Weather
Service forecast office.
For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation,
please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic,
available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at5.shtml?peakSurge.
RAINFALL: Edouard is expected to produce rainfall totals of 3 to 6
inches with maximum totals up to 9 inches for parts of the Upper
Texas Coast inland through east-central Texas, with potential for 2
to 4 inches in far southwest Louisiana. This rainfall is likely to
produce flash flooding, especially in low-lying and urban areas.
River flooding may also be possible.
For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with
Edouard, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total
Rainfall Graphic available at
hurricanes.gov/graphics_at5.shtml?rainqpf and the Flash Flood Risk
graphic at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at5.shtml?ero.

over parts of southwest Louisiana and southeast Texas.
