    Tropical Storm Edouard Discussion Number 6
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052026
    400 PM CDT Tue Sep 01 2026

    Edouard continued to strengthen through its landfall as a 50-kt
    tropical storm in southwestern Cameron Parish, Louisiana, at 1920
    UTC. Current radar data shows convective bands with heavy rainfall
    and gusty winds spreading over portions of southeastern Texas on the
    west side of the storm. Based on the latest surface observations, it
    appears a little weakening has occurred since landfall, and the
    initial intensity is lowered slightly to 45 kt. A Tropical Storm
    Warning remains in effect for portions of the Upper Texas coast and southwestern Louisiana.

    Edouard is moving toward the northwest (305/7 kt) and will remain on
    this heading through early Wednesday, bringing the center farther
    inland over eastern Texas. No notable changes were made to the NHC
    track forecast. Quick weakening is expected now that the center is
    inland, and Edouard is likely to become a tropical depression
    tonight and dissipate by Wednesday night. Even though the system is
    inland, the threat of heavy rainfall and flash flooding will
    continue through the overnight hours.


    Key Messages:

    1. Tropical storm conditions associated with Edouard will continue
    along the Upper Texas and extreme southwestern Louisiana coasts
    within the warning area through this evening.

    2. Heavy rain will impact parts of the Upper Texas coast through
    east-central Texas into far Southwest Louisiana through Thursday
    morning as Edouard tracks inland. Flash flooding is likely across
    this region, especially in urban areas. Significant flash flooding
    is possible. River flooding may also be possible.

    3. Minor coastal flooding is still possible along the Upper Texas
    and southwestern Louisiana coasts through this evening.
