Tropical Storm Edouard is set to make landfall Tuesday, most likely on the Upper Texas coast. It should move west-northwest on the south side of an low-mid level ridge over the Southern Plains. Any deviation to the north of the forecast track could bring the center over southwest Louisiana. Additional strengthening could occur before landfall, meaning the storm will be near hurricane strength. A Hurricane Watch is in effect from west of Intracoastal City, LA to Port O'Connor, TX. The storm is expected to produce rainfall of 3-5 inches over southwest Louisiana, and 4-6 inches over southeastern Texas (with locally higher amounts up to 10 inches). Isolated tornadoes are possible over southern Louisiana and the Upper Texas coast.
