EDOUARD PRODUCING SIGNIFICANT FLASH FLOODING ACROSS EAST TEXAS

According to the NHC advisory number 9

The depression is moving toward the north-northwest near 5 mph (7 km/h) and this motion is expected to continue over the next 12 to 18 hours. Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. Gradual weakening of Edouard is expected over the next 12 to 18 hours. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1004 mb (29.65 inches).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

WIND: Wind gusts of 35 to 45 mph may continue near the center of Edouard for the next several hours.

RAINFALL: Total rainfall along the path of Edouard is expected to range from 5 to 10 inches, with maximum totals up to 20 inches for inland areas away from the Upper Texas Coast through east-central Texas. This rainfall is likely to produce flash flooding, especially in low-lying and urban areas. Significant flash flooding is increasingly likely over the Piney Woods area of southeast Texas. River flooding may also be possible.

Across Southwest Louisiana, total rainfall from Edouard will range from 2 to 4 inches.
