The primary risks associated with Tropical Depression Edouard include flash flooding in low-lying and urban areas, as well as potential river flooding in affected regions. Wind gusts near tropical-storm force may persist close to the storm's center for several hours. Additionally, there is a slight risk of brief tornadoes in parts of Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana. Rainfall in Southwest Louisiana is expected to range from 2 to 4 inches, which could also lead to localized flooding.
