Tropical Storm Edouard is advancing toward the northwestern Gulf Coast, with warnings issued for areas in Texas and Louisiana.
As of 1:00 AM CDT on August 31, 2026, Edouard was located approximately 85 miles southeast of Cameron, Louisiana, moving west-northwest at 7 mph (11 km/h).

Impact & Risks

The primary risks include storm surge flooding, strong winds, and heavy rainfall. Coastal areas from High Island, TX, to Vermilion/Cameron Parish Line, LA, could experience storm surge of 3-5 feet, with localized flooding in low-lying areas. Rainfall totals of 3-6 inches, with isolated amounts up to 9 inches, are expected in parts of the Upper Texas Coast and east-central Texas, potentially causing flash flooding and river flooding. Tropical-storm-force winds extending up to 25 miles from the center may disrupt power and damage structures.
