.DISCUSSION...
(Today through Monday)
Issued at 1234 AM CDT Tue Sep 1 2026
Tropical Storm Edouard is currently about 160NM Southeast of Lake
Charles tracking WNW at 6 MPH. This system will continue to
maintain Tropical Storm strength while tracking toward Southeast
Texas for a landfall near Sabine, TX by this afternoon. That
amount of time along with some dry air being entrained into the
center of circulation will limit chances for rapid
intensification. That being said, portions of the circulation
center could briefly intensify winds/gusts as it nears landfall.
Therefore a hurricane watch has been added to Jefferson county and
western Cameron Parish where the greatest wind threat will be. A
storm surge warning in now in effect from High Island to Cameron /
Vermilion Parish line. Peak surge appears to be confined between
High Island, TX and Cameron, LA. Similarly, the highest flooding
rainfall threat extends from the immediate coast along South
Central LA into interior Southeast TX. Edouard has maintained
convection over the northern semi-circle suggesting that periods
of moderate to heavy rainfall will occur through the remaining
overnight hours while increasing latitude north through this
afternoon or early evening. After landfall this afternoon,
Edouard will quickly weaken but likely expand rainfall impacts.
Lingering tropical moisture will then facilitate more showers and
thunderstorms into Wednesday. Tropical threats aside, much needed
rainfall will help stall the worsening drought across south
central Louisiana and interior Southeast TX while high
temperatures remain in the 80s to low 90s.
By Thursday an upper level trough deepens over the Western Gulf
leading to continued scattered showers and thunderstorms and lower
90s toward the coast. Meanwhile, central and northern portions of
Louisiana will recover temperatures into upper 90s. This upper level
trough will hang in the western Gulf through Monday and will lend
scattered moderate daily chances for rainfall across much of the
forecast area.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1234 AM CDT Tue Sep 1 2026
