DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 700 PM CDT (0000 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Edouard was
located near latitude 28.4 North, longitude 91.6 West. The 
storm is moving toward the west-northwest near 6 mph (9 km/h). A 
west-northwestward to northwestward motion is forecast during the 
next day or two. On the forecast track, the center of Edouard 
is predicted to reach the northwestern Gulf Coast within the 
warning area on Tuesday and move inland over southeast Texas on 
Tuesday night.
 
Recent radar and satellite data indicate that the maximum 
sustained winds have increased to near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher 
gusts. Additional strengthening is likely before the center reaches 
the northwest Gulf coast on Tuesday. 
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (40 km) 
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1010 mb (29.83 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Tropical Storm Edouard can be found in the
Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT5 and WMO
header WTNT45 KNHC.
 
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected to reach the coast
within the warning area by Tuesday morning, making outside
preparations difficult or dangerous.
 
STORM SURGE: The combination of storm surge and tide will cause
normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters
moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the
following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if
the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...
 
High Island, TX to Vermilion/Cameron Parish Line, LA...2-4 ft
Vermilion/Cameron Parish Line, LA to Morgan City, LA...1-3 ft
 
The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to
the right of the center. Surge-related flooding depends on the
relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary
greatly over short distances. For information specific to your
area, please see products issued by your local National Weather
Service forecast office.
 
For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation,
please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic,
available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at5.shtml?peakSurge.
 
RAINFALL: Edouard is expected to produce rainfall totals of 3 to 6 
inches with maximum totals of 9 inches for parts of the Upper Texas 
Coast inland through east-central Texas, with potential for 2 to 3 
inches in far Southwest Louisiana. This rainfall is likely to 
produce flash flooding, especially in low-lying and urban areas. 
River flooding may also be possible.
 
For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with 
Edouard, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total 
Rainfall Graphic available at 
hurricanes.gov/graphics_at5.shtml?rainqpf and the Flash Flood Risk 
graphic at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at5.shtml?ero.
