Edouard’s Rain Threat Lingers | Charleston News

Tropical Depression Edouard made landfall near Johnson Bayou, Louisiana, bringing heavy rain and flash flood warnings across eastern Texas as wind threats fade. Moving slowly north-northwest at 5 mph with 35 mph winds, it’s expected to weaken and dissipate by Wednesday night. Rain totals of 4–8 inches are forecast—with some spots hitting 12 inches—after parts of eastern Texas have already seen a foot of rain. Gusty winds may linger, and a slight tornado risk exists early Wednesday in southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana. While coastal alerts are down, flood watches remain active. Elsewhere, the tropics are quiet—with no new storms expected for seven days—despite hurricane season peaking on September 10. Edouard is the fifth named storm this year, none yet reaching hurricane strength, an unusual trend for this time of year.
