Invest 97L Could Become Storm Edouard | Lubbock News

A brewing storm system in the Gulf, dubbed Invest 97L, could strengthen into Tropical Storm Edouard before hitting the coast—bringing heavy rain, gusty winds, and possible flooding from Florida to Texas. Forecasters say it’s likely to become a tropical depression or storm by late tonight or early tomorrow, with watches or warnings expected later today. Areas from Houston to New Orleans and even Tampa should brace for locally heavy rainfall, with totals up to 12 inches possible. Even if it fizzles out, this moisture will fuel storms far inland. Stay alert—this system has a 70% chance of developing and could impact your region soon. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
