Houston, TX, September 2, 2026 —
Tropical Storm Edouard has weakened to a tropical depression but continues to affect southeast Texas on Wednesday, bringing a significant threat of heavy rainfall and potential localized flooding. The storm’s center is currently impacting the region.
Although Edouard has transitioned from a tropical storm to a tropical depression following its landfall in Louisiana, its lingering moisture is expected to produce additional bands of heavy rain across southeast Texas. This rainfall could lead to localized flooding in areas that have already seen considerable precipitation.
Residents in southeast Texas are advised to be aware of the ongoing flood threat. The storm system is also associated with winds of 20 to 30 miles per hour, with gusts potentially reaching up to 45 miles per hour near the storm’s center. A wind advisory is in effect for the region.
The National Weather Service has indicated that the storm’s moisture can still generate new rain bands, exacerbating existing rainfall totals and increasing the risk of flash flooding in vulnerable areas. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely as the weather system moves through the area.
