Tropical Storm Edouard is crawling west-northwest at about 5 mph toward the Southeast Texas coast, with offshore buoys showing winds around 5-15 mph—far from tropical-storm strength. Forecasters say it could organize further overnight, and a narrow band of heavy rainfall (up to 10 inches in spots) is possible from northwest of Houston to the coast, prompting ongoing monitoring and potential school closures.
Multiple Houston-area districts canceled Tuesday classes and activities in anticipation of tropical weather (including Tropical Storm Edouard), with closures spanning Crosby ISD, Galena Park ISD, Channelview ISD, Anahuac ISD, Humble ISD, Tarkington ISD, Sheldon ISD, Goose Creek CISD, Galveston ISD Crenshaw School of Environmental Studies, Dayton ISD, Huffman ISD, and more; districts will monitor conditions and issue updates through official channels.
The National Hurricane Center says Dolly’s remnants could bring locally heavy rain and gusty winds to parts of Florida later this week, while a developing system in the Gulf—Potential Tropical Cyclone 5—could become Tropical Storm Edouard and threaten the Louisiana/Texas coast. Florida faces a marginal risk for excessive rainfall Thursday, with rainfall totals potentially reaching 4 inches in spots and an elevated rip current risk at beaches as swell from Dolly’s remnants arrives.
