Texas Flooded as Edouard Weakens, Tropics Quiet
3 Sep
Summary
- Edouard is bringing heavy rain and flooding to Texas.
- The Atlantic tropics remain unusually quiet despite the peak season.
- Florida can expect periodic downpours through the Labor Day weekend.
Former Tropical Storm Edouard is continuing to weaken, but it is still bringing substantial heavy rain and flooding to various parts of Texas as of September 3rd. Some regions in Texas could experience as much as 22 inches of rainfall. Elsewhere, the Atlantic tropics are remarkably quiet, which is atypical for this active period of the hurricane season.
Florida can anticipate intermittent downpours this week and extending into the Labor Day weekend. The National Hurricane Center is monitoring three tropical waves in the Atlantic basin, with one approaching the Caribbean. The peak of the Atlantic hurricane season is historically around September 10th. Florida's governor has proclaimed September as Preparedness Month, urging residents to review disaster plans and emergency supplies.
