2 Sep
Summary
- Former Tropical Storm Edouard weakened, bringing heavy rain to Southeast Texas.
- Florida can expect periodic downpours through Labor Day weekend.
- Forecasters watch two tropical waves as hurricane season peaks.
Former Tropical Storm Edouard, having made landfall in Louisiana, has weakened as it moves into Texas. The storm continues to deliver gusty winds and significant rainfall, with totals expected to range from 4 to 8 inches in its path, and up to 12 inches in some areas. Southwest Louisiana anticipates 2 to 4 inches of rain.
Elsewhere, Florida residents are advised to expect intermittent heavy downpours extending through the Labor Day weekend. While former Tropical Storm Dolly has dissipated, its remnants are contributing to enhanced moisture across Florida and the eastern Gulf Coast. Forecasters are also watching an area in the northeastern Gulf and off the Southeast coast for potential tropical development between September 6-9.
As the Atlantic hurricane season nears its peak on September 10, forecasters are tracking two tropical waves. Governor Ron DeSantis has declared September as Florida Preparedness Month, urging residents to review disaster plans and restock emergency supplies.
