Tropical Storm Edouard made landfall on September 1, 2026, near Johnson Bayou, Louisiana, a small community on the northern Gulf Coast. The storm's maximum sustained winds reached 60 mph as it crossed the Texas-Louisiana border.
Johnson Bayou, located in Cameron Parish, has a significant history of enduring tropical weather. Past events include the devastating "Great Storm of 1886," Hurricane Audrey in 1957, Hurricane Rita in 2005, and Hurricanes Laura and Delta in 2020.
As of September 1, 2026, Tropical Storm Edouard was located approximately 30 miles west-southwest of Cameron, Louisiana. No watches or warnings associated with Edouard have been issued for Florida. However, Florida's Gulf Coast, particularly the Panhandle, may see indirect impacts such as rough surf and rip currents.
Heavy rainfall is anticipated along the Upper Texas coast, extending into east-central Texas and far Southwest Louisiana on September 1 and 2, 2026.
