Tropical Storm Edouard Texas path <\/p>\n
What we know:<\/p>\n
The storm is expected to make landfall in southeastern Texas later Tuesday, but FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg says its intensity could fluctuate significantly before reaching the coast.<\/p>\n
The storm’s track is becoming increasingly clear, with Edouard expected to move into southeastern Texas later Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Hurricane watches have been issued for portions of the Texas and Louisiana coasts as the storm approaches.<\/p>\n
The latest forecast calls for Edouard to have maximum sustained winds of about 65 mph at landfall.<\/p>\n
Compact storm intensity shifts <\/p>\n
Dig deeper:<\/p>\n
While Edouard is expected to remain relatively small, its compact size could make its intensity more difficult to predict.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Small tropical systems with tight centers can experience rapid changes in strength, meaning Edouard could strengthen quickly before weakening just as quickly.<\/p>\n
Forecasters will continue monitoring the storm as it approaches the coast.<\/p>\n
Heavy rain and flooding impact <\/p>\n
Why you should care:<\/p>\n
Despite the possibility of changes in intensity, rainfall is expected to be Edouard’s biggest impact.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The storm could produce 3 to 6 inches of rain, with isolated totals approaching 9 inches.<\/p>\n
While Edouard could briefly pack a punch, the system is expected to be relatively short-lived after moving inland.<\/p>\n
