Edouard made landfall Tuesday afternoon near Johnson Bayou, Louisiana, as a tropical storm.
The system is moving west-northwest at about 5 mph, a motion expected to continue until dissipation.
Maximum sustained winds are near 25 mph, with higher gusts.
Slow weakening to dissipation is forecast over the next 24 hours. The estimated minimum central pressure was 1,012 millibars, according to the NHC.
The main threat from Edouard’s remnants is rainfall and flooding.
Rainfall:
An additional 2 to 4 inches of rain was possible across northeast Texas on Thursday, according to the NHC. Total rainfall along Edouard’s path could reach 5 to 10 inches, with isolated maximum totals of up to 22 inches.
The NHC said additional rain could cause more flash flooding, particularly in low-lying and urban areas. Isolated moderate-to-major river flooding was also expected.
