Here’s what we know about the storm and its projected path as it moves toward Texas.
Tropical Storm Edouard is strengthening as it moves toward the Texas-Louisiana border. A 10 a.m. update from the National Hurricane Center put Edouard around 30 miles south of Cameron, Louisiana, and 50 miles southeast of Port Arthur, Texas, with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph.
It was traveling northwest at around 8 mph, with a minimum central pressure of 1,000 millibars — which is slightly below normal. Warm Gulf waters could help Edouard intensify before reaching land this afternoon.
The storm is expected to move inland across Southeast Texas tonight, then weaken quickly and dissipate by Wednesday evening. Hurricane-force winds are possible from High Island, Texas, to Cameron, Louisiana.
