⚠️⚠️⚠️ TROPICAL STORM EDOUARD⚠️⚠️⚠️
Tropical storm Edouard has made landfall.
Rainfall Estimates
The National Weather Service in Houston/Galveston has a Flood Watch in effect for Chambers, Liberty, San Jacinto, Montgomery, Harris and Galveston counties from late tonight through Wednesday morning.
Widespread: 3 to 5 inches across the watch area
Locally higher: 6 to 9 inches
Isolated maximum: up to 10 to 15 inches in the heaviest bands
Peak rainfall rates: 3 to 4 inches per hour at times Edouard’s thickest band of showers and thunderstorms sits on the west side of the circulation — the side that sweeps across Southeast Texas once the center is inland. That puts Liberty County in the most likely corridor for the heaviest rain.
Wind will also be a factor here later tonight. Forecasters expect parts of Liberty County could see gusts of 40 to 45 mph around 10 p.m., strong enough to cause isolated power outages, particularly with saturated ground loosening tree roots.
What to expect across the county:
Rapid street and roadway flooding in Liberty, Dayton, Ames, Hardin and Cleveland
Rising water in ditches, creeks and tributaries feeding the Trinity River
Low-water crossings that can become dangerous within minutes
Scattered power outages late tonight as gusts peak
Residents in flood-prone neighborhoods should move vehicles to higher ground before the heaviest rain arrives, not after it starts.
