Tropical Update
Tropical Storm Edouard continues to strengthen as it approaches the Gulf Coast. On the forecast track, the center of Edouard is predicted to reach the Gulf Coast near the TX/LA border later today and move inland over southeast Texas tonight.
Data from the Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters indicate that maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast before Edouard makes landfall today, and the storm could approach hurricane strength. Rapid weakening is expected after the center moves inland.
