Tropical Storm Edouard strengthens

FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills is tracking Tropical Storm Edouard and its impacts across parts of Texas and Louisiana. Edouard has been strengthening, with maximum sustained winds near 50 mph. Winds just south of the storm’s center have been reported closer to 65 mph. There is still a chance Edouard could strengthen further before making landfall later Tuesday. A hurricane watch is in effect from High Island, Texas, to Cameron, Louisiana, where hurricane-force winds are possible. However, because of the storm’s small size, overall impacts are expected to remain relatively limited. Heavy rainfall will likely be the biggest concern, with the potential for flash flooding across parts of Texas and Louisiana. Edouard is expected to weaken quickly after moving inland. The next name on the Atlantic hurricane season list is Fay. As we approach the peak of hurricane season on Sept. 10, the rest of the tropics remain relatively quiet.

Watching 2 areas of development in Gulf, Caribbean

Meteorologists are closely tracking two tropical disturbances—Invest 97L in the northern Gulf of Mexico and the remnants of former Tropical Storm Dolly in the Caribbean—for signs of organization over the coming days.

Dolly remnants, Gulf low being monitored

Two areas of interest are being monitored in the tropics. The first is a weak area of low pressure in the northern Gulf of Mexico. It has a 10% chance of tropical development over the next two days and a 20% chance over the next seven days. The remnants of what was Tropical Storm Dolly are also continuing to bring impacts to parts of the Caribbean. Heavy rain and strong winds are affecting areas including the Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The system is generally moving toward the Bahamas, where there is a low-end chance it could reorganize over the next several days. Forecasters give it a 10% chance of redeveloping into next week. Meanwhile, the weak low pressure system in the Gulf is drifting westward and is centered just off the coast of New Orleans, Louisiana. The system is expected to bring additional rounds of rain to parts of the Deep South as it meanders along the northern Gulf. The next name on the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season list is Edouard.

Two areas to watch

FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills explains how we have two areas we are watching, though the odds of tropical development are low. The remnants of Dolly are expected to bring heavy rain to places like Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Lesser Antilles.
