- Tropical Depression Edouard is currently tracking across Deep East Texas and will continue to track north.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1227 AM CDT Wed Sep 2 2026

All eyes remain hyper-focused on what is now Tropical Depression Edouard. The center of circulation is currently located just southeast of Livingston, TX. We are seeing the northern rain bands reaching into portions of our area, mainly in Angelina, southern San Augustine and southern Sabine counties. Rain will continue to push northward through the rest of the overnight hours and into Wednesday morning as Edouard continues to push northward. Still thinking that the main impact from this system will be the potential for heavy rainfall across deep east Texas through Wednesday afternoon/evening, where we continue to advertise a Flood Watch. That being said, 00z models came in this evening showing some additional outer rain bands moving through portions of west and northwest Louisiana and adjacent Texas counties. As is always the case with storms on the right side of a tropical system, tornadoes are possible. While I think the threat for tornadoes is low, we will need to watch how these trends continue to evolve through the day. In addition, some gusty winds will be possible as this system continues to move through our region, although I don't think they will be as strong as previously suggested. For this reason, we have elected to let the Wind Advisory that was previously issued expire early.

Temperatures will be hot today and Thursday, but not hot enough to need any sort of heat related headlines at this time. However, as we move into the weekend, temperatures will gradually increase back into the upper 90s for the region, with heat indices reaching potentially dangerous levels again. After a pleasant start to August, September looks like it wants to get us all caught up on what we missed out on. Precipitation chances will be limited heading into the weekend and through next week, but they will not be zero. There will at least be a chance for afternoon convection each day through the weekend and into next week, with the best chances generally south of the I-20 corridor. /33/

AVIATION

(12Z TAFS) Issued at 659 AM CDT Wed Sep 2 2026

Low MVFR cigs have developed this morning near and to the E of the remnant center of TD Edouard, with diurnal heating expected to result in additional cig development across the Lower half of E TX along/S of I-20, much of N LA, and portions of Srn AR. The cigs should only be brief (if affecting the terminals at all) at MLU/ELD, but should linger through much of the morning at LFK/TYR/GGG/SHV before returning to VFR. Meanwhile, convection has begun to expand N into Deep E TX, and will persist at LFK through a better part of the day before the remnant center drifts farther NW into ECntrl TX. Isolated to scattered convection should also develop and shift NNW across portions of N LA/E TX, and have tempoed in SHRA mention with reduced vsbys/wind gusts to 25kts from mid morning to early afternoon. Additional convection may also affect these terminals later this afternoon as well, before diminishing by/shortly after sunset. Some lingering cu/AC with accompanying cirrus cigs should persist this evening, although scattered convection should remain ongoing across portions of ECntrl and Deep E TX, possibly affecting TYR/LFK. Low MVFR cigs should also redevelop over portions of E TX later this evening/overnight, spreading farther N and E into Wrn LA/extreme SW AR by/after 12Z Thursday. SE winds 8-13kts today, with occasional higher gusts to 25-30kts over E TX, will diminish to 3-7kts after 00Z. /15/

SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT
