- Conditions to deteriorate across portions of Deep East Texas as Tropical Storm Edouard moves inland across the Texas and Louisiana border. - Rain coverage to spread into east and northeast Texas as well as north Louisiana on Wednesday.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1101 AM CDT Tue Sep 1 2026

Tropical Storm Edouard on track to make landfall across the Sabine Pass near the Louisiana Texas border over the next couple of hours. The storm is forecast to move northeast through the afternoon allowing for conditions to quickly deteriorate across portions of Deep East Texas and west-central Louisiana through this evening. The center of circulation is forecast to move just west of Angelina county with wind speed values around 25 to 30 mph with gusts possibly as high as 45 mph near Lufkin overnight. Thus a Wind Advisory has been issued for Angelina and adjacent counties from this evening through early afternoon Wednesday.

Although Edouard is a weak and compact tropical system, its inland impacts will include a heavy rainfall and isolated tornado threat across east Texas into portions of west-central and northwest Louisiana. The tornado threat should wane through the early evening hours. However, the potential for periodic locally heavy rainfall could persist into the overnight hours.

The tropical system will gradually move northward and dissipate through late week maintaining decent rain chances across mainly east and northeast Texas each day.

With the remnants of Edouard lingering through the mid-term timeframe of this forecast cycle, temperatures across the region will be slightly cooler areawide. The exception would be highs in the upper 90s across south-central Arkansas and northeast Louisiana which are farther removed from the decaying tropical system. By late in the weekend however, upper-level ridging to rebuild across Oklahoma, allowing high temperatures to areawide to return to the upper 90s. /05/

AVIATION

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 1240 PM CDT Tue Sep 1 2026

VFR conditions prevail for all sites apart from VCTS at KLFK this afternoon. Most of the region will remain VFR with easterly to southerly winds increasing during the afternoon hours as Tropical Storm Edouard makes landfall. Outer rain bands will likely begin impacting sites tomorrow morning, but this is still dependent on the storm's track. Currently, VCSH are expected at KTYR, KGGG, and possibly KSHV at some point later in the period.

For KLFK, VCTS is prevailing as the outer reaches of the rain bands are already reaching into Deep East TX. Expect any of these showers to drop the visibility quickly. With the current track, winds are expected to reach up to at least 30 kts overnight tonight before beginning to weaken again as the storm tracks northwest. MVFR cigs will likely accompany the moisture return for the Deep East TX sites around daybreak tomorrow, lifting in areas not impacted directly by Edouard. /57/
