KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1227 AM CDT Wed Sep 2 2026

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

- Rain chances will remain for all of our Deep East Texas counties, gradually shifting northward through the day.

- We will remain below Heat Advisory criteria for Wednesday and Thursday, with hotter temperatures heading into the weekend.

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

(06Z TAFS) Issued at 1227 AM CDT Wed Sep 2 2026

VFR conditions will continue through much of the overnight hours, although the center of TD Edouard about 40NM S of LFK will continue to result in wrap-around MVFR cigs across Deep E TX, with the associated wrap-around SHRA expected to persist across LFK through the overnight and much of the daylight morning hours. Thus, cigs should continue to lower to low MVFR here through daybreak, with additional MVFR cigs developing shortly afterwards farther N towards the I-20 corridor affecting the TYR/GGG/SHV terminals, before eventually lifting and returning to VFR by late morning/midday. However, convection should begin to expand around Edouard's center as it drifts NW into ECntrl TX, with scattered convection expected to affect the TYR/GGG and possibly SHV terminals from late morning through the afternoon. Brief MVFR cigs and locally gusty winds to 30kts will be possible in the convection before diminishing and consolidating closer to the center by/shortly after 00Z Thursday. Isolated convection can't be ruled out elsewhere across NCntrl LA/Srn AR as a scattered cu field and developing AC develop, but low confidence precludes any thunder mention at the remaining terminals attm. Scattered convection may linger though at TYR/LFK, where MVFR cigs should redevelop during the evening. Light SSE winds overnight, except SE 10-15kts with gusts to 25kts at LFK, will become SE and increase to 8-13kts, with occasional higher gusts to 25-30kts over E TX. /15/

SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT

Issued at 1227 AM CDT Wed Sep 2 2026

Spotter activation may be needed this morning across portions of Deep East Texas as the remnants of Edouard continue to move through this area.
