Storm Passes, Heat Remains
Tropical Storm Edouard is tracking toward the Texas-Louisiana border and is expected to make landfall today. However, the system is passing well to the south, meaning Gunter remains largely unaffected by significant rainfall. The storm is forecast to turn west-northwest and weaken as it approaches Central Texas, but the heaviest rain is expected over Southeast Texas.
For this area, the primary impact is a continuation of the recent heat, with the system expected to break the recent run of 100-degree days only later in the week.
