Tropical Depression Five:
There is flood risk across Southeast Texas. Two factors that could determine how much rain falls when and where will be the speed and strength of what will likely become Edouard later tonight.
The likelihood is that the heaviest tropical downpours will fall closest to the center of the storm along its path. Generally these will be east of I-45 near when the system makes landfall. If it moves quicker, these tropical downpours will also move quickly and spread the rain out. However, if this system retains some of its strength and slows down after landfall, then there’s the possibility that more torrential rain could pile up even west of I-45.
So of these two scenarios, either one could happen. Or it could be a blend of both! The moral of the story is to show how dynamic of a situation this is. But no matter what, the flood risk is the main concern with the possibility for street flooding/flash flooding Tuesday and Wednesday.
