Tropical Storm Edouard expected to become hurricane before Texas landfall: Check map, flood watches and warnings

Tropical Storm Edouard is forecast to intensify into a hurricane before making landfall in Texas. The National Hurricane Center warns of heavy rainfall and potential flooding, particularly in the Houston area. Coastal regions may face storm surges of up to 5 feet, along with strong winds reaching 74 mph. A hurricane watch is in effect along a stretch of the Texas-Louisiana coast, while a flood watch covers southeast Texas, including Houston.

The storm is expected to make landfall near eastern Texas on Tuesday evening and dissipate by early Thursday. The primary concern is the heavy rainfall, which could cause flash flooding, especially in the Houston metropolitan region.
