edouard.jpgTropical Storm Edouard continues to move inland after coming ashore Tuesday morning on the upper Texas coastline. The storm whirled out of the Gulf of Mexico, making landfall east of Galveston and west of the Louisiana border, between High Island and Sabine Pass.

At last report, the National Hurricane Center said the storm was moving slowly across the Lone Star State to the east of Houston on a path toward central Texas. Rainfall from the storm was expected to be in the range of three to five inches, with isolated downpours in some locations as high as 10 inches over portions of southeastern Texas.

Edouard’s winds have died down to near 50 miles per hour with higher gusts. The storm is expected to become a tropical depression by early Wednesday.

A tropical storm warning remains in effect from Cameron, Louisiana to San Luis Pass, Texas.
