Severe weather is affecting parts of the country, from flooding in Texas to storm risks stretching to the Mid-Atlantic. Edouard, now a tropical depression, is bringing flooding and power outages to Texas after making landfall1.
The system will continue to bring gusty winds, heavy rainfall, and a flash flood threat over parts of eastern Texas2. The highest rain chances and rainfall totals are expected in Central and East Texas and the Brazos Valley, where isolated flash flooding is possible2.
Severe weather watches and warnings spread east
Severe thunderstorms and heavy rain are possible across portions of the eastern Great Lakes to the Mid-Atlantic overnight2. Severe storms are also expected across parts of Montana2.
Dangerous heat is persisting over the central and eastern states through Friday night2. Farther south, severe thunderstorms and heavy rain are also possible today across the eastern Great Lakes to Mid-Atlantic region, with severe storms expected across the northern Rockies as well8.
Edouard is expected to dissipate over Texas4.
Florida faces its own storm and heat risks
Scattered to numerous showers and storms are expected across the Florida peninsula again, with a few storms capable of turning locally strong to severe4. Those storms could bring torrential downpours, frequent lightning, and gusty winds4.
A Marginal Risk, the lowest of four levels, has been outlooked for flash flooding throughout the peninsula and along the Forgotten Coast, the stretch of Florida's Gulf coastline between Franklin and Wakulla counties4.
- Seasonable heat is expected, with highs in the 90s and feels-like temperatures reaching the upper 90s to middle 100s4
- A High Risk for rip currents is in place for the First Coast and Space Coast, with a Moderate Risk for the Treasure Coast and Panhandle4
- Isolated storms are also expected across the Panhandle4
A strong upper-level ridge of high pressure remains anchored over the central Appalachians, with moist east to southeast flow persisting across Florida4. No tropical cyclone development is expected in the Atlantic over the next seven days4.
Where to track active alerts
Current severe weather warnings, watches and advisories across the United States are being tracked and updated every five minutes on an interactive national alerts map5.
Forecasters are also tracking additional storm chances tonight and Thursday, with hot conditions and low storm chances expected Friday as Edouard's remnants move through2.
The National Weather Service, or NWS, the federal agency that issues local forecasts and severe weather alerts, is also watching for a flash flood threat as the system moves inland2.
What to watch next
The flash flood threat tied to Edouard's remnants remains the most immediate concern for eastern Texas and the Brazos Valley2. Severe thunderstorm risk will shift toward the eastern Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic overnight, alongside separate storm threats in Montana and the northern Rockies2,8.
Dangerous heat is expected to persist across the central and eastern states through Friday night before any relief arrives2. Florida's mix of heat, rip currents, and afternoon storms is expected to continue as the ridge of high pressure holds over the Appalachians4.
