What's happening now
Edouard ended as a tropical depression over Crockett, Texas, moving north-west at 14 km/h in its final reading. The final centre position was 31.3, -95.3, with winds of 56 km/h, gusts of 64 km/h and pressure of 1,004 mb. Edouard had weakened from a tropical storm before leaving the feed. The storm's strongest recorded winds were 93 km/h on September 1 at 18:00 UTC, when pressure was 998 mb and the centre was 65 km south-east of Beaumont, Texas, over the Gulf of Mexico. The last two readings kept the wind at 56 km/h and pressure at 1,004 mb as Edouard moved from 34 km north-north-east of Cleveland, Texas, to over Crockett, Texas.

How Edouard developed
August 28 — First reading as a tropical depression
Edouard’s first reading places the tropical depression 141 km south-south-east of Mobile, Alabama, USA, in the Gulf of Mexico. Sustained winds were 37 km/h, gusts were 43 km/h and pressure was 1,015 mb. The system was stationary at that reading.
August 31 — Winds strengthen within the depression stage
By August 31, Edouard’s winds had risen to 56 km/h, with gusts of 64 km/h. Pressure remained near 1,012 mb. The system moved west and south-west early in the day before turning towards the north-west by the evening reading.
September 1 — Edouard becomes a tropical storm
Edouard reached tropical-storm strength at 00:00 UTC, with winds of 65 km/h, gusts of 75 km/h and pressure of 1,008 mb. The reading placed Edouard 228 km south-west of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, moving north-west at 11 km/h.
September 1 — Strongest recorded winds
Edouard’s strongest recorded reading came at 18:00 UTC near Beaumont, Texas. Winds reached 93 km/h, gusts reached 107 km/h and pressure fell to 998 mb. Edouard was 65 km south-east of Beaumont, moving north-west at 12 km/h.
September 2 — Weakens to a tropical depression
At 06:00 UTC, Edouard was classified as a tropical depression 34 km north-north-east of Cleveland, Texas. Winds were 56 km/h, gusts were 64 km/h and pressure had risen to 1,004 mb. The system was moving north-west at 13 km/h.
How Edouard is behaving
Edouard’s readings show a pressure fall from 1,015 mb at formation to 998 mb at its strongest recorded point. Lower central pressure accompanied an increase in sustained wind from 37 km/h to 93 km/h, indicating a period of intensification. After the peak, pressure rose to 1,004 mb while sustained wind fell to 56 km/h and the classification returned to tropical depression. In meteorology, intensification means a rise in a system’s measured wind strength; weakening means a decline.
Edouard’s movement was slow and variable during its first days. The system initially moved south, west and south-west, including a maximum recorded speed of 15 km/h on August 30. Direction shifted northward and then north-westward on August 31 and September 1. The final readings show a steadier north-west motion between 13 km/h and 14 km/h. The available readings do not include measurements of wind shear, moisture or sea surface temperature, so they cannot establish the causes of the changes.
How to track Edouard
Turn on the tropical storm tracks layer in the RainViewer app to follow Edouard’s recorded positions. Each point marks the storm’s location and category at that reading: cyan means tropical depression, blue means tropical storm, yellow means category 1, amber means category 2, orange means category 3, red means category 4 and dark red means category 5. Edouard’s recorded points show its change from depression to tropical storm and back to depression.
Use the timestamps, wind speeds, pressure readings and movement values alongside the track points to follow Edouard’s observed development. The latest point is over Crockett, Texas, and records a tropical depression moving north-west at 14 km/h. RainViewer shows the observation history; it does not provide official warnings.

Storm FAQ
Why are tropical cyclones given names?
Tropical cyclones receive names so people and weather services can distinguish one system from another in forecasts, records and public communications. Edouard is the name assigned to this North Atlantic storm.
What is the difference between Edouard’s wind speed and gusts?
Wind speed describes the storm’s sustained wind measurement, while gusts describe short-lived stronger bursts. Edouard’s latest reading lists 56 km/h sustained wind and gusts of 64 km/h.
What does the pressure number mean in a tropical cyclone reading?
The pressure number is the storm’s central atmospheric pressure, reported in millibars. Edouard’s readings range from 1,015 mb at the first observation to 998 mb at its strongest recorded reading, then rise to 1,004 mb in the latest observation.
Does RainViewer show official warnings for Edouard?
No. The available RainViewer storm page data records Edouard’s position, classification, wind, pressure and movement, but it does not provide official warnings. Check the national weather service for official warnings.
