Local Impact of Tropical Storm Edouard
Tropical Storm Edouard is currently tracking toward the Texas-Louisiana border, with landfall expected today. While the system is forecast to turn west-northwest and weaken as it approaches Central Texas, it will bring a rising but modest chance of precipitation to The Colony.
It is important to note that the heaviest rainfall is expected over Southeast Texas, meaning local impacts will be limited to slight chances of showers and thunderstorms. This activity is also expected to break the recent run of 100-degree days, offering some relief from the intense heat that has persisted recently.
Current Conditions and Today's Outlook
As of this morning, the air temperature in The Colony is 88F, with a feels-like temperature of 90F. Relative humidity stands at 49%, and the dew point is 66F. Winds are light at 6 mph with gusts to 6 mph, and the sky is clear.
Today, the high will reach near 100F, with a low near 79F. There is a 12% chance of precipitation, with sunny conditions giving way to a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms later in the day. Heat index values may reach as high as 102F, so residents should continue to hydrate and limit midday exertion.
