TS Edouard - Watch Upgraded

SITUATION (2300CDT08032008)

?

TS Edouard Continues it's westerly track at 4-6 mph with sustained winds of

45-50kts. The NHC has upgraded the watch and warning status for the Upper Texas

Coast from a Tropical Storm Watch to a Hurricane Watch. This anticipates a

strengthening in wind speed to a Cat. 1 (Saffir-Simpson scale) Hurricane within

36 hours.

?

MY ANALYSIS

?

There is little change in the storm since my earlier report. There is some model

movement indicating a landfall near Freeport - Brazoria County. There should be

little difference in wind and rainfall for the HOU-GAL area. Tomorrow will be

significant in terms of strengthening and potential threat to life and property.

?

RECOMMENDATION

?

Continue preparations and monitoring of NWS and local EM reports. All

preparations should be completed by nightfall on Monday. Interests in West

Galveston Island and low-lying Galveston and Counties should follow

recommendations of their local EM officials for potential evacuation.

?

Be aware, be prepared, be safe.

Looks like it will hit below hurricane status. I was on the Gulf yesterday

and the water temperature was 86 degrees. With that, anything can happen

(water temp with Katrina was 88 degrees).
