NOAA August 7th Hurricane Forecast Update
8/9/2008 3:22:00 PM
NOAA’s 2008 Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook update indicates an 85% probability of an above-normal hurricane season, a 10% chance of a near-normal season, and a 5% chance of a below-normal season. See NOAA definitions of above-, near-, and below-normal seasons. The Atlantic hurricane region includes the North Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. The conducive atmospheric and oceanic conditions predicted in our May outlook are now in place over the tropical Atlantic. These conditions, combined with strong early-season activity, yield increased confidence that the 2008 season will be above normal. We expect 2008 to be the tenth above-normal season since the current active hurricane era began in 1995. Although seasons with similar conditions to those now in place and seasons with similar early-season activity have generally been above-normal, they have featured a wide range of activity. Allowing for uncertainties, we estimate a 67% probability for each of the following seasonal (June-November) ranges, all of which are above average: 14-18 named storms, 7-10 Hurricanes, 3-6 Major Hurricanes, An ACE range 140%-230% of the median .... more

8/3/2008 10:48:00 PM
At 8:00 a.m. EDT on August 5, Tropical Storm Edouard made landfall on the upper Texas coast about halfway between High Island and Sabine Pass.

As of 5:00 a.m. EDT August 6, Edouard had weakened to a Tropical Depression (TD), and was located 30 miles west-northwest of Waco, TX and 30 miles north of College Station, TX moving toward the northwest near 15 mph. Maximum sustained winds were near 10 mph. The potential for flooding rains will extend primarily over southwest Louisiana and central and southeast Texas. Also, isolated tornadoes may occur in this area as the center of Edouard takes a more northwesterly track. Approximately 14,000 customers were without power in southeast Texas as of 7:00 p.m. EDT Tuesday - down from a peak of over 30,000 customers without power. All power in Louisiana has been restored from a peak of 1,552 customers without power. The Texas State Operations Center (SOC) released its ESFs, but continues to monitor the possibility of flash flooding. The Louisiana State Emergency Operations Center has closed operations. .....
