Tropical storm Edouard has moved inland this morning across Chambers county and based on the latest radar imagery looks to be located around the Anahuac area moving off to the west-northwest around 15mph. So far the main impacts have been the rain with doppler radar estimating a swath of 2-5 inches has fallen across central/eastern Harris, northern Galveston, and most of Chambers counties this morning. Moderate to heavy rain continues to wrap around the circulation on Edouard across most of metro Houston and this trend should continue through the early afternoon. A break in the heavier rain may occur later this afternoon before additional convection will be possible this evening as the eastern side of the storm arrives. Currently the KHGX radar shows some very deep thunderstorm activity occurring over the gulf moving towards southeast Texas where wind gusts to 60mph have been measured.
As far as the winds are concerned, with the shift in track, Houston and most of the H-Net sites have seen winds in the 20-30mph range with higher gusts, especially down at UHCC and UHWL. Look for winds to continue out of the north and northwest for the next several hours, before swinging around to the south and increasing as the circulation moves off to the northwest of the metro area.

Matt, Thanks for updates. Looks like we lost communications with UHWL around 10:00 AM.
