A Gulf disturbance organized into Tropical Depression Five and then Tropical Storm Edouard early this week, prompting tropical storm warnings for Texas and Louisiana. Forecasters warned it could approach hurricane strength as it moved toward the northwest Gulf Coast, with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott flagging flooding as the biggest threat. Edouard made landfall near Johnson Bayou, Louisiana, bringing heavy rain and strong winds that knocked out power to thousands before it was expected to rapidly weaken. The storm's approach and landfall were tracked closely by the National Hurricane Center over several days, with coverage evolving from its formation as a Gulf disturbance to its eventual landfall and weakening.
