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, its influence is already shifting local conditions in Allen. The heaviest rainfall is expected to remain over Southeast Texas, meaning residents here should anticipate only a modest increase in precipitation chances rather than severe flooding.
This storm is also expected to break the recent run of extreme heat, offering a slight reprieve from the triple-digit temperatures that have dominated the region.
Current Conditions and Today's Outlook
It is currently Tuesday morning in Allen, with the air temperature at 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat index makes it feel like 96 degrees, with relative humidity at 56 percent and a dew point of 72 degrees. Winds are light at 5 mph, and the sky is clear.
Today, the high will reach near 100 degrees, with a low near 78 degrees. There is a 12 percent 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 104 degrees, so caution is advised during outdoor activities.
