The report lists solunar periods indicating peak fishing and hunting times from today through Sunday, with major and minor periods in the morning and evening. It also shows Barrow Trinity Bay tide highs and lows for today and upcoming days, plus an air quality note from AccuWeather.
The report describes farmers near Baytown coping with lingering rains from Hurricane Dolly and Edouard relief, noting a return to work by Thursday. Gas stations opened busy with customers on Monday, while I-10 floods caused 10 wrecks and road closures between exits 812 and 813. Anahuac alligators remain mostly in place as trash pickup schedules shift with the weather.
Baytown police described Edouard as a low key storm with two accidents on I 10 linked to heavy rain. A pickup truck rolled onto its side and a police vehicle stalled in a flooded road. Areas hit hardest were Kilgore East James Pruitt near William and Texas Ave. Crews cleared a fallen tree and a downed telephone pole.
Edouard caused major concerns in Chambers County with residents deciding whether to evacuate. Anahuac Mayor Guy R. Jackson reported most people stayed at home following authorities guidance, though he noted some opted to drive out or remain via other choices.
Emergency officials say about 40 calls came in overnight with activity down by Tuesday as the Edouard storm passed. Flooding affected streets citywide with 3 to 7 inches of rain, feeder roads collecting water and police increasing patrols. Officials urged residents to avoid driving through standing water and noted improved conditions by noon. The NWS warned of more rain later Tuesday night as Baytown prepared for possible lingering impacts.
Baytown resident Hilda C. Martinez notes the televised forecasts overhyped Edouard, initially feared as a hurricane. The storm weakened to a tropical system, prompting wakeful preparations and discussions on weather reporting accuracy.
