Rainfall was recorded in various parts of Texas and Louisiana on Tuesday as Tropical Storm Edouard moved toward the Gulf Coast, posing a latent flood risk, given that it was expected to intensify considerably and even reach hurricane status, according to a warning from the National Hurricane Center.

La precipitación se registró en diversas zonas de Texas y Luisiana el martes, mientras la tormenta tropical Edouard avanzaba hacia la costa del Golfo, planteando un riesgo latente de inundaciones, dado que se preveía que se intensificara de manera considerable y que incluso alcanzara la categoría de huracán, según advirtió el Centro Nacional de Huracanes.

Meteorologists anticipated that the storm would make landfall in Texas later on Tuesday, only to weaken rapidly thereafter.

Los meteorólogos anticipaban que la tormenta tocaría tierra en Texas más tarde el martes para, acto seguido, debilitarse con celeridad.

Meanwhile, several atmospheric disturbances were brewing in the Pacific Ocean, including Lowell, which reached hurricane status on Tuesday morning.

Entretanto, varias perturbaciones atmosféricas se estaban gestando en el océano Pacífico, entre ellas Lowell, que alcanzó la categoría de huracán en la mañana del martes.

On Tuesday morning, Tropical Storm Edouard was located approximately 30 miles (48 kilometers) south of Cameron, Louisiana, and 50 miles (80 kilometers) southeast of Port Arthur, Texas, with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (80 kph) as it moved northwestward at 8 mph (13 kph).

En la mañana del martes, la tormenta tropical Edouard se hallaba aproximadamente a 30 millas (48 kilómetros) al sur de Cameron, Luisiana, y a 50 millas (80 kilómetros) al sureste de Port Arthur, Texas, registrando vientos máximos sostenidos de 50 mph (80 kph) mientras avanzaba en dirección noroeste a 8 mph (13 kph).

The National Hurricane Center forecast that Edouard would unleash between 3 and 6 inches (8 to 15 centimeters) of rainfall along the Texas coast and across central-eastern Texas, although some areas could see up to 9 inches (23 centimeters).

El Centro Nacional de Huracanes pronosticó que Edouard descargaría entre 3 y 6 pulgadas (8 a 15 centímetros) de precipitación a lo largo del litoral texano y a través del centro-este de Texas, si bien algunas zonas podrían registrar hasta 9 pulgadas (23 centímetros).

In southwestern Louisiana, accumulations of lesser magnitude were anticipated.

En el suroeste de Luisiana se anticipaban acumulaciones de menor magnitud.

The hurricane center warned that flash flooding was highly likely in low-lying areas and urban centers.

El centro de huracanes advirtió que era altamente probable que se produjeran inundaciones repentinas en las zonas bajas y en los núcleos urbanos.

The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, warned that the main challenge anticipated as a result of the storm lies in the flooding.

El gobernador de Texas, Greg Abbott, advirtió que el principal desafío que se prevé a raíz de la tormenta reside en las inundaciones.

"This is our first major storm of the season, and I assure you that Texas is fully prepared," stated Orlando Alanis, from the Texas Division of Emergency Management, during a press conference.

«Esta es nuestra primera gran tormenta de la temporada, y les aseguro que Texas se halla plenamente preparado», declaró Orlando Alanis, de la División de Manejo de Emergencias de Texas, durante una rueda de prensa.

Crews worked diligently on Monday to remove dry vegetation, which could easily ignite from a lightning strike and trigger fast-spreading wildfires, Abbott noted.

Los equipos se afanaron el lunes en la retirada de la vegetación seca, susceptible de inflamarse por la caída de un rayo y desencadenar incendios de rápida propagación, señaló Abbott.

The National Hurricane Center warned that a storm surge of between 3 and 5 feet (1 to 1.5 meters) was plausible along a stretch of coastline near the Texas-Louisiana border.

El Centro Nacional de Huracanes advirtió que una marejada ciclónica de entre 3 y 5 pies (1 a 1.5 metros) resultaba factible a lo largo de un tramo del litoral próximo a la frontera entre Texas y Luisiana.

Meanwhile, the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly brought rainfall and thunderstorms to various parts of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, as well as to the Turks and Caicos Islands and the Bahamas, according to the hurricane center.

Mientras tanto, los remanentes de la tormenta tropical Dolly ocasionaron precipitaciones y tormentas eléctricas en diversas zonas de Haití y la República Dominicana, así como en las Islas Turcas y Caicos y las Bahamas, según informó el centro de huracanes.

Hurricane Lowell, which had recently formed in the Pacific Ocean, was located approximately 575 miles (925 kilometers) southeast of Hilo, Hawaii, on Tuesday morning.

El huracán Lowell, cuya formación tuvo lugar recientemente en el Océano Pacífico, se hallaba situado a unas 575 millas (925 kilómetros) al sureste de Hilo, Hawái, en la mañana del martes.

The storm's maximum sustained winds had increased to 80 mph (130 kph).

Los vientos máximos sostenidos de la tormenta habían ascendido hasta 80 mph (130 kph).

Forecasters indicated that swells generated by Lowell are likely to affect various parts of Hawaii starting Wednesday.

Los pronosticadores señalaron que es probable que el oleaje generado por Lowell incida en diversas zonas de Hawái a partir del miércoles.

The meteorological center reported that tropical storm Marie originated in the Pacific Ocean during the early hours of Tuesday, in deep waters southwest of Mexico, without posing an imminent threat to land.

El centro meteorológico informó que la tormenta tropical Marie se gestó en el Océano Pacífico durante las primeras horas del martes, en aguas profundas al suroeste de México, sin representar una amenaza inminente para tierra firme.

The system was located approximately 400 miles (643 kilometers) southwest of Manzanillo, with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (72 kph), and was moving in a northwestward direction.

El sistema se localizaba aproximadamente a 400 millas (643 kilómetros) al suroeste de Manzanillo, con vientos máximos sostenidos de 45 mph (72 kph), y avanzaba en dirección noroeste.

Forecasters noted that Marie was undergoing gradual strengthening, and its intensification into a hurricane was anticipated by Wednesday night.

Los pronosticadores señalaron que Marie experimentaba un fortalecimiento gradual y se anticipaba su intensificación a huracán para la noche del miércoles.

Elsewhere in the Pacific, Karina became a hurricane on Sunday, driven by warm waters far from any coastline.

En otro punto del Pacífico, Karina se convirtió en huracán el domingo, impulsada por aguas cálidas lejos de cualquier costa.

On Monday it strengthened to Category 4, but forecasters said on Tuesday that it was expected to weaken.

El lunes se fortaleció hasta alcanzar la categoría 4, pero los pronosticadores dijeron el martes que se esperaba que se debilitara.

According to them, the storm, whose center was located 1,280 miles (2,059 kilometers) west-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula in Mexico, had maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (222 kph), although it posed no threat to land.

Según ellos, la tormenta, cuyo centro se ubicaba a 1,280 millas (2,059 kilómetros) al oeste-suroeste del extremo sur de la península de Baja California, en México, presentaba vientos máximos sostenidos de 140 mph (222 kph), aunque no representaba amenaza para tierra firme.

The historical account has been amended to clarify that Dolly was classified as a tropical storm, rather than a hurricane.
