Precipitation lashed various parts of Texas and Louisiana on Tuesday as Tropical Storm Edouard advanced toward the Gulf Coast, raising the specter of flooding, given that its considerable intensification was anticipated, potentially reaching hurricane status, according to a warning issued by the National Hurricane Center.

Las precipitaciones se abatieron sobre diversas zonas de Texas y Luisiana el martes, en tanto la tormenta tropical Edouard avanzaba hacia el litoral del Golfo, suscitando la eventualidad de inundaciones, dado que se preveía su intensificación considerable hasta alcanzar, posiblemente, la categoría de huracán, según advirtió el Centro Nacional de Huracanes.

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

Los meteorólogos auguraban que la tormenta tocaría tierra en Texas a última hora del martes para, acto seguido, debilitarse con celeridad.

Meanwhile, several atmospheric disturbances were brewing in the Pacific Ocean, among them Lowell, which attained 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 situated 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 a speed of 8 mph (13 kph).

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

The National Hurricane Center forecast that Edouard would unleash between 3 and 6 inches (8 to 15 centimeters) of precipitation along the Texan coastline and across the east-central region of Texas, although some areas could record up to 9 inches (23 centimeters).

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

It was anticipated that southwestern Louisiana would experience accumulations of lesser magnitude.

Se anticipaba que el suroeste de Luisiana experimentara acumulaciones de menor magnitud.

It is highly probable that flash floods would be unleashed in topographically depressed areas and in urban conglomerations, as the hurricane center warned.

Es harto probable que se desencadenaran inundaciones repentinas en las zonas topográficamente deprimidas y en los conglomerados urbanos, según advirtió el centro de huracanes.

The Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, asserted that the principal impediment looming in the wake of the storm is constituted by the floods.

El gobernador de Texas, Greg Abbott, aseveró que el principal escollo que se vislumbra a raíz de la tormenta lo constituyen las inundaciones.

"This constitutes the first major storm of the season, and I assure you that Texas is in optimal condition to confront it," declared Orlando Alanis of the Texas Division of Emergency Management during a press conference.

Esta constituye la primera gran tormenta de la temporada, y les aseguro que Texas se halla en óptimas condiciones de afrontarla”, declaró Orlando Alanis, de la División de Manejo de Emergencias de Texas, durante una conferencia de prensa.

On Monday, crews marshaled their efforts to eradicate desiccated vegetation, the combustion of which could be ignited by a lightning strike and precipitate conflagrations of meteoric spread, Abbott asserted.

Los equipos desplegaron sus esfuerzos el lunes para erradicar la vegetación seca, cuya combustión podría ser provocada por un rayo y desencadenar incendios de propagación fulminante, aseveró Abbott.

The hurricane center indicated that a storm surge of between 3 and 5 feet (1 to 1.5 meters) was deemed plausible along a stretch of coastline adjacent to the Texas-Louisiana border.

El centro de huracanes señaló que una marejada ciclónica de entre 3 y 5 pies (1 a 1.5 metros) resultaba plausible a lo largo de un tramo del litoral circundante a la frontera entre Texas y Luisiana.

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

Mientras tanto, los remanentes de la tormenta tropical Dolly trajeron lluvia y tormentas eléctricas a partes de Haití y República Dominicana, las Islas Turcas y Caicos, y las Bahamas, dijo el centro de huracanes.

Hurricane Lowell, whose genesis occurred recently in the Pacific Ocean, was situated approximately 575 miles (925 kilometers) southeast of Hilo, Hawaii, on Tuesday morning.

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

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

Los vientos máximos sostenidos del meteoro habían escalado hasta 80 mph (130 kph).

Forecasters cautioned that it is plausible that the swell generated by Lowell will impact various areas of Hawaii starting Wednesday.

Los pronosticadores advirtieron que es plausible que el oleaje generado por Lowell incida sobre diversas zonas de Hawái a partir del miércoles.

Tropical Storm Marie materialized in the abyssal waters of the Pacific Ocean at the break of dawn on Tuesday, southwest of Mexico, without posing an imminent threat to land, as reported by the meteorological center.

La tormenta tropical Marie se gestó en el Océano Pacífico al filo del amanecer del martes, en aguas abisales, al suroeste de México, sin que ello supusiera una amenaza inminente para tierra firme, según informó el centro meteorológico.

The system was situated approximately 400 miles (643 kilometers) southwest of Manzanillo, with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (72 kph), and its trajectory was directed northwestward.

El sistema se hallaba a aproximadamente 400 millas (643 kilómetros) al suroeste de Manzanillo, con vientos máximos sostenidos de 45 mph (72 kph), y su desplazamiento se orientaba hacia el noroeste.

Forecasters cautioned that Marie was undergoing progressive intensification and that, should the trend persist, it would attain hurricane status by Wednesday night.

Los pronosticadores advirtieron que Marie experimentaba un fortalecimiento progresivo y que, de mantenerse la tendencia, alcanzaría la categoría de huracán para la noche del miércoles.

Elsewhere in the vast Pacific, Karina consolidated into a hurricane on Sunday, nourished by thermally warm waters in the utter remoteness of any coastline.

En otro punto del vasto Pacífico, Karina se consolidó como huracán el domingo, nutrida por aguas térmicamente cálidas en plena lejanía de todo litoral.

By Monday, its intensification had elevated it to Category 4, a storm of formidable might, although meteorologists anticipated a progressive attenuation by Tuesday.

Para el lunes, su intensificación la elevó a la categoría 4, una tormenta de formidable poderío, si bien los meteorólogos anticiparon el martes una progresiva atenuación.

According to their forecasts, the system, whose center was located 1,280 miles (2,059 kilometers) west-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula in Mexico, boasted maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (222 kph), yet posed no threat whatsoever to land.

Según sus pronósticos, el sistema, cuyo centro se localizaba a 1,280 millas (2,059 kilómetros) al oeste-suroeste del extremo meridional de la península de Baja California, en México, ostentaba vientos máximos sostenidos de 140 mph (222 kph), aunque sin representar amenaza alguna para tierra firme.

The historical account has been amended to rectify the prior inaccuracy, clarifying that Dolly held the status of a tropical storm, rather than that of a hurricane.

La reseña histórica ha sido objeto de una enmienda con el fin de subsanar la inexactitud previa, aclarándose que Dolly ostentaba la categoría de tormenta tropical, y no la de huracán.
