Edouard is still fighting dry air but he is pulling himself together. You can see banding on both radar and sat images.
He is way too close to land to count him out and I think it's possible he could intensify more so tonight.

This is a storm that many people across a wide area will feel weather from him in one form or the other and
tornadoes are expected and may be further away from the center of landfall so this storm should be
monitored carefully.

Also, as he is so close to land any kwirky movements or a faster forward speed could change the picture quickly for both parishes in Louisiana and areas in Texas.

A lot of people could get severe weather from this storm across a wide area and focusing on landfall at Galveston Bay
where tv mets are setting up for good footage would be wrong as there are many river towns and bayou areas that
are not as well known or photogenic that can receive serious damage.

Good loop.

Also... both Sabine River and Galveston Bay are large watershed, estuary areas that have their own ecosystem.

Hard to tell if the movement is off but thanks for the great loop posted, there is so much to look at with a storm this close in it's hard to tell where to look first.

Hope the timing is right and not off on this landfall.
