The fifth tropical depression of this hurricane season has formed in the Gulf of Mexico, the NOAA announced earlier today.
That depression quickly turned into Tropical Storm Edouard.
As of 5 p.m., the center of the depression was located 90 miles southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River and about 420 east of Galveston, Texas.
A tropical storm warning is in effect for the Louisiana coast from the mouth of the Mississippi River westward to Intracostal City.
The storm is expected to move west toward the Texas coast.
