Harvey is now a dangerous category 2 hurricane, and it is expected to intensify into a major hurricane before making landfall on the Texas coast Friday night or early Saturday. At 5 am Friday, Harvey was located near 25.9 North, 95.4 West, and was moving northwest at 9 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were 105 miles per hour. Harvey is forecast to reenter the Gulf and linger near the Texas and Louisiana coasts through early next week. This will bring potentially catastrophic flooding, with up to 18 inches of rainfall forecast for the area. Life-threatening storm surge is likely along much of the Texas coast.
The low that’s been bedeviling our weather has a low chance of developing into a depression during the next few days, but it has a medium chance of doing so in the Atlantic early next week
