Typhoon Harvey has fortified while moving north through the Gulf of Mexico, forecasters said Thursday morning (Aug. 24). The tempest's most extreme maintained breezes have expanded to 60 mph and Harvey is required to reinforce into a tropical storm by Friday.
Harvey is on track to approach the southern Texas drift on Friday and conceivably bring substantial rain to New Orleans and Louisiana beginning once again the end of the week.
Starting at 7 a.m., Harvey was 380 miles southeast of Port O'Connor, Texas, and around 335 miles southeast of Port Mansfield, Texas. It's moving northwest at 10 mph and forecasters anticipate that it will accelerate before slowing down finished Texas.
Harvey is relied upon to drop 10 to 15 creeps of rain with separated most extreme measures of 25 crawls over the Texas drift through next Wednesday. Precipitation from Harvey may cause perilous flooding, forecasters cautioned.
As of Thursday morning, the National Weather Service was assessing that New Orleans could see around 4 to 6 creeps of rain through Thursday from the tempest.
Forecasters say, notwithstanding, that the "precipitation swath" of Harvey is unverifiable, and little changes in the tempest's position could bring significantly pretty much rain.
