Friday 7PM Hurricane Harvey Update
At 700 PM CDT (0000 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Harvey was located by reconnaissance aircraft and NOAA Doppler radar near latitude 27.8 North, longitude 96.8 West. Harvey is moving toward the northwest near 8 mph (13 km/h), but its forward speed is expected to decrease during the next couple of days. On the forecast track, Harvey will make landfall on the middle Texas coast during the next several hours. Harvey is then likely to meander near or just inland of the middle Texas coast through the weekend. Reports from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that maximum sustained winds remain near 130 mph (215 km/h) with higher gusts. Harvey is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Little change in strength is likely before landfall. Weakening is then expected over the weekend while the center moves inland over Texas. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the center, and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles (220 km). |

Harvey is then likely to meander near or just inland of the middle Texas coast through the weekend. Maximum sustained winds are near 110 mph (175 km/h) with higher gusts.

The most likely arrival time for tropical storm force winds to reach the upper Texas coast is during the day on Friday. |
NWS TD Harvey update
Tropical Depression Harvey has not moved much today but is expected to strengthen as it moves NW towards the Texas Coast. TD Harvey is expected to continue to strengthen into a tropical storm or hurricane during the next couple of days. The primary impact from Harvey remains heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding, but there will still be a threat for tropical storm to hurricane force winds and storm surge along the coast. The most likely arrival time for Tropical Storm force winds to reach the Upper Texas Coast is during the day on Friday.
