'Harvey' to Bring Weekend Rain Further North
USAgNet - 08/30/2017
AccuWeather reports after inundating Texas and Louisiana for days, Harvey will race across the Ohio Valley and northeastern United States with rain during part of the Labor Day weekend. While Harvey is not expected to bring widespread flooding, or
flooding anywhere close to the disaster in Texas, enough rain is likely to fall to bring urban and isolated flash flooding to some states farther north.
"Harvey will drift inland for the last time on Wednesday, near the Louisiana/Texas border and begin to accelerate northeastward across the interior U.S. late this week," according to AccuWeather Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski.
This increase in forward speed will prevent Harvey from repeating the feet of rain which has fallen near the Gulf coast. Harvey will transition from a tropical storm to a tropical depression then a tropical rainstorm.
"Since Harvey will remain an efficient producer of rain, a general 2-4 inches is likely to fall near and just north of its path," Kottlowski said.
Some places will get a little more. The heaviest rain from Thursday to Friday is likely to track within 100 miles or so of the lower Mississippi and Ohio rivers.
