Afternoon scattered thunderstorms across much of the area could produce isolated heavy rain and gusty winds of 30 to 40 mph as a frontal boundary pushes across the area.
DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN…Thursday through Tuesday.
Harvey regenerates into a tropical depression across the Gulf of Mexico waters. Harvey is expected to move to the northwest and approach the Texas coast Friday.
The tropical system will bring tropical storm winds and heavy rain across South Central Texas beginning Friday and continuing into the weekend. There is a Tropical Storm Watch for counties east of Interstate 35. Flash flooding and river flooding is possible, mainly across the Tropical Storm Watch area.
As of now, the storm total rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches are expected east of Interstate 35 with isolated 10 inches across counties in the Tropical Storm Watch from Friday afternoon through Monday afternoon.
It should be stressed that there is the potential for much higher amounts across South Central Texas as they will be highly dependent on the track and intensity of Harvey.
There is a low risk of brief tornadoes east of Interstate 35 Friday evening into the weekend associated with tropical rain bands.
