Residents in southeast Texas are being urged to stay put as former hurricane Harvey inches south on a track forecasters say will bring it back into the Gulf of Mexico for some slight strengthening before returning into Texas.
Harvey continues to be a tropical storm with 64km/h winds. In its late afternoon update on Sunday, the National Hurricane Center said Harvey would reach the coast late on Monday and spend much of Tuesday over water, where it could increase wind strength to 72km/h.
Forecasters think Harvey will go inland on Wednesday with a path over Houston by the afternoon and then diminish in strength as it heads deeper into Texas and northern Louisiana.
