.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 411 PM CDT Sun Aug 27 2017/

DISCUSSION...
Radar/satellite imagery show Harvey continuing to meander over
srn Texas in the vicinity of KVCT this afternoon. Outer bands have
been pounding primarily the wrn 1/2 of the forecast area today,
although these areas have been in a bit of a lull the past couple
of hours. A few storms continue to show occasional rotation, and
the Tornado Watch remains in effect until 07z/02L.

The latest NHC track for Harvey shows a general sewd drift back
into the wrn Gulf into tomorrow before turning more newd and
making yet another landfall in the vicinity of Galveston Bay early
Wednesday. A nnewd track is expected thereafter, carrying the low
through ern TX to the Arklatex by the end of the week. All this
will lead to a continuation of widespread showers/scattered
thunder into next weekend. Unfortunately, this also requires
another expansion/extension of the Flash Flood Watch...now
covering our entire forecast area until 01/00z (7pm Thursday).

Thanks to neighboring WFOs and SPC/WPC for coordination today.

MARINE...
SCA/SCEC has been extended into Tuesday.
