Harvey is expected shift more northeastward away from South Texas
and the Middle Texas coastal waters through the day. Harvey will
continue to impact South Texas and adjacent coastal waters through

force winds and wind gusts, mainly over the bays and Gulf waters
north of Port Aransas.

The flooding rain threat will continue to decrease. Although there
is still a possibility for an additional 1/2 to 1 inch of rainfall
due to Harvey through Wednesday, the flooding concerns have greatly
diminished and isolated and nuisance flooding is now only expected.

Potential impacts from the main wind event are now unfolding across
Calhoun County and the Coastal Waters north of Rockport. Remain

these impacts include:
    - Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored
      mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about.
    - Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or
      uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees are
      shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown over.
    - A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within urban
      or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving conditions on
      bridges and other elevated roadways.
    - Scattered power and communications outages.

Elsewhere across SOUTH TEXAS, little to no impact is anticipated.
