Harvey will continue to dump rain on flooded areas through Wednesday

Though Harvey made landfall as a category 4 hurricane on August 25th, it’s still dangerous

despite its downgrade to a tropical storm. The worry isn’t the winds — which are how hurricanes are categorized — but the rain. The storm is expected to continue dumping rain across southeast Texas, and its heaviest rains haven’t yet hit the state. “We think the heaviest rainfall will be today and tomorrow,” says Dan Petersen, a forecaster with the Weather Prediction Center. Another 15 to 25 inches of rain will fall across coastal areas of southeast Texas, including over Houston, and southwestern Louisiana, Petersen tells The Verge. Some areas could see as much as 50 inches of rain — or about four feet.                                                                                       https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/28/16214996/hurricane-harvey-forecast-flooding-rain-texas
