Hurricane Harvey is expected to hit the coast of Texas by Friday night as a Category 3 storm.
In addition to winds that have reached 120 miles per hour, Harvey is expected to dump a foot or two of rain on much of Texas, causing “life-threatening and devastating flooding.”
The storm is projected to hit the Texas coast near Corpus Christi, move inland toward San Antonio and later change course heading toward Houston as a tropical storm.
Here’s what the National Weather Service predicts Harvey’s path will look like.
Harvey's forecast path is slow and meandering, meaning a long duration flood threat with catastrophic results.

A large part of southeast Texas and most of Louisiana will feel the effects of Harvey as well, and heavy rain is expected especially near the coast.
