Tropical Storm Harvey Situation Update - August 28, 2017
According to the National Hurricane Center, Topical Storm Harvey has been steered north-northeastward by a light southwesterly flow between a high in the Gulf of Mexico and a trough over the central United States. This flow pattern should keep Harvey on the same general track and speed with a gradual turn to the northeast in about 3 days.
