way to southwestern louisiana. within that area, we can see isolated amounts of rainfall. as much as 35 inches. 3 feet of rain. could cause some catastrophic flooding. so we re going to be dealing with a lot of water from harvey, both in terms of storm surge and rainfall the next several days. please take all appropriate precautions as the storm is beginning to intensify as it approaches the texas cote, this is mike brennan at the national hurricane center with the 2:00 p.m. central daylight update on harvey. that s the latest on the hurricane. we have team fox coverage. steve harrigan is live in corpus christi, texas with more on how people there are preparing for the storm. first, though, let s go to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth in the weather centered. hi, rick. great briefing from the national hurricane center center. they re doing incredible work. some of the points here, the hurricane strengthening now to a category three storm. all indications are is that it doesn t ne
