I've finally figured out where to get information about where Tropical Storm Harvey is and where it's probably going. This is a map from the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida, showing the storm as of Tuesday morning.
The winds are 45 mph and Harvey is now back in the Gulf of Mexico. This would mean the storm is again strengthening. Will it reach hurricane force again? I doubt it. I imagine it will reach about 60 mph and make landfall again Wednesday or Thursday in southwest Louisiana. It is currently heading in an east northeastwardly direction.
The likelihood of tropical storm force winds in Louisiana currently is about 85%. If I lived in Lake Charles I would probably go stay in Arkansas or Oklahoma for a few days. The likelihood right now of tropical storm force winds in Arkansas on Friday or Saturday is 10 - 20%. It will probably be a tropical depression by then, with a lot of rain. However, it could still be a tropical storm.
I saw a projection of this storm going all the way to Canada as a tropical depression.
Right now Arkansas has already had 8" more rain than the average for the year, and average temperatures this summer have been 20ยบ lower than average. A strange year.
What say I? A lot more rain in the forecast.
