After making landfall Friday night around 10 PM near Rockport, TX, Harvey has dropped down to a category 1 storm and will continue to weaken to a tropical storm later today. However, that does not mean the worst is over. The flooding is increasing for parts of Texas and it is going to be devastating.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9mYlt9TkmqQ/WaF7I0TZ-GI/AAAAAAAAWrU/eDxpcca-1RgBAPdpvxwXqLidSSd8r7x1wCLcBGAs/s1600/hrrr_2017082611_ref_austin.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9mYlt9TkmqQ/WaF7I0TZ-GI/AAAAAAAAWrU/eDxpcca-1RgBAPdpvxwXqLidSSd8r7x1wCLcBGAs/s320/hrrr_2017082611_ref_austin.gif" width="320" /></a></div>
The HRRR computer model, which is a short term, high resolution model, shows Harvey spinning in the same spot all day Saturday. Basically between San Antonio and Victoria near the I-10 corridor. Notice farther east near Houston. That is a water hose of heavy rain that will be streaming into Houston all day. Folks, that is going to cause major flooding for them.<br />
<br />
Here in the Hill Country, rain has begun falling and will continue to do so all day and all night. Heaviest amounts will still be along and east of I-35. Locally, we will see 2 to 4 inches and lighter amounts the farther west you go towards San Angelo.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2pEKlqLDcUs/WaF7zfXN0FI/AAAAAAAAWrc/I8Hd3-40XpgHo-3fGG6XqoGWiX4OQzO5gCLcBGAs/s1600/image5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="544" data-original-width="725" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2pEKlqLDcUs/WaF7zfXN0FI/AAAAAAAAWrc/I8Hd3-40XpgHo-3fGG6XqoGWiX4OQzO5gCLcBGAs/s320/image5.png" width="320" /></a></div>
Winds are going to be breezy today and tomorrow, heavier in the strong rain bands rotating around the center of circulation. I do not think we will see much wind damage as speeds will stay around 30 to 40 mph.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The long range models continue to show Harvey maintaining tropical storm strength and moving very little for several days. That means the rain is going to keep falling with a few breaks from time to time. Initially, the ground is going to soak up a lot of this rain. Then creeks and rivers will fill up and as more rain falls next week, flooding will be likely along I-35. Some flooding could happen in the Hill Country in the usual spots.<br />

Burnet, Texas--Hurricane Harvey made landfall on the Central Texas coast as a Category 4 storm late Friday, and on Saturday morning United States Congressman Beto O&#39;Rourke (D-El Paso), who is also running for United States Senate against Ted Cruz, said that he has been in contact with local leaders and pledged his support from a federal level.<br><br>
O&#39;Rourke, who made a campaign stop in Burnet, Texas on Saturday says that his thoughts and prayers are with the folks who a affected by Hurricane Harvey.<br><br>
The eye of the storm came crashing ashore on Friday with winds in excess of 130 mph. between Port Aransas and Port O&#8217;Connor, just northeast of Corpus Christi. But as the center of the storm moved to the northeast toward Victoria and other inland cities, the danger was just starting for residents of the Texas Gulf Coast.<br><br>
O&#39;Roruke, who spoke candidly and genuine before a crowd of well over 120 people on Saturday was visibly moved &#8230;

Houston, Texas-- They are the words that nobody ever
wants to hear. The doctor walks into the room and says that you have
cancer. Just the thought of the words will send a shock wave through
a persons body, but imagine if you are a parent being told that your
two year old child has the fearful and dreadful disease. That is
exactly what happened to Jake and Krysten Sheffield in June. 
<br> 
It was on June 13, 2017 when Jake and
Krysten discovered their world would soon be turned upside down. The
ear, nose and throat doctor came into the room and told the
Sheffield&#39;s that they would need to get their two year old son, Ryker
to Texas Childrens Hospital in Houston. In the short span of only 24
hours, Jake and Krysten would find their lives changed forever and
Ryker&#39;s road to beating the dreaded disease had began. 
<br> 
The diagnosis that Ryker had been given
was T Cell lymphoblastic Lymphoma. The type of cancer that Ryker has

The time has come! Our much talked about cold front will be swinging through the Hill Country around midnight on Monday. Before then, it will be another mild day on Monday with highs in the 70s under mostly cloudy skies. A few more showers will be possible but nothing heavy. As the cold front rolls in overnight, there will be a line of showers and storms with is. Nothing severe is expected but there could be a few rumbles of thunder.<br> 
This will be a quick shot of rain with rain totals averaging a quarter of inch or less in our area. Higher amounts are possible east of I-35, lesser amounts farther west. At this point, any rain is better than none. Another round of rain will come mid week. Keep reading for more on that!<br> 
It is going to get pretty cold behind the front. It is December after all! Temperatures will start off in the 50s Tuesday morning. A strong, north wind blowing up to 30 mph will make it feel even colder. That will give us wind chill values in the 30s and 40s. Temperature&#8230;
