<p>Harvey is expected to drop another 15 to 25 inches of rain this week over the upper Texas coast and southwestern Louisiana. The National Hurricane Center on Monday morning continued to warn of "catastrophic and <a href="http://www.nola.com/hurricane/index.ssf/2017/08/harvey_houston_flooding_rain.html#incart_2box">life-threatening flooding</a>" in southeastern Texas.&nbsp;&nbsp;The rising water has chased thousands of people to rooftops or higher ground and overwhelmed rescuers who could not keep up with the constant calls for help.</p>
<p>Isolated storm totals could reach 50 inches in the&nbsp;Houston and Galveston metro area, forecasters said.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT4+shtml/281150.shtml" data-enhanced="small"></a></p>
<p>As of 7 a.m. Monday, forecasters said Harvey was about 25 miles northeast of Port O'Connor, Texas. It had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph and was moving southeast at 3 mph. The center of Harvey on Monday morning was moving off the Texas coast and over the Gulf of Mexico. It's expected to remain just offshore through Tuesday.</p>
<p>The National Hurricane Center said Harvey is expected to move slowly southeast Monday and then on Tuesday, forecasters say it will start moving northeast. "Slight" restrengthening is possible Monday and Tuesday.</p>
