<p>The National Weather Storm is tracking a strong thunderstorm near Lafitte.</p>
<p>From the NWS: a strong thunderstorm was located near Lafitte, or 14 miles northeast of Cut Off, moving northwest at 10 mph.
<p>Winds in excess of 30 mph are possible with this storm.</p>
<p>Locations impacted include...<br>Marrero, Westwego, Jean Lafitte, Lafitte, Barataria and Estelle.</p>
<p>Torrential rainfall is also occurring with this storm, and may cause localized flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded roadways.</p>
<p>Frequent cloud to ground lightning is occurring with this storm.</p>
<p>Lightning can strike 10 miles away from a thunderstorm. Seek a safe<br>shelter inside a building or vehicle.</p>
<p><strong>1:30 p.m.</strong></p>
<p>From the National Weather Service, via reporter Mark Schleifstein:</p>
<p>The likelihood of flash flooding has extended eastward into the southwestern and south central coastline of Louisiana, according to the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center.</p>
<p>"The threat of flash flooding is increasing across southern Louisiana as soils saturate, while significant to catastrophic flash flooding continues across portions of southeast Texas, including the Houston metropolitan area," says a mesoscale (regional) precipitation discussion message issued just after 1 p.m. Sunday.</p>
<p>"Radar imagery has shown an eastward movement of Harvey as of late, which moved the earlier bands from southeast Texas into southwest and south central Louisiana," the message said.</p>
<p>"New bands continue to form near and west of Houston, but remain 50 miles away from its center. The innermost band is trying to wrap around its northern side as elevated convection."</p>
<p>Overall, the thunderstorm activity continues to occur mostly within Harvey's northeast quadrant, away from its center.</p>
<p>Average rainfall within the Harris County Emergency Network, which includes Houston, has how exceeded that of Tropical Storm Allison in 2001 in almost half of the time - two to three days, versus five days.</p>

<p>The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement is reporting that 105 oil and gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico have been evacuated in response to Tropical Storm Harvey. That represents about 14 percent of the 737 manned production platforms in the Gulf.</p>
<p>Five of 10 rigs in the gulf have also been evacuated, and one DP rig was moved out of the path of the storm.</p>
<p>The storm has also cut the amount of oil and gas being produced. BSEE estimates "1.64 percent of the current oil production of 1.75 million barrels of oil per day in the Gulf of Mexico has been shut-in, which equates to 378,633 barrels of oil per day.</p>
<p>"It is also estimated that approximately 25.71 percent of the natural gas production of 3,220 million cubic feet per day, or 827.89 million cubic feet per day in the Gulf of Mexico has been shut-in."</p>

<p>WVUE Fox 8 Chief Meteorologist sends this weather update for southeastern Louisiana.</p>
<p>Showers and storms are increasing across Southeast Louisiana and that means some street flooding will be possible today. FOX 8 Chief Meteorologist David Bernard says that as Harvey continues to unwind over Texas the deep tropical moisture will be forced in our direction. In addition we have a stalled front over the area which will act as a focus for more storms.</p>
<p>Bernard says it's possible that a heavy rain band may get stuck over one area and that could cause additional flood problems later today and tonight.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The National Weather Service has posted a tornado watch for western Louisiana and eastern Texas.</p>
<p>From the bulletin:</p>
<p>"The risk for brief tornadoes will continue into early Monday in association with tropical cyclone Harvey. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 55 statute miles north and south of a line from 30 miles west northwest of Angleton, Texas to 65 miles east southeast of Lake Charles, La.</p>
<p>"A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings."</p>

<p><strong>12:16 p.m.</strong></p>
<p>Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards issued the following statement about Tropical Storm Harvey:</p>
<p>"We've just completed our morning briefing with the South West Hurricane Task Force.&nbsp; This storm is wreaking havoc along the Gulf Coast.&nbsp; It is critically important for the people of Louisiana, particularly those in Southwest Louisiana, to recognize that we are not out of the woods.&nbsp; I am asking all Louisianans to remain vigilant and pay attention to your local news.&nbsp; Louisiana will remain in this storm's path for the next week, from Southwest Louisiana to North Louisiana.&nbsp; Forecasts show this storm system making its way closer to Louisiana over the next 48 hours and causing heavy rainfall and potentially life-threatening flooding.&nbsp; We are closely monitoring this storm system and coordinating with our local and federal partners.</p>
<p>"In addition to making the necessary preparations for this storm in Louisiana, we are in regular contact with our neighbors in Texas.&nbsp; Already, we have dispatched personnel from Louisiana to assist their efforts, including with search and rescue.&nbsp; Nearly 12 years ago, Texans opened their doors to the people of Louisiana when Hurricane Katrina devastated our state. Since then, we've turned to them for assistance time and again. &nbsp;In 2016, Texas Taskforce 1 was dispatched to our state to provide support during the historic floods.&nbsp; We will do nothing less to support to the people of Texas in any way that we can as they respond and recover from Hurricane Harvey."</p>

<p>FEMA Administrator Brock Long tells CNN's Jake Tapper that the agency expects to be in Houston for years -- not months.</p>
<p>"FEMA is going to be there for years. This disaster's going to be a landmark event," Long said on CNN's "State of the Union."</p>
<p>"This event is nothing like Katrina," Long said. "This is a storm the United States has not seen yet."</p>

<p>This is the latest National Weather Service update for Harvey's impact on the New Orleans and Baton Rouge area.</p>
<p>There is a "marginal Risk of heavy rain capable of producing flooding, and a "marginal risk of severe thunderstorms capable of producing tropical funnels, brief weak tornadoes and waterspouts.</p>
<p>That risk will begin Sunday and last through Thursday afternoon, "mainly west of an Angola-Baton Rouge-Terrebonne Bay line, lesser threat to the east."</p>
<p>"Rainfall accumulations of 2 to 6 inches is possible for much of the area, locally higher amounts through Thursday afternoon.&nbsp;Locally heavy rainfall will likely lead to ponding of water in low&nbsp;lying areas and areas of poor drainage, and some flash flooding will be possible in the areas that receive the most rainfall, particularly under narrow bands that may linger for some duration.&nbsp;Rises on area rivers can be expected and flood warnings may be necessary.</p>

<p><strong>8:26 a.m.</strong></p>
<p>Here is the latest National Weather Service update as it relates to the southeastern United States.</p>
<p>"The biggest concern with Harvey is now the rain, a lot of rain. Rainfall totals of nearly 20 inches have been reported in the Houston area. This is resulting in catastrophic flooding which, unfortunately, will continue for some time."</p>
<p><strong>8:25 a.m.: </strong>Here is the latest forecast from the National Weather Service as it relates to the southeastern U.S., along with a graphic showing the updated storm track for Harvey.<strong><br></strong></p>
<p>"The cyclone is trapped between mid-level highs to its west-northwest and east-southeast. Over the next couple of days, the flow on the southern periphery of a trough dropping over the east-central United States should cause Harvey to move slowly southeastward to eastward. Later in the forecast period, increased ridging to east of the cyclone should cause Harvey to turn northward."</p>

<p><strong>8:21 a.m.:</strong> The U.S. Coast Guard says it is conducting an "urban search and rescue" operation in Houston. The Coast Guard said it has received 300 calls for help so far.</p>
<p>The Coast Guard is using five MH-65 Dolphin Helicopters and three Flood Punt Teams. They issued this guidance if anyone is in a flooding situation:</p>
<p>Stay calm, do not panic.</p>
<p>Do not go into the attic, rescuers from the air cannot see you.</p>
<p>Get to high ground immediately.</p>
<p>Mark the roof to be seen from the air. Wave sheets, towels, to be noticed from the air.<br>&nbsp;</p>
