Harvey regained tropical storm strength overnight and as of 4:00 a.m. was about 425 miles south-southeast of Port O'Connor, Texas. Some additional strengthening during the next 48 hours is forecasted and Harvey is expected to become a hurricane by Friday.

Seabrook is currently under a Tropical Storm Warning and Storm Surge Watch. So what does this mean? 

WATCH: Let's you know that weather conditions are favorable for a hazard to occur. It means "be on guard". As of right now we have the possibility of experiencing some storm surge from this event.

Seabrook is now under a Tropical Storm Watch as Tropical Depression Harvey continues to strengthen in the Gulf. It is still very uncertain where exactly along the Texas coast Harvey will make landfall, however, at this time, current models predict that Seabrook will be on the east side of the storm.

The primary threat associated with this storm will be rain and possibly flash flooding. The City of Seabrook will barricade and close streets that become impassable during the storm. Rain, wind and high tide will most likely start Thursday afternoon/evening into Friday morning and is expected to stick around all weekend and into Monday. The forecast and storm models are subject to change.
