Remnants Of Harvey To Head For The Hudson Valley Labor Day Weekend: Forecast

What's left of the storm drowning Houston is expected to pick up speed and bring drenching rain to the Northeast over Labor Day weekend.

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — Forecasters at AccuWeather.com are predicting that the remnants of Harvey, once a Category 4 hurricane and now a stuck storm system drowning Texas and Louisiana, will finally get moving. And where will it head? Northeast.

AccuWeather predicts the storm will pick up speed on its way to the Ohio Valley and New York. But by the time it gets here, it will have morphed from a tropical storm to a tropical depression then a tropical rainstorm.

The good news: the increase in forward speed will prevent Harvey from dumping anywhere near the amount rain it has near the Gulf coast, said AccuWeather Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski.

"While it is not expected to bring widespread flooding, or flooding anywhere close to the disaster in Texas, enough rain is likely to fall to bring urban and isolated flash flooding to some states farther north," said Renee Duff, AccuWeather.com meteorologist.
