By the time Harvey approaches the Texas coast, winds may reach hurricane strength.
Tropical storm watches have been posted inland, which include Wilson, Gonzales, DeWitt, Lavaca and Karnes counties.
Hurricane watches have been posted closer to the coast, which includes Bee, Live Oak and Goliad counties.
Residents in the watch areas should prepare for possible impacts from Harvey.
The path of the system will have a large impact on where rain falls and how much rain will accumulate.
There remains some uncertainty as to where landfall will occur, with hurricane watches generally stretching from Corpus Christi to Houston.
Currently, the heaviest rain is forecast to fall east of Interstate 35, with widespread amounts of 3 to 6 inches of rain possible. Isolated areas could see even higher totals.
Gusty winds will also be a threat after the system makes landfall.
It's important to note that there will be a sharp dividing line between areas that receive heavy rain and areas that don't get inundated.
San Antonio currently sits near the dividing line, with rainfall amounts still in question.
As Harvey becomes better organized, models will continue to refine the path of the storm.
