<P> After striking land , the storm moved over the Copano Bay and made a second landfall in Texas just north of Holiday Beach at 06 : 00 UTC on August 26 as a Category 3 hurricane . Afterwards , rapid weakening ensued as its speed slowed dramatically to a crawl , and Harvey weakened to a tropical storm at 18 : 00 UTC on August 26 . For about two days the storm stalled just inland , dropping very heavy rainfall and causing widespread flash flooding . Harvey 's center drifted back towards the southeast , positioning itself near or just off the Texas coast at Matagorda by 15 : 00 UTC on August 28 . Once offshore , convection blossomed and allowed the once - exposed low - level circulation to become obscured . An Air Force reconnaissance plane investigating the system during the afternoon of August 29 found that maximum winds had increased to 50 mph ( 85 km / h ) . Around 09 : 00 UTC the next morning , Harvey made its third and final landfall just west of Cameron , Louisiana , with winds of 45 mph ( 75 km / h ) . </P>
