Ports have closed as Tropical Storm Harvey shifts toward southwest Louisiana
Beaumont, Port Arthur, Lake Charles and other ports along the Texas-Louisiana border have closed as Tropical Storm Harvey shifts toward southwest Louisiana. Late Monday, the US Coast Guard set port condition Zulu for Louisiana port Lake Charles and Texas ports Beaumont, Nederland, Orange, Port Arthur, Port Neches, Sabine and Sabine Bar. Port condition Zulu closes ports to all vessel traffic, when gale force winds are expected to arrive within 12 hours. The US National Weather Service forecasts Harvey to turn northeast later Tuesday and move inland over Louisiana on Wednesday. It has maximum sustained winds near 45 mph (75 kph), with little change in its strength expected in the next 48 hours, according to a 1200 GMT advisory. Source: Platts
