Possible additional rain totals for next 7 days and interesting wording by NWS (keep in mind these will be scattered totals that are possible in these areas with bands of heavy rains rotating thru):
Tornado threat will continue for several more days as well: Attachment 189524
As far as the center of Harvey: 10aCDT/11aEST: Winds 40mph, moving SSE 2mph, pressure 1000mb. It's going to hang around thru late this week likely continuing to bring scattered rains and flood/tornado threat for days to come across east TX and parts of Louisiana.
Keep in mind spme rivers won't crest (reach highest mark) until later this week in some locations. More flooding to come.
Houston has had numerous water rescues, with additional boats and helicopters inbound. Consult local news for details. Houston has only very recently finally started to address flooding the city regularly receives. They have a long road ahead of them to protect people in the future though.
Radar shows a break coming starting in SW Houston, but another band SW of there building. Heavy flooding rains making their way into portions of Louisiana now too.
12pCDT/1EST: IAH (George Bush Intercontinental Airport) & HOU (William P. Hobby Airport) airports closed, no inbound/outbound flights until further notice.
Sunday late afternoon:
-Corpus Christi boil water advisory lifted (except Padre Island), wastewater plant back online, 95% power restoration by 10p Wed.
-Victoria, Beeville, El Campo, & Kenedy power eta is 95% by 10pm this coming Saturday.
The track of Harvey, if stays this way, would indicate heavy scattered rains in bands near the Houston region is possible thru Tuesday, but less after. Subject to change but hopefully somewhat of an end in sight. Heavier rains slowly start to push more into parts of Louisiana. Will still have river flooding to worry about though and occasional rains into the region thru the week.

The San Jacinto River Basin (Lake Houston) has been rising fast.
This is especially true because the Conroe Dam was only 6" from max before Harvey hit. Conroe has been spilling water from 445 square miles of watershed.
I have been trying to figure this dam out and editing my comment. It looks like it already is spilling water after it reaches 41 ft. Then it has two more gates it can open to prevent it from reaching maximum design level.
Currently the SJRB is at 46.8 ft. When the reservoir reaches 54 ft, and it likely will, then the dam must begin to spill from the two extra gates.
At that point, expect a dramatic rise in the San Jacinto below the dam.
