AT 400 AM CDT...0900 UTC...THE CENTER OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION
HARVEY WAS LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 35.7 NORTH...AND LONGITUDE 87.2
WEST. RADAR AND SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATE THAT TROPICAL
DEPRESSION HARVEY CONTINUES TO SHOW SIGNS OF LOSING TROPICAL
CHARACTERISTICS IN THE PAST FEW HOURS.  MUCH OF THE MODERATE TO
HEAVY RAINS ARE NOW ORGANIZED TO THE NORTH OF THE CIRCULATION
CENTER AHEAD OF A WARM FRONT.  HARVEY IS EXPECTED TO BECOME
EXTRATROPICAL AS IT CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTHEASTWARD TOWARD THE
OHIO VALLEY AND WEAKEN OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.  AN
UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH ARRIVING FROM THE GREAT LAKES SHOULD BEGIN TO
INTERACT WITH THE REMNANT CIRCULATION OF HARVEY IN OHIO ON

NEW ENGLAND ON SUNDAY.

AND WESTERN TO CENTRAL KENTUCKY INTO EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN INDIANA,
SOUTHERN OHIO AND WEST CENTRAL WEST VIRGINIA. LOCALLY HIGHER
