will travel to Texas on Tuesday in the wake of Hurricane Harvey hitting
its shore and record levels of flooding, White House Press Secretary
Sarah Sanders said Sunday afternoon.

"We are coordinating logistics with state and local officials, and once
details are finalized, we will let you know," she said in a statement.
Sanders added, "We continue to keep all of those affected in our thoughts and prayers."
Trump had tweeted earlier Sunday that he plans on visiting Texas "as soon as that trip can be made without causing disruption."
In an interview on ABC News' “This Week, ”Homeland Security
Adviser Tom Bossert elaborated on the president's tweet Sunday saying
that Trump “doesn't want to get in the way” of the relief efforts.
The forecast track shows Harvey heading back toward the coastline and
interacting with the warm waters of the Gulf Coast early next week. This
means areas that were already hit hard along the Texas coast should
expect even more rain and wind, setting the stage for potentially
catastrophic flooding.
The storm is an evolving system, and its track could change.
