Something is obviously kicking Harvey out to the ENE, but the only thing I see is a shortwave trough deepening in TX and OK that could be doing the deed. However, with as relatively shallow as the core of Harvey has been, I'm a little surprised that Harvey would respond that much.
(if this belongs in another forum, feel free to move it, but I am very curious)

Recon is finding stronger winds and a 994mb pressure, so it's going up in strength slightly before a second landfall. Rain is still over Houston, but it shouldn't last beyond tonight. Parts east will be getting the rain.
Harvey's Storm Surge in Galveston is actually preventing a lot of the flood waters from getting out into the Gulf quickly.

Harvey has has now set a preliminary record, surpassing 50 inches for the greatest amount of measured single-storm rainfall for the continental US. Additional rainfall accumulations of 6 to 12 inches are expected to the north and east of Houston from far east Texas into southwestern Louisiana. This is producing devastating flooding. Numerous Flash Flood Warnings are in effect.

Go figure, the low level center of Harvey appears to be moving in a general ESE direction the last few hours. Maybe the visible low level center is moving around a larger low pressure, but if it is, I don't see it. Additionally, It's still generating sheared convection, but that motion if it holds up isn't what anyone needs. Louisiana certainly doesn't need to find itself under a massive rain event as well as the disaster in Texas.

I noticed that also. It looks to have started back on the more northerly track in the last frame. Even more disturbing is 3 of the computer models picking up development in the Bay of Campeche around 120hrs.
