The Federal Aviation Association said Monday that the airports will not reopen until at least Wednesday.

“Although Harvey has weakened from a hurricane to a tropical storm, it continues to dump rain from southeast Texas to Louisiana,” the FAA said. “Airports in are expected to stay closed to the public until Wednesday, and traffic management initiatives are likely at high altitudes for flights in the wider region.”
