In more than a decade, Hurricane Harvey is one of the biggest hurricanes to hit the US mainland, with dangerous floods forecast along the Gulf Coast.
The fierce Category 4 hurricane strucked on Friday night, eased by Saturday into a tropical storm. According to National Hurricane Centre (NHC), the US could be hit by yet more flooding as the warns a weather system off the Southeast US coast has a 90 per cent chance of becoming a cyclone in the next 48 hours.
NHC, has nicknamed the developing weather system as Potential Tropical Cyclone Ten, a name used to identify features that have a chance to develop into a tropical depression or storm.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement: The president will travel to Texas on Tuesday. We are coordinating logistics with state and local officials, and once details are finalised, we will let you know. We continue to keep all of those affected in our thoughts and prayers."
At least five people have died in the Houston area in flood-related deaths, according to the National Weather Service. And the number is likely to rise considering many of the worst-hit areas remain inaccessible to rescuers and the flooding in the Houston area is expected to worsen.
