HOUSTON, United States — Storm Nicholas strengthened to a hurricane Monday as it tracked up the Texas coast just before its expected landfall, with meteorologists warning of dangerous levels of rainfall.

Nicholas is bringing “heavy rains, strong winds, and storm surges to portions of the central and upper Texas coasts,” the National Hurricane Center said. “This is a life-threatening situation,” it said, warning people in the area to “take all necessary actions to protect life and property from rising water and the potential for other dangerous conditions.”Sylvester Turner, the mayor of Houston — parts of which were devastated by Hurricane Harvey in 2017 — said the city was on high alert.

The storm’s imminent arrival forced many flights to be canceled at Houston-area airports, and the Houston ship channel at the busy port was closed, said a spokesman for the agency that steers ships through the waterway.
