Tropical Major Hurricane Harvey

[ForsythSnow]

NHC now expecting a hurricane at landfall, but slow strengthening the next 24 hours.

Interesting tidbit from the forecast discussion.

"Perhaps the most
significant finding of the aircraft is that the center was to the
east of the previous advisory position."

GFS really escalating the intensity, maybe a more significant hurricane isn't unrealistic

Deep convective burst with the upgrade.

either recon is broke or this might be a hurricane sooner than we think lmao

 

[Brent]

meanwhile the GFS abandoned the Mexico thing and is looking more like the Euro going back to the Gulf next week

Hits Houston next Wednesday

[Brent]

GFS 999 mb in NE Mississippi on September 1st...
