Tropical Major Hurricane Harvey

This is like a triple threat devastating winds followed by devastating flooding and then days of tropical storm-force winds that even if someone was able to begin cleanup or power restoration they still won't be able to. It's unfortunately maybe the absolute worst case scenario

I'm not downplaying the Tropical storm-force wind threat but I'll be interested to see just how long that threat goes . i know models keep them going for days and days so it will be interesting to see how it actually plays out
 
TWC said that Harvey hasn't slowed down yet. And it supposed to by now.

If it can keep a connection to the gulf it should maintain some strength

Yeah the guy off TWC said it should hover over the gulf coast and keep some strength. Then loop back in gulf.

Will be interesting to see just how far inland it gets . The further inland it goes the higher the chances for a gfs like solution that drags on deep into next week. The closer it stays to the coast increases the influence the trough will have on it similar to PREVIOUS euro runs which pulled it NE a bit faster

well that's true . That's why it's gonna be interesting to see if it gets further inland like the gfs has or stays closer to the coast like previous euro runs had

Hell with the storm surge it has in it dumps two feet of rain it can move Inland and still be over the gulf because it's getting ready to erase the coastline

Wow! It just continues to strengthen. Wasn't it stated earlier today it wasn't going to strengthen much from where it was at this morning?

They measured winds of only 5kts in the eye on a recent dropsonde. Awaiting Cat 4 classification.
