Tropical Major Hurricane Harvey

The National Ocean Service automated station at
the Matagorda Bay entrance recently reported sustained winds of
46 mph (74 km/h) and a wind gust of 57 mph (92 km/h).
 
Afraid we are fixing to witness the unthinkable next 24 to 36 hrs in Houston area with more mind boggling heavy rains. Those 2 dams built in the 40s are going to be tested if the Nam is correct. Also Bastardi says all that run off into galveston bay, wheres the water going with 50-60mph winds out of the North coming from its backside if Harvey spins up and rides up to its east. Long ways to go with this one still.

The 3km is the most aggressive with rainfall totals over the next 18 hours. HRRR is not near as bad as the 12km NAM, or GFS for the Houston area, but the immediate coast gets pummeled.
 
Getting a chance to look in depth at satellite makes me start to wonder if Harvey has become decoupled. Shortwave IR suggest's that the actual LLC is moving decently SE while on WV the MLC appears to be moving more ENE.

It is possibly that it does become decoupled and the naked LLC misses the trough and drifts to its demise over the central GOM.
 
(CNN)As Harvey continues dumping rain on East Texas and the waters there continue to rise, people are starting to panic, rushing rescue boats and even shooting at them if they don't stop, said one volunteer rescuer.

They are looters trying to rob rescuers. But CNN likes to write their own story.

Heavy rain band has been over Houston all day long. Most of the tornadic storms have been in east TX and south LA today but all of the gulf moisture is ample 2-8" more has fallen today especially at Houston. Flash flood warning...Prayers for the gulf coast.

That's just insane. They weren't even prepared for THIS much. I remember we all were like these models are insane 50+ inches?! Looks like they had this one right unfortunately

I could see tomorrow turning a bit wetter than thought for Atlanta...seems like the front and combo with Harvey is pulling moisture up fast from the gulf. Been getting off and on drops here this evening.

Looks like Harvey has a bit of bite left. Winds on this particular station have increased quite a bit the past few hours.

And there's a chance of another disturbance in the Gulf, too. They definitely don't want anymore rain.

looks as if Harvey is either moving due east or a tad south east, last couple of frames.

What's stupider is I heard a professor in Tampa said they deserved it. Sad that people are getting angry and pointing fingers. It's not ever good to say something like that.

Some people are just ignorant. The less we pay them attention, the less we'll hear their BS.
