Tropical Major Hurricane Harvey

Inner core getting organized once again, microwave imagery showing nice eye

Would love to see a loop of that. Are you getting it from Central Florida Hurricane?
Here's the "best" I'm finding

The longer this takes to get it's core completely organized, the more concerned I get.

One hurricane I keep comparing this to in mind, did the same thing....

Looking at the satellite loop, I think Harvey underwent an ERC, but I am not too certain. Was developing an eye, then stopped and closed up. Look at the IR satellite, and you will see the northern eyewall open up briefly. Now, it seems to be closing again as convection wraps around. More moisture is being fed into Harvey by this blob too. Pressure is dropping, as hurricane hunters have found, and the winds are stronger in the NE quadrant than in the last pass of the eye, so maybe we can expect this to loop around with the stronger convection and begin the RI again.

For the sake of those folks in Texas, it would be fine if this simply turned itself into a late August thunderstorm (we've had our fun watching and postulating; now it's population to consider), but FS, I fear you are right about possible RI ... :confused:
