Nam/Euro supports Cmc also with that track.:weenie::weenie:;)
 
Looks like it's going to make landfall soon.
The northern eye wall will make landfall in about 6 hrs. Hurricane force winds will linger untill Sunday before it gets back in gulf.
 
Areas inland like Cuero, Goliad, and Karnes City will see at least 48 hours of tropical storm to hurricane conditions and when you add 25-36 inches of rain to that then there are just no words.
 
SIDEBAR: I never imagined how much more helpful the live thread is than refreshing. Still wish my phone said "Harvey" every message, but the live thread is genius.

Yeah it no doubt makes things much easier when following along

Flight level winds 107kt

Three questions - 1) What recon site are you using, 2) Flight level winds from what location, and What's the translation to surface wind?
This is basically what I'm looking at; maybe there's something better? (That's question #4 ... LOL) http://tropicalatlantic.com/recon/
Best!
