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.

Just saw where Adicks has water about ready to come over the top even with the flood gate open.
 
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.
