Tropical Major Hurricane Harvey

The only
agreement among the track guidance is that Harvey is certainly not
going anywhere fast. <smh

That's insane. Easily a storm of a lifestyle
for many in the area.

I didn't get why TWC had no one in Rockport which was ground zero and where so many chasers were

It made their coverage quite lame tbh lol

I thought that as well! Rockport was the action point. They still don't have anyone there!

That is exactly why they didn't go. It was ground zero and with a network with such a high reputation, they didn't want to endanger anyone part of their network or risk broadcasting an amateur dying from irresponsibility.

I don't like their coverage either. Wasn't that interesting in the end.
 
Well the comparison in my head between Harvey and Katrina was about perfect. Katrina had a stubborn inner eyewall for almost a whole day before it finally shed it and RI'ed. Harvey had a Cat 5 motor and no doubt would have been a Cat 5 without the friction of land near by. It's amazing the difference between a weakening storm vs a strengthening one. You might as well go a Category lower than advisory for a weakening one and a category higher for a strengthening one.

Yep, it's like the difference between flooring it into a wall or coasting into a wall. Harvey flooded it while other storms have just weakened before hitting. No doubt that Harvey has done some major damage.

That's what the snowband that sets up over GSP this winter is going to look like!
But really, TWC is boring today, I understand the flooding will be catastrophic , but just showing live shots of rain, does not make for riveting live tv

I know its most likely wrong, but that would be good if that track happend. Needs some rain
 
Two things to watch for regarding Harvey getting back into the gulf.

One, watch to see if it can stay stacked with its mid-level center. If it does, it will start to feel the gulf long before it the center gets off shore. Expect a much better shot at re-strengthening. If mid-level center decouples, very little strengthening will occur before landfall.

Secondly, with this moving NE along the coast in the weak flow; don't be surprised to see this make it farther east than forecast. We all have seen well developed tropical systems bounce along the coast.

Euro takes it close to Louisiana/Texas line. Cmc takes it further east.

I'm still not sold the trough misses it but we will see. The SE ridge is gonna play a roll in that as well

GSP has drastically cut chances of rain to almost zero , through next Friday! Says all data today showing it staying well south of our area! Can't win around here! But keeping it tropical , looks like Harvey still has an eye, even after being on land for about 16+ hours! Amazing
 
Hearing only one official death so far? That's remarkable if so.

He still looks amazing for being over land all day

Looks to be drifting east he can feed off the gulf more if he keeps that up
 
So Reed Timmer is with Accuweather? I wasn't aware of that! He should have driven his TIV!
 
And wasn't this thing supposed to go left? Looks like it's going right
