Right now...right now..it is a rain event...a major rain event...I think as time wears on, like Andrew stated, it COULD be a wind event if the track moves northward...so, he might be holding off.

Looks like a hurricane to me- a large one!
Cmc shows 12+ in rains around Houston area now which is a lot more than last nights run.

At noon, it's now Hurricane Harvey at 80 mph.

Someone posted a satellite image of Harvey a page or so ago - it was one of the last images posted. I would like to verify this image - can you please post where you found it? When I clicked on it, it sent me to an imagur site, without any identification.
thanks!
thanks!
When is the next model track guidance update?

I would look at the time period when y'all are to get the heavy rain...or maybe when the heavy rain is to arrive in western Jefferson County since the NHC won't issue for just part of a county, as to the timing of watches and warnings.djmike wrote:Just an opinion, but I would think the more and more the track shifts N and E, the higher the probability is for us to see the 20"+ rather than be less. NHC may need to start thinking about expanding the watches and warnings eastward a bit. At least to cover Jefferson county (BPT area) and extreme SWLA parishes for watches. If this shift NE is the new trend, unfortunately we are running out of time to evac if need be. We've seen MANY cases where we end up getting caught off guard. Always best to prepare any time a storm threatens Texas or even Louisiana.
I'd think (no met amateur exp here) once Harvey starts to come back into the Gulf is when TS watches would include y'all and SW LA.

Harvey continues to eclipse the tracking points to the n ahead by 6 hrs. Could be another shift up the coast with the 1 pm special package.
