The scale only goes up to 24+ inches, but there are ares in there that are projected for 24 inches in 24 hours, so the totals are much higher.
A lot of that falls while the center is to the west of Houston/Galveston. Constant southerly winds will back up rivers and bays. This is a worst case scenario unfolding.

That is a lot of water moving straight up the Houston Ship Channel.

This would be a major problem.

I'm assuming those rivers and bays are the ones in East Texas and Southwestern LA? Assuming it's current projections are accurate?

12z GFS is weaker and doesn't dig as much with that S/W. There is no weakness for Harvey to escape towards and the ridge builds back over the top forcing Harvey back to the SW.
Should be a nice couch weekend for me!

50 inches in a matter of 7 days.....i assume 90% of that would be dumped in a 24-48hr period

For the most part. The rain totals are minimal through the first 60 hours.

Just landed in Houston and heading home. Lafayette still projected so far for 8-10"?

I've got a ton of family in Cuero. Hopefully these numbers fail to verify.

That picture shows a pretty healthy, organized storm. Is that with the assumption it stays close enough to the coast that it can maintain? What strength does it project it to be at that point?

Houston fam.
Thought I'd get out ahead of mass hysteria and pick up all the dry goods I could before this afternoon. It's already taking place at the Woodlands HEB. No more gallons of water. Bottled water supply is almost gone.
Better to get out now and stick up before waiting in lines folks

It is nothing more than a tropical storm, if that, in that image.
For the time being, wind speed doesn't appear to be a major concern in any global models.
