It'll either flow faster out or rise. The latter is the obvious choice given the water in SE texas.

Yes, if all plays out as hinted at. Still a pretty fluid situation, so it's all subject to change. The reality is bad flooding is likely looking west of Lafayette and getting worse the farther you go west.

New Orleans is in a dicey situation with the proximity to the gulf and an effective frontal boundary that could serve to focus some bands over them. The BR/River Parishes/Northshore looks to avoid significant flooding issues as things stand right now.

They're hoping it just keeps things at the status quo, but 8k cfs combined is no joke.

A member of the Cajun Navy reports that they are being shot at while in Texas.
Clyde Cain told a host on HLN that rescuers were shot at when they couldn’t fit more people in their boats.
There are also reports out, by CNN, that suggest some in Houston are are attempting to rob the rescuers of their boats. One team’s boat broke down and while they were seeking shelter, locals attempted to steal their boat.
Some members of the “Cajun Navy” were forced to abort rescue efforts in areas of Houston due to the dangerous/hostile conditions.
A member of the Cajun Navy is scheduled to speak to Sean Hannity on the radio. CLICK HERE to listen.
We are following this developing story out of Texas. Please keep all of those risking their lives in your thoughts and prayers.

this is insanity... remember all those apocalyptic rainfall models? It's going to be worse


baytiger, you're not making me feel better. Do you really think SELA will get worse than 10 inches??

If true, it's more than infuriating, but at this point it's also unverified and similar to stories that came out of Katrina that turned out to be false.

I'm glad to hear that, but wouldn't the Northshore get the same feeder bands as New Orleans?

HRRR puts a pretty broad swath of 6-8" rainfalls across Louisiana. It might be overselling it a tad but the deep gulf moisture flow is there to potentially deliver on those numbers.



That is the parallel HRRR. It shows different totals than the HRRR for the same period. It is doing a better job of capturing the precipitation associated with the core of Harvey but it might be moving it too fast.

The 18z 3k NAM is also doing a decent job with the current setup. It it's showing 25-30"+ for the Houston area...
