Last few frames of satellite and radar loops for Harvey seem to show a flair up of showers/energy right near the center of circulation. If that mother fricker gets its act together, I wouldn't be surprised if it made landfall as a Cat 1.

Why didn't the storm drop to a tropical depression when it was over land for so long?

Yeah south of LC has been slammed. The good news is the population is incredibly sparse in that area.

this is exactly what the euro predicted 5+ days ago and almost in the exact position that current models are pointing

Not that I witnessed, but I was gone most of day. Possible that it got all drained out before I got home

Dude, put a more direct disclaimer that what you posted was from a few days ago.

The euro had like ten different predictions. It is not surprising that one of them was correct.

The Euro whiffed badly on the strength though.



I realize everyone is gun shy after the flooding last year and what not, but this thing is not strengthening given its setup. Dry air is consistently infiltrating the core of Harvey. It takes more than just warm water to strengthen a storm.

Anyone hear anything about the condition of the reservoirs and dams near Houston? Are they holding?

Supposedly there is a presser later this morning.

Nothing can handle what Baton Rouge saw last year or what Houston is seeing now.

Stay calm until you know what's happening. It's likely that Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and New Orleans will see some rain. Just be prepared for the worst even though it is very unlikely to happen.
