The rain shield seems to be peeling back to the west. Hopefully that dry air will make it hard for Harvey to drag more moisture out of the gulf as we get into the evening hours

The so called dry slot is intensifying per my trained eye on the radar.

It's been raining all day in Stafford, and been getting hammered for about the last hour. Very scared and worried. My heart and head are just aching watching these images and seeing the roadways.

I am flying into Austin tomorrow, and trying to drive back to Houston. Are there any roads open into the nw side of town, 1960/Bammel N. Houston area?

Harvey looks to be gaining strength and getting wrapped up tightly

Hmm, that's not what it's looking like to me on radar. Looking to me like it's remained about the same (with the huge band over Houston very slowly weakening).
But the big thing to me is that it's looking like the center has picked up a bit of speed moving east (with the center just about to pass south of Houston, offshore).

It looks to me like Harvey is moving east at a fairly fast pace right now. Does anyone else agree or am I looking at it wrong?

Sure looking like that to me as well.

If it continues east at that speed we won't be dealing with Harvey anymore in a matter of hours

Is it possible Harvey pulls a Humberto?

From there I was able to line up a hotel and get to it. I don't know when I'll be able to go back home. I'm good now but nervous about my home near Dickinson. I just want this to stop for everyone.
OMG, I can't even imagine. Glad to hear you are safe!
Thanks

The system does appear to be directly south of the area scooting east putting more of the area under ne flow which is better than se flow. Could cut off the rains sooner.

That darn Gulf sure affects these storms which just suck up that warm gulf water. If this monster stalls just a fraction here or there can make all the difference in who gets what tonight, tomorrow. I'm leaving my truck as elevated as I can get it because this isn't over by any stretch. Remember, the forecast didn't have us getting the catastrophic flooding until about 24 hours after we already got it. Meteorologist, my heart goes out to you predicting something so unpredictable.
The dry slot is near Beaumont and Lake Charles now. Harvey's inner core is protecting itself...and parked near Houston, unfortunately.
