August 2017: Looking Back at Harvey 5 Year Later
Hey im not one to overly hype and certainly never believe in fixating on one model run.
But if the 0z gfs actually were to happen it would literally be catastrophic for SE Texas.
Run isnt even over yet and parts of our area would be in a tropical storm until at least next Thursday. No breaks, i meant a constant tropical storm.

prolonged heavy rain and flooding threat from Harvey...
Harvey has undergone an eyewall replacement and the rapid
intensification slowing. One of Harvey`s spiral bands moving into
the coastal areas around 1030 pm this evening. Winds gradually
increasing this evening and expect seas to build quickly overnight
becoming dangerous Friday. Showers should become more numerous
toward morning along with gustier winds across the inland areas.
Harvey track only has very minor changes with no significant
changes to the forecast for Southeast Texas with this update.

This GFS run is actually making me wonder I shouldn't evacuate.
The 0z GFS would be truly historical if it panned out

All the while, in the spirit of being prepared and probably taking things a bit too far, I am also somewhat considering whether to buy an inflatable boat tomorrow just in case things go from bad to worse to unimaginable.txsnowmaker wrote:I wouldn't make any decision just based on one run of one model.javakah wrote:This GFS run is actually making me wonder I shouldn't evacuate.

Meaning the GFS has Harvey wandering from Corpus, near Houston, to up near Marshall. IF that model holds up, there will be a lot more inland flooding north of Houston than originally anticipated.javakah wrote:What do you mean?DoctorMu wrote:...to nowhere in east Texas, that's for sure.don wrote:The 0z GFS would be truly historical if it panned out

Little to no shear, upper 80s bath water and slower movement

Anyone see HWRF dumping 60 inches of rain in Houston. That's more than our YEARLY average.
