ATL: HARVEY - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[Langinbang187]

I thought landfall was not going to be until later tonight or tomorrow AM? At least that is what I was seeing last night on the weather channel. Is it landfalling faster than expected?

Look at the image post this post. This thing is pretty darn close to making landfall. Can't see landfall waiting until the AM.

If it could just jog a little more north, it would landfall on a wildlife refuge...very sparsely populated there and Port Aransas/ Rockport and Corpus would be somewhat spared at least the wind damage. Hoping for that.

As if everyone else hasn't, I have been watching the track on satellite today. If Harvey continues on the apparent current path, which I would say is NNW I think Harvey will come in almost right over Matagorda Bay. Jmho. I don't even want to think about the path after that if the models are anywhere near right!!
Things are ramping up all along the coast now including multiple tornado warnings along the coast at this time, radar indicated.

My question are they gonna consider it landfall when it hits the barrier islands or the main land?

Both will be considered landfalls.

The western eyewall is getting so intense it's preventing the northern and eastern parts from showing up well on Corpus Christi radar, as they're showing up on Galveston's.

So there is a good chance Harvey could have multiple landfalls if he decides to staircase his way up the coast.

Agreed.....it's moved so close so quickly. Just curious if there was a new estimated landfall.

Judging by the Corpus Christi radar, it looks like landfall is only 2 or 3 hours out unless Harvey slows down his forward speed.

I'm located in Jefferson County, I have family that lives in Orange County, and I have family that Lives in Austin Texas, Are either one of these places safe to evacuate to? I feel like Orange County and Austin Are going to receive something from this. i don't think its safe to stay here in Beaumont Texas, especially in my neighborhood where it floods the roads with just a hour heavy downpour.

I would check the nhc link here and click on the maps for rainfall potential and the wind map. Might be easier to decide from them

And definitely coming in ahead of schedule?

This is awesome, thank you so much.

what highest wind reporter on beach look could be close to hurr power?

Guys can you give me a rough estimate for the time eyewall at Victoria?

I'm going to leave Houston around 11pm.

About 2 hours to safety in Victoria.

Quite a few mid to high 90's from sets of both planes just now on sfmr.

According to this the eye is to the ENE of the forecast points, so when the next full advisory comes out there will be some changes to forecast points and many other things.

Yep it sure is. I think the landfall location will be very close to Rockport in a few hours. Port Aransas and Corpus could see the western eyewall though if this wobble continues.

You need to leave now if you want to have a chance of making it to Victoria safely, pretty soon I'm sure highways will be closed especially since Victoria is under a mandatory evacuation.
