ATL: HARVEY - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[JPmia]

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.

You're cutting it close buddy.. you'll definitely be driving in TS force winds.. get a move on it if you're going to brave it out.

Center moved 30nm over the last 3 hrs and it's 35nm from the coast now. That puts landfall by 7pm this evening if it doesn't slow down.

The eye has really become majestic this afternoon.

You cannot possibly be serious.

Thankfully the winds are not budging from the averaged 105kts.

[SunnyThoughts]

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

wobbling west-northwest now - CC not out of the woods yet!

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.

I read earlier where media was speaking to the mayor of Rockport, he said about 40% of the residents decided to stay in town.

129 kt FL winds. Already a borderline cat 4.

[Hypercane_Kyle]

Insane dropsonde from NOAA2: 125mph winds at the surface, max winds of 155mph at the 910mb level.

Recon just found 129kt flight level winds in the north east quad

Well.....wow.

[NDG]

Is making a run for Cat 4, IMO.

the northwestern eyewall will be reaching the coast in about 2 hours or so. Seidel is in port Lavaca on TWC and he is going to get rocked. we should get some great footage from him before dark.

[Kazmit]

Close to a cat 4 now, but also close to landfall. If this slows down only a little before landfall, I think Harvey could get there.

Yeah just saw the NOAA plane. I'd go with 110kts then.

[floridasun78]

i dont think safe for chaser to be in this hurr their few out in it

[3boover]

Lots of Tornado Warnings, the less talked about hazard with Harvey...

[RL3AO]

Trying to judge exactly where to go to get the eye.

We won't help you try to deliberately drive into the eye of a major hurricane.

[Aric Dunn]

Wow radar presentation is rapidly improving.. cat 4 is looking more likely
