Re: ATL: HARVEY - Models
Wow. Not as familiar with Texas geography, but would this run bring tropical storm conditions to San Antonio, Austin and Houston?

I wouldn't go that far yet. We're getting to the point in time where the models should start to lock in the next few runs. A TX landfall looks likely right now.
SW LA might....all depends where that ULL and trof timing and any center relos...very complicated but worse case scenario is something to bomb out 84-96hrs out worst MET's nightmare.

I'm confused on why it's barely a TS right until 24 hours before landfall when it'll be over water for a good 3 days after it emerges into the BOC.

Louisiana is out of play here clearly it barely has a chance to hit Texas I think corpus is as far as this will hit on first landfall !!!
However it could stall and go back over the gulf afterwards ! Southern texas needs to prepare

That's a lot of strong wording IMO. While it does look like southern Texas is favored, it's still too early. 18z GFS trended north on a trend that has already been north. So with 4-5 days left before Harvey gets close to land areas, expect the track to shift as models have a had hard time even in the short range.

Re: ATL: HARVEY - Models

I agree. Still way way way too early to call anything. Let us get recon in there and let the models ingest the data.

Re: ATL: HARVEY - Models
Let this be the first (and certainly not the last) moderator note to all that should this system get its act together and threaten landfall in the USA, we will be cracking down on unsupported posts. You can have an opinion and express it here and we welcome that. But you better support those "it's not going there, it's going here" posts with some evidence.

October 1837 – The Racer's Storm becomes the first hurricane on record to affect the entire Texas coastline. It first strikes near Brownsville on October 1, where it destroys most of the ships on Brazos Island.[4] Turning northeastward into the Gulf of Mexico, the hurricane approaches Galveston on October 6, bringing a storm tide of at least 6 ft (1.8 m) which floods all of Galveston Island.[5] The storm destroys most of the buildings in Galveston, and across the coast, ships are washed ashore up to 3 miles (5 km) inland. It continues northeastward and leaves the state near Sabine Pass, after causing at least two deaths in the state.[4]
What it doesn't say here is that after skirting the Texas coast it turned and moved along the entire La. coast affecting Lake Ponchartrain and New Orleans. Of course it was an October storm. But the track makes it one for the ages. The Euro run brought this storm to mind.
Thanks!

Yeh I don't see how the Louisiana coast is out of play? Appears 12z euro sends it back east into the Gulf in the long range. Lots of changes still plausible . I think anywhere in Gulf is still in play.

I still think the most likely place for landfall will be in south TX, but wow, what a trend by the models since Saturday. On Saturday many of us wrote this system off (including myself) because it looked like it was going towards Veracruz.

All of Texas need to monitor this system.

Re: ATL: HARVEY - Models
So here's a question. We obviously see the models all over the place but still continuing to move more north with each run. Are they being initialized in the correct location considering there's no well defined CoC? And if that's the case, how accurate can they really be at this point? I still think we're looking at a TexMex solution, but these northern jumps are downright concerning.

Yep and it looks to be coming in a bit farther south as well so far.
HMON looks similar to 12z in track, but it's stronger as well.

The 18z HMON looks similar to the 18z GFS.
18z GEFS coming in fairly bullish.
