It isn't.

16 hours ago the pressure was 995 mb
10 hours ago the pressure was 982 mb
7 hours ago the pressure was 979 mb
4 hours ago the pressure was 976 mb
an hour ago the pressure was 974 mb
now the pressure is about 972 mb.

Winds have not responded to the pressure drop yet. Still around 75kts.

Is it possible due to it's large size that pressure resembles a major hurricane but winds never get higher than upper-end Cat.2 intensity a lot like Alex (2010)?

Pressure pretty much holding steady. Once those storms wrap around the northern side and sustain you will see the CDO become quite symmetric, the pressure will crash and the eye will clear very fast. Some on here will once again be amazed at how quickly it is deepening. This is the pause before the run to cat 3 and higher.

This really isn't that large of a system right now

Winds have stayed the same though, as WXman57 said below your post here.

It'll resemble a major hurricane because it will be a major hurricane. Likely with a sub 950 mb pressure.

The Euro is almost always bad at initializing with correct intensity. That being said, I don't want to go off topic and create a model debate.

I think as Harvey gets closer to the coast it'll begin to get its act together more rapidly.

A word of caution to anyone out there who is betting against Harvey undergoing RI prior to landfall. All you have to do is look at storms from the past to realize what potential is there. The first storm that came to my mind was Charley. Charley's strength caught many by surprise. Go on YouTube and lookup HurricaneTrack.com's Charley landfall video where they hid out under an overpass of I-75 as the eye went overhead. You could hear the anxiety in Mark's voice as Charley was battering them. Don't let your guard down and don't let Harvey fool you.

So? I define a storm as intensifying when its pressure drops. The laws of physics say the wind will increase barring an eyewall replacement.

You are the MET, and you know more than I do. However, as far as category it hasn't moved since the upgrade to hurricane, but it has dropped in pressure quite a bit. How long will it take for winds to catch up?

Pressure has been dropping about 1mb/hour since morning. Pretty steady intensification.

No way to know. But if the pressure keeps falling, the winds will increase.

Another perspective, rather than from the air.

Closest Buoy to the NE of Harvey.
