ATL: HARVEY - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[BRweather]

HRRR 22Z is showing this slow down very nicely

[wkwally]

traffic maps are showing congestion on I-35 right now in Corpus

[South Texas Storms]

Looks like it's letting off the accelerator as it approaches the coast.

Euro had something similar a few runs ago...can you imagine this not going inland then tracking up the coast!!

That is very unlikely. None of the latest model guidance is showing this happening.

If you are in the hot zone right now, know my prayers are with you. Listening to HAM radio operators channel traffic back and forth...Corpus Christi just ordered their police units to "secure in place", they WILL NOT be responding tonight. Fire/EMS is likely to be in the same boat. Listen to me very carefully; DO NOT TAKE ANY CHANCES. If you are in the path of this thing, stay put at this point, stay in a basement or interior (windowless) bathroom, and TAKE SHELTER. You can cover yourself with a mattress if necessary, to protect yourself from debris. If you are in a surge zone, pick an upper floor, interior room, preferably without windows. Keep a HAM radio and flashlight handy. DO NOT USE CANDLES.

I am thinking about my fellow Fire/EMS guys down in TX tonight. Stay safe, brothers, please. I don't want to get a LODD notification because of this storm. Secure yourselves, and be safe.

I'm not sure you want to be in a basement given how much rain this is about to dump on people's heads. If you are, you need to be prepared to move up away from rising flood waters. Wind can kill you, but water will kill you.

It's still going to go inland all of the models show this.

[Cunxi Huang]

Aransas Pass gust 100.9 mph at 6:18 pm CDT

[Digital-TC-Chaser]

Slowing & turning left perpendicular advance to coastline = core will tighten and the storm intensifies.

[otowntiger]

I'm seeing a northward jog of the eye in the last 15-20 minutes of the radar loop. That may spare the city of Corpus Christi the southwestern eyewall if it keeps up.

I was just about to say the same exact thing. Of course it could wobble right back west, especially now that it has slowed meaning wobbling and meandering is quite possible.

[Aric Dunn]

I though I saw a slight wobble to the north. but it didn't last long if it did or it was just the odd shaped eyewall briefly.

[sphelps8681]

Have not been on in a few hours and caught the very end of a local forecast and spaghetti models shown looked to go more west. Or is this just the start of the loop? Is this still heading east toward Tx/la border?

Not many basements in Corpus

Indeed. It all depends on where you are, hence my mention about the surge zone. Guess I should have included "flood/surge" zone in that.

Hurricane Harvey has intensified by 85 kt in the last 48 hours. This is why accurately forecasting rapid intensification is so important. From a TD to landfalling Cat 4 in two days.

I-35 or i-37?

Unfortunately there are no basements or storm cellars in this neck of the woods. Water table is too high.

I think he meant 37. 35 goes to Laredo.

No easy task...but you pros are the best at what you do, so keep it up! NHC/NWS did a good job of getting the word out early...I just hope people listened.

Bah, I missed that. That's what I get for reading on mobile at work -_- Apologies!

Just going to repost this here incase anyone from the impact zone is posting in this thread:
