Harvey has a Naked center

[Jim Cantore]

getting sheered still with no signs of lettin up

same happened to franklin naked center

More recent images off the GHCC site some convection increasing near the center.

You can see how the convection is beginning to wrap around the center on the southeast and east sides. The dry slot is also beginning to shrink some. I Harvey will get near hurricane strength if it continues organizing like it is now. Here is the link below for a visible satellite image of it. I am not sure, though, why the link is so long.

Not much shear over the top of Harvey - much less than yesterday, or even this morning. Convection is wrapping round the south side - I think this has a fair chance of getting to Cat-1 status by tomorrow morning.

You can do a URL tag like this instead and save everybody having to scroll left/right in the thread.

i.e. Like this:

[ url=http://your.url ]this[ /url ]

but minus the spaces.

The ULL is giving it fits pushing up right under it. It's hard to see in the visible loops. You can see in this loop 2 distinct lows both right next to each other (broadband only):

Well, the ULLs (snrk! ), no, uh, the SAL is (chortle! )... Maybe the - Bwaa-haa-haaw! He said "NEKKID!"

Harvey certainly looks MUCH better than yesterday. I say a Cat. 1 is definately possible. Or our 4th 70-mph TS of the season. That's starting to irritate me.

Looks like 92L made it after all. Kind of like Jeanne disappearing into Haiti and reemerging.


Any model plots for Harvey?

[HURAKAN]

Harvey looks much better now than it did 24 hours, which makes me believe that shear has lessened.

[WindRunner]

The convection is definately beginning to wrap around. I think that Harvey is just strong enough now to fight that ULL. It does look significantly more symmetrical, but there's still a while to go yet.

[superfly]

I think it has fought off the ULL already. The old ULL and Harvey's center seem to have merged or at least it looks that way in the big loop I posted, but I'm no expert.

This area of the Atlantic is not supporting weak, exposed LLC storms...
