With Harvey now strengthening at a faster rate than indicated in previous advisories, the intensity forecast has become quite concerning. Water vapor images indicate that the cyclone's outflow is expanding--indicative of low shear--and Harvey will be moving over a warm eddy of high oceanic heat content in the western Gulf of Mexico in about 24 hours. As a result of these conditions, several intensity models, including the ICON intensity consensus, are now explicit showing Harvey reaching major hurricane intensity. What's more astounding is that some of the SHIPS Rapid Intensification indices are incredibly high. As an example, the guidance is indicating a 70 percent chance of Harvey's winds increasing by 45 kt over the next 36 hours. Based on this guidance, the NHC official intensity forecast now calls for Harvey to reach major hurricane strength by 36 hours, before it reaches the middle Texas coast.
36-48 hours a cat 3 hurricane is about to drench Texas and blow around a shit ton of tumbleweed. Hopefully it goes where the roads are empty and not populated. May bring up to 24 inches of rain in some locations.
Supposed to strengthen to a cat 3 hurricane as it comes ashore late Fri/early Sat in Texas, then sit in place for a few days and rain a few feet. Major flooding will unfortunately ensue. It's not gonna be good. Wife has rels in Texas - they're worried.
track forecast has been pulled back a bit and keeps Harvey near or just inland of the Texas coast through the middle of next week. Harvey could maintain tropical storm strength for the entire 5-day forecast period due to its proximity to the northwestern Gulf of Mexico.

Looking at those Weather Maps
Looking at those Weather Maps, it is obvious that the Ultra-Right-Wing Lesbian weather Witches have conjured up this [particular] Hurricane.
Target is clearly Left-leaning Austin who(m) have one of the best TV shows, "Austin City Limits".
The URWLWW are behind the Scenes in Nashville, and this Hurricane is a Message to the Austin rebels, with their Hearts in the right place.
Once again, the Soros cult is the major financial influence behind this destructive effort against Coëxistênce.
This week, it's Texas. Next week, perhaps South Dakota ??
