Tropical Storm Harvey causing catastrophic flooding over Texas, Potential TC Ten likely to develop off Southeastern United States Coast

Tropical Storm Harvey has continued to dump torrential rainfall over Southeastern Texas today, causing catastrophic flooding. The flooding is expected to continue for several days as Harvey moves very slowly, possibly re-emerging into the extreme northwestern Gulf of Mexico. Aside from Harvey, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) has initiated advisories on Potential Tropical Cyclone Ten, which is expected to develop into a tropical cyclone on Monday before it eventually merges with a cold front. There is also a tropical wave…

Just a tropical depression 24 hours ago, Harvey rapidly intensified today into the third hurricane of the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season.

Regenerated Harvey likely to make landfall in South Texas as a strong tropical storm or hurricane, heavy rain the main threat

The remnants of Harvey regenerated into a tropical depression over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico Wednesday morning after convective organization improved and an Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft confirmed the presence of a closed, but broad, circulation. Harvey has become a little better organized throughout the day, with its central pressure falling a little while winds have remained steady. Harvey likely will not strengthen much during the next 12-24 hours due to its current broad structure, but by late tomorrow…

The remnants of Tropical Storm Harvey crossed the Yucatan Peninsula today and have recently emerged into the eastern Bay of Campeche. Ex-Harvey is expected to regenerate into a Tropical Depression or Storm tomorrow or Thursday, and is likely to make landfall in south-central Texas by late Friday. After that time, it is possible that Harvey could meander for several days, possibly causing serious flooding. As of 00:00 UTC Wednesday, the remnants of Harvey were centered near 20.8°N 90.9°W, and were moving…

Harvey expected to regenerate over the Western Gulf of Mexico, 92L still could develop, Kenneth beginning to weaken

Comments 0 Comment

The remnants of Tropical Storm Harvey have not become much better organized today, and are unlikely to redevelop into a tropical cyclone prior to crossing the Yucatan Peninsula. However, Harvey’s remnants are expected to emerge into the Bay of Campeche on Wednesday, and are expected to continue on a west-northwestward to northwestward path. Conditions are expected to be favorable for development over the Gulf of Mexico, and Harvey could strike Northern Mexico, Texas, or perhaps even Louisiana as a strong…

The remnants of Tropical Storm Harvey have changed little in organization today, but are likely to regenerate, either over the Gulf of Honduras or Bay of Campeche. Aside from Harvey, Invest 92L east of the Bahamas has a medium chance of developing into a tropical cyclone during the next five days over the western Atlantic Ocean. In the Eastern Pacific, Tropical Storm Kenneth rapidly intensified into a hurricane this morning, and is now likely going to become a category 3…

Tropical Storm Harvey struggled today, weakening into a tropical depression earlier this afternoon. Since then, a reconnaissance aircraft investigated the storm and was unable to close off a well-defined center of circulation.  The National Hurricane Center (NHC) downgraded Harvey to a remnant low at 11:00 p.m. EDT. As of 11:00 p.m. EDT Saturday, the Remnants of Harvey were centered near 14.3°N 71.8°W, and was moving westward at about 22 mph. Maximum sustained winds were 30 knots (35 mph), with an estimated…

Harvey remains disorganized over the Eastern Caribbean, but could strengthen later, 92L becoming less likely to develop

Tropical Storm Harvey has changed little in organization since yesterday as it has dealt with moderate easterly wind shear, fast movement and dry mid-level air. The center of circulation is not particularly well defined, and significant strengthening is unlikely for the next day or two. However, conditions could become more favorable for strengthening as Harvey enters the western Caribbean Sea by early next week if it manages to avoid land interaction with the Honduras and Nicaragua.  The model guidance is…
