Harvey nearing its second landfall in southwestern Louisiana

Harvey nearing its second landfall in southwestern Louisiana

Tropical Storm Harvey is expected to make its second landfall over southwestern Louisiana early tomorrow morning. As of 10:00 p.m. CDT (11:00 p.m. EDT), Tropical Storm Harvey was centered near 29.0°N 93.6°W, and was moving northeastward at about 6 mph. Maximum sustained winds were 45 knots (50 mph) with an estimated minimum pressure of 994 mb. Harvey is a disorganized tropical cyclone, with an appearance resembling that of a sheared June Gulf of Mexico storm (like Cindy from this year). Harvey…

Harvey re-enters the Gulf of Mexico, PTC 10 becoming less likely to develop, Invest 93L likely to develop

Harvey re-enters the Gulf of Mexico, PTC 10 becoming less likely to develop, Invest 93L likely to develop

Tropical Storm Harvey restrengthened slightly today as it has emerged into the extreme northwestern Gulf of Mexico, but remains poorly organized and most of the convection is to the northwest of the center. Harvey is likely to make a second landfall in extreme eastern Texas or even western Louisiana early on Wednesday. Although Harvey is centered over water, the flood threat remains for Southeastern Texas. Potential Tropical Cyclone Ten has failed to develop a well-defined center of circulation today, and…

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

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…

Harvey expected to regenerate – a potential major flooding threat for Texas

Harvey expected to regenerate – a potential major flooding threat for Texas

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

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

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…

Remnants of Harvey likely to regenerate, 92L could still develop, Hurricane Kenneth rapidly intensifies into a major hurricane over the Eastern Pacific

Remnants of Harvey likely to regenerate, 92L could still develop, Hurricane Kenneth rapidly intensifies into a major hurricane over the Eastern Pacific

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…

Harvey opens up into a wave over the central Caribbean

Harvey opens up into a wave over the central Caribbean

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

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…

Gert now extratropical, Tropical Storm Harvey forms east of the Lesser Antilles, 92L likely to develop

Gert now extratropical, Tropical Storm Harvey forms east of the Lesser Antilles, 92L likely to develop

Hurricane Gert transitioned into a post-tropical cyclone Thursday afternoon after its circulation became very elongated and became associated with frontal boundaries. As soon as Gert transitioned into an extratropical cyclone, however, Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine developed into Tropical Storm Harvey east of the Windward Islands. Harvey is expected to approach the Windwards as a tropical storm, and tropical storm warnings have been issued for parts of the area. East of Harvey is Invest 92L, which has a high chance to…
