This going to be another snoozer of a season?
I feel like the last really active one was like a decade or so ago.

A little early to declare a snoozer season when it's just about to be August

Worth keeping an eye on Invest 92L. Looks like it could be taking a dangerous path if it develops.

We haven't been fucked in September since Ike in 2008 really. Seems like most of the tropical activity in my lifetime has been in June ( for Houston)

this could be a real pain in my side. I plan on going to puerto rico next week and this could affect my travel plans

Invest 92L hasn't developed into much, but Texas really needs to keep an eye on the remains of Harvey now because the latest models are showing it redeveloping once it gets in the the Gulf. The latest GFS run is probably the worst case scenario : a landfalling Cat 4 major hurricane happening this Friday.
It could also be a very slow moving system once it reaches Texas, dumping a lot of rain.

40 inches? That almost sounds Biblical

Surely an outlier...
Damn GFS, calm down.

18z runs tend to be outliers especially further out. Wait for 00z

Another look at that GFS:
KPRC (Houston's NBC affiliate) just showed their latest model run of the system and have it going to northern Mexico, not affecting Houston one bit. Meteorology is just a guessing game
yeah. That's from WAFB in Baton Rouge. It's barely been a year since the big flooding and it seems they want to err on the side of oh shit.

The latest Euro model shows this hanging around Texas for a number of days, dumping a lot rain. Would be 1-2 feet of rain in places.
Each frame is 24 hours.
A big question mark over intensity (always the hardest thing to forecast). Somewhere between a strong tropical storm and a Cat 2 hurricane looks likely at the moment.
The NAM is at the other end of the scale with this madness.
(lol)

Nooooo I hope its not as bad as this!
I'm really worried now, better stock up on supplies today.

IDK if Louisiana is even ready. actually i know New Orleans isnt.

It's actually expected to strengthen. Last advisory puts Harvey back up to hurricane strength, expecting it to intensify to a major hurricane before landfall;

I don't live in Texas but I do live in the Southeast. I'll be topping my gas tank off this evening just in case this thing messed up gas lines or refineries. Best wishes to those living on the Texas coast and many miles inland. This storm has terrible potential.

I guess the other thread will be more active with updates but anyone know if we have live streams of Hurricane chasers yet?

So IF Harvey makes landfall as a cat. 3, it will be the first major hurricane to make landfall on US Soil since Wilma in 2005?

I believe that is the case
Yep. First major storm since the year of death.

There must have been several close calls. Like Ike in 2008, for instance, was probably downgraded to a cat. 2 just a few miles before landfall. And superstorm Sandy was technically not a tropical system. Lots of close calls but no cigar
