Similar rainfall totals?

GFS is 40+ inches.
Euro is 30+ inches.
Euro has it making multiple landfalls and intensifying. Euro also has it moving faster at hour 168 out of Texas than GFS, which is why it is 10 inches lower in rainfall. It moves quickly into LA and up into TN over next 48 hours post second landfall.
Either way, both models point to a major event, with arguably the Euro causing more coastal damage while GFS shows more inland flooding.

Dallas only looks like the least amount of rain based off the color scales.
Fort Worth is like the second least. Didn't see Denton, look at previous pages.

NASA IR is showing rapid build up of thunderstorms and near constant lightning around Harvey's core.

Julios is the only good thing about having to go to Del Rio. My grandparents used to live close to the pace factory way back when.

GFS spends more time over land. Euro brings it back offshore.
Still a lot of rain on the Euro (up to 30 inches in places) but not as biblical as the GFS.
ha my friend's parents own a ranch near del rio. The first time i ever went there they had a huge Tupperware tub labled "Julio's" and i was like who's julio? And they laughed. I had never heard of the chips before then.

This is the HWRF Hurricane modeler simulated IR near-landfall within 54 hours, and in the past 24 hours this model has increased in intensity. So take this guy and hang it over Texas for at least a full 72 hours if not more.
EDIT: The finishing EURO model has this being a strong storm / rain maker from TN to Maryland next week.

Its probably very hard to predict the path of a depression. Once it gets back up to TS strength, maybe the models will be more in agreement
GFS and Euro seem to be in agreement that it'll make first landfall in South Texas, hang around for a bit then go back out to the Gulf, strengthen, and then...
Bad, bad news for LA. Considering the state they're already in with flooding, this is worst-case scenario.
The pumps are fucked. So we are fucked.

As worried as I am for my area, I'm doubly worried for you guys. I hope they're wrong.
That shit always floods. I have no idea if they have improved drainage over the years knowing what they know now.
You gonna be swimming with the Herman Park ZOO animals!

I wonder if we'll see significant flooding in South Austin/Hays county area. Idk what our rivers look like now, but 2 or 3 weeks ago, the Blanco was bone dry.

Still just a tropical depression as of the 4pm update. Perhaps that dry air will play a factor in keeping this system from developing. It was supposed to be a TS by now already....
It's still a ways out, but the weather in Austin has rapidly changed today. Was clear and hot before noon and now it's 10 degrees cooler and scattered storms. Austin doesn't get scattered storms this time of year unless something significant in the gulf is pushing moisture up here.

Don't worry. Katrina proved that a measly natural disaster that kills thousands isn't going to get in the way of an NFL schedule.Nooooo!!! I need to see Savage lead the Texans to the Super Bowl

True. El Paso and Amarillo GAF may be okay too. Thread needs to say Texas Coast GAF
And your battery banks.
I'm digging it, we're already getting hit with scattered storms here at the arcade. One good lightning strike and our ac will be fried for another two months
Probably a good idea. It can't hurt

It wasn't forecast to be a TS until 0000Z. There is no recon out there at the moment so no way of knowing exactly what the pressure and strength is. Only very gradual strengthening is expected over the next 24 hours or so anyway. Rainfall will most likely be the main concern for Texas anyway.
