			<div class="comment-content"><p>Two days ago, all the predictions were that Hurricane Harvey was going to sit there off the coast and pound Texas with rain.  Last night Harvey proceeded directly on shore.  Y&#8217;know, if the weather guessers can&#8217;t predict the weather two days out, perhaps they shouldn&#8217;t be trying to predict the climate in 2100.</p>

			<div class="comment-content"><p>No &#8211; not &#8216;all the predictions&#8217;.  Joe Bastardi at WeatherBell predicted it would go ashore and then slow to a crawl, muddle about, and slide NE up the Texas coast.  He was &#8216;spot on&#8217; in his &#8216;onshore and stall&#8217; prediction.  Let&#8217;s see how his further prediction holds up in the days to come&#8230;.</p>

<p>Err &#8211; No.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2017/08/22/hurricane-could-hit-texas-friday-with-flooding-rainfall/?utm_term=.9e360a3e0946" rel="nofollow">https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2017/08/22/hurricane-could-hit-texas-friday-with-flooding-rainfall/?utm_term=.9e360a3e0946</a></p>
<p>&#8220;The latest run of the skillful European global model (ECMWF) predicts a strong tropical storm or hurricane will make landfall near the Texas-Mexico border area on Friday afternoon.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;The European model is part of an overall model consensus that forecasts a strong tropical storm or hurricane to come ashore between Brownsville and Houston.&#8221;</p>

			<div class="comment-content"><p>Earlier, I posted a reply to another comment which appears to have been deleted, which explained hurricane naming conventions. The names alternate between male and female names. See </p>
<p><a href="http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutnames.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutnames.shtml</a></p>
<p>In 2012, Sandy was in the position of a female name, and Harvey was a male name in 2017.</p>
<p>Which makes Harvey a himacane.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m hoping that groaner jokes aren&#8217;t cause for deletion.</p>

			<div class="comment-content"><p>Light to nonexistent steering winds, makes it very difficult to forecast once it stalls.<br />
 In the past, we have seen storms linger for days while the forecasts were calling for it moving out.<br />
 Alison comes to mind as a storm which stayed over Texas for a very long time and caused a lot of flooding, even though it was only a T/S.<br />
 Tropical storms seem to drop immense rains more frequently that hurricanes do.</p>

			<div class="comment-content"><p>Joe Bastardi and the team at WeatherBell have been warning about higher than normal water temps close into the US Gulf and East coasts and the potential for approaching tropical storms to rapidly develop into significant hurricanes close to shore.  Looks like Harvey is &#8216;first confirmation&#8217; for their predictions!</p>

<p>Joel &#8211; those colors are a scale for the temperatures. The warmer colors are grey (near surface) then get colder from white to blue, green yellow, red &amp; black. The reds/blacks are toward -60F to -80F &amp; these show the taller colder cloud tops.</p>

			<div class="comment-content"><p>While Harvey inflicted serious damage in Port Aransas and Rockport&#8230; and flooding is still a serious concern&#8230; Centerpoint Energy is the grid operator in the Houston area&#8230;</p>

<p>I commute from Dallas to Houston every week.  Thursday afternoon, I was convinced that Houston would be shut down on Friday and I wouldn&#8217;t be able to get back Sunday afternoon.  Now it looks like business as usual next week.</p>
<p>With hurricanes, erring on the side of hype is usually OK.  Harvey appears to be headed toward &#8220;boy who cried wolf&#8221; territory.</p>

			<div class="comment-content"><p>In teaching hurricane preparedness in Florida for 25 years, we always told coastal residence that they would likely have to evacuate 4 times for every time they were actually hit by the bad part of the storm.  That is simply the nature of the beast.  Harvey wobbled a little north before landfall, keeping Corpus Christi away from the eyewall.  A track 25 miles to the south and the pictures would be a whole lot worse.  </p>
<p>Houston was never a target for strong winds, and there are a lot of comments suggesting that the storm has been hyped.  To my recollection, the biggest threat for Southeast Texas has always been expected to be flooding.  We are only about 25% through the rain event, and Houston has already picked up about 6&#8243; of rain.  I would not plan on driving to Houston this week.</p>

			<div class="comment-content"><p>Very similar to Katrina, which was barely a Cat 1 after crossing the Atlantic and passing the Keys. Then it tracked a warm current that came from the Carribean into the Gulf and it rapidly gained strength. I don&#8217;t remember anyone who claimed (or could have claimed) that Katrina would just keep following that current. Laughingly, the global warming morons claimed Katrina&#8217;s strength due to &#8220;a warmer Atlantic Ocean&#8221;.  I get the strong feeling that we are dealing with (slow-witted) children</p>

			<div class="comment-content"><p>The Earth Wind Map is more in accordance with the values quoted by NOAA than anything I have heard on USA or International news bulletins.<br />
The unreliability or falseness of the media must be nearing a &#8220;tipping point&#8221;.<br />
That is the point at which we should all throw a bucket of sh*t over them.</p>

			<div class="comment-content"><p>It feels like MBAs are working at NOAA. &#8220;then rounded to 5-mph and 5-km/h increments, so as not to suggest that the  intensity of the storm can be known to unrealistic precision (e.g., 127 mph!)&#8221;. So the new numbers are for Cat 4 113-136 kt (209-251 km/h), Cat 5 137 kt or higher (252 km/h or higher). Unrealistic precision decisively defeated.</p>

			<div class="comment-content"><p>&#8230;so that would mean earlier hurricanes were likely stronger then their records indicate.</p>
<p>There are lots of wind gauge readings,  and they all survived and zero indicate Cat 4 at landfall.  Same with ocean buoy readings. And Cat 4 strength via ground observations after are not seen either.</p>

			<div class="comment-content"><p>The hurricane was such a damp squib that the catastrophiles are already retreating from direct observation to the much more familiar and comfortable world of dystopian projection. Now the storm is “to” cause disastrous flooding. “To” distract attention from the no-show of all the extravagant prognostications of hurricane disaster.</p>

I doubt if this one was even a Cat 3 let alone a 4, which our host seems happy to call it along with all the MSM.</p>

			<div class="comment-content"><p><i>AC Osborn &#8211; &#8220;I doubt if this one was even a Cat 3 let alone Cat 4&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Arguably, you are correct. The highest actual measured wind speed from any NOAA weather coastal buoys/staions was 49.4m/sec, 110.4mph, which is just below the 111mph threshold for a Cat 3. This measurement was made at ANPT2 station at Aransas Pass, <a href="http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/</a> . But the anemometer height at that station is 14m above the surface. The current NOAA definition for storm strength is wind speed at 10m above the surface and is an &#8220;estimation&#8221; (prior to Nov. 2015, it used to be just &#8220;surface&#8221;). So the estimated value for 10m wind speed should have been adjusted down. But if you check, you will see that NOAA&#8217;s &#8220;derived&#8221;/&#8221;estimated&#8221; 10m wind speed was actually higher than the 14m measured wind speed. That is a backwards adjustment. This can be verified by clicking on the Aransas Pass yellow diamond on the above map, then clicking on &#8220;Real Time Data&#8221;, then clicking on the &#8220;Real time standard meteorological measurements&#8221; &amp; the &#8220;Real time derived measurements data&#8221; links. The most recent 45 days worth of 6 minute data is available there. It appears that older data is only hourly.</p>

			<div class="comment-content"><p>Hurricane Carla was a Cat 4&#8230;<br />
175 mph (282 km/h) in Port Lavaca, 160 mph (260 km/h) in Matagorda, and 150 mph (240 km/h) in Aransas Pass, </p>
<p>Harvey with peak gusts 45 mph lower, was a Cat 2 at best.</p>
<p>Carla also spawned over 40 tornadoes and was not only far stronger, but larger.</p>

Most of the time cannot even make out general direction of storm system movement.  Cannot stand to watch them on the tube anymore, they&#8217;re so herky-jerky.</p>
