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 is not likely to strengthen any more before landfall, and should begin to slowly weaken over land tomorrow. The official National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecast calls for Harvey to become a post-tropical remnant low on Friday. The flood threat with Harvey continues across southeastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana.

I will be back tomorrow with another post discussing Harvey as well as Invest 93L. NHC now gives 93L a 90 percent chance of development within 48 hours and five days. Potential Tropical Cyclone Ten has acquired extratropical characteristics and is no longer expected to develop into a tropical cyclone.
