I have checked a bunch of the short term models: HRRR, NAM, WRF. Unlike last night, the models are not unanimous on the rain training over the Houston metro area. One says the worst rain will stay west, one says east, and one says direct hit. Difference in where the worst rain bands set up will mean the difference between 4-6" and 6-12" additional rain in the Houston metro area.
Welllll... I got rescued Scarsdale and grapewood. Whole neighborhood under water.. came straight to a friends house. Can't find any info/pics or 45
ON fox26 they weather man is projecting it going back into GULF hand hitting Houston directly again Have a plan for tonight people, from here on everyone needs a lifejacket and something mobile to leave your home in a flood. They were projecting this first one to hit corpus and sit over houston 3-4 days ago, people didn't believe it
hurricane coming to houston is not what people need to worry about only Galveston, its the rain, don't stay in your home if its close to being flooded
Guy that run's this girls HS basketball / recruiting web/newsletter is Simmie Colson (father of Sidney Colson of Texas A&M fame)... he wrote up youngest daughter once:
This b*stard is going to spend a day in the Gulf. Hope that's not enough for the storm to give us one final punch with a stronger wind storm on its way outta here.

It's heading back to the Gulf, which could cause it to strengthen again before it comes right over Houston with some wind. Houston wouldn't be on the dirty side though with this track on Wednesday.
Unlikely that it will be able to strengthen much at all before a potential second (or third now?) landfall.
Coming back directly over Houston on Wednesday is probably one of the better scenarios since it would potentially bring less rain.
Keep your fingers crossed people. The weather people on KPRC are reporting some possibly "good" news. There is an area of dry area that Harvey seems to be sucking up. The dry area can weaken Harvey and eventually destroy it. Lets hope that this is true and holds up so even when it turns an goes back up north over Houston the rain bands should be much weaker and the heavier stuff will be pushed to the east. I hope that this holds up.
