Re: Hurricane Harvey Nearly a Major Hurricane This Morning

Looking at the raw data, they've got an extrapolated surface pressure at 944 mb. and an uncontaminated SMFR of 88 knots just on their first north/south pass. There's really not much to stop the system from continuing to strengthen until near landfall, so another 12 hours or so for Harvey to continue to power up.
