Re: Hurricane Harvey Strengthening and Approaching Texas

From the NHC: Hurricane Harvey Advisory Number 22
Quote:
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the center
That is a pretty narrow band. So the wind is only really strong right around the eye. This might be why some of the data coming in shows lower winds - the core just missed that reporting station. However it still has some time to do another eye wall replacement cycle which normally causes the winds to spread out.
TS winds have reached the shore in the warning areas, it will be all downhill from here.
