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.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
