At least, it's usually a "dry" heat (already 106f at 12:30pm today), but thunderstorms are a possibility this afternoon which will cool down the heat slightly but make it more humid
I know, since "most" storms lose power when they hit land. Harvey's just doesn't want to give up. ~shakes head~It's pretty amazing that Harvey is still packing a punch!
Welcome to the HiveWire forums mpd, and glad to hear you survived Harvey.Just wringing out stuff from Harvey's passage of the last week or so...

The flood area is so far and wide that it is acting like part of an ocean, feeding warm moisture up into Harvey. “You only need about 50 percent of the land to be covered with water for that to happen,” Masters says. “Obviously we have more than that in Texas.”
That definitely makes sense, since the Gulf Coast is a huge area, and with Harvey's diameter, it's still stretching enough to be partially over the water. It's not getting north enough to peter out yet.Essentially ... Harvey is still over water rather than land.
