I hope that no one has a camper in the Rio Grand Valley now:
....there could be a tremendous quantity of rain coming for the RGV Friday/Saturday. I hope this doesn't materialize!

....OK...the best ensemble track from the NHC this morning has the strike zone close to Corpus C (235 kilometers from storm center as I write). The QPF 5-day accumulation data from this morning has the 4 inch band very close to the RGV, and 2 to 3 inches over the RGV...
Hard to say what will happen in the RGV from overland flow from possible 10 ~ 20 inches over 5 days coming from terrain to the north into the RGV watershed. Flood gauges will show this in real time.
Also, its hard to say just how long the rains (and Harvey) will linger...it looks like Harvey will stall and spin till ~~late 28th near Corpus C.....
....I (personally) wouldn't want to be 156 straight line kilometers from a potential Cat 2 (or, 3) as Brownsville is as I write.
Your mileage may vary :B
Good luck!
