Tropical Storm HARVEY (Text)

ZCZC MIATCDAT3 ALL
TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM
TROPICAL STORM HARVEY DISCUSSION NUMBER  19
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
11 PM EDT SAT AUG 06 2005

AFTER MOST OF THE DAYLIGHT HOURS WITH HARVEY'S CIRCULATION
EXPOSED...LATEST SATELLITE IMAGES INDICATE THE CENTER IS TUCKED
UNDER THE CONVECTION ONCE AGAIN.  EVEN THOUGH THE STRONGEST WINDS
ARE MAINLY NORTHEAST OF THE CENTER...CONFIRMED BY A RECENT QUIKSCAT
PASS...THE OVERALL APPEARANCE OF HARVEY ON SATELLITE REMAINS
SURPRISINGLY GOOD. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTS A DIGGING SHORT WAVE
TROUGH EAST OF THE NORTHEAST U.S. COAST. THE APRROACHING TROUGH MAY
BE AIDING IN HARVEY'S PERSISTENCE IN REMAINING A 50 KT TROPICAL
STORM DUE TO TROUGH INTERACTION.  

HARVEY IS FINALLY SUSTAINING A NORTHEAST MOTION AT 040/8. AS THE
SHORT WAVE APPROACHES...THE STEERING FLOW SHOULD ACCELERATE HARVEY
SLIGHTLY TO THE NORTHEAST OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO.  THEREAFTER...
HARVEY IS FORECAST TO BEGIN EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION AS THE STORM
MOVES OVER THE COLD NORTH ATLANTIC WATERS.  GLOBAL MODELS CONTINUE
TO SHOW THAT EXTRATROPICAL HARVEY MAY LINGER FOR A FEW DAYS IN
EASTERN ATLANTIC.
