Every one of the storms, including Harvey, are building in velocity.
The vortex street is intact, of which Harvey is the second storm, Lidia is the most southern. All the vortexes have tapped into a water vapor source. Water brings the capacity to hold more heat and with heat comes velocity. In case it is not easy to discern, the most northern of the vortex street is near Iceland. I can imagine what is occurring over the Greenland ice sheet right now. It's meander has probably increased dramatically. The Greenland ice sheet is monitored for a meander in case it becomes unstable and slides into the Atlantic. Such an event would cause a coastal tsunami of some height all the way to Antarctica.

This is the path of Lidia. The Baja is going to be underwater now.

Large incident fires on map to the right, in the northwest where conditions are abnormally dry according to the US Drought Monitor above.Hopefully, Lidia will continue moving north along the coast to extinguish some significant fires.
There is one fire, the Pier Fire, in central California.
