And from the Altanta Fed: GDPNow

The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the third quarter of 2019 is 1.9 percent September 18, up from 1.8 percent on September 13. [Sept 18 estimate]

CR Note: The GDP estimates increased this week mostly due to better than expected housing starts and industrial production numbers. These estimates suggest real GDP growth will be around 2.0% annualized in Q3.
