AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
305 PM CDT SAT MAY 28 2005

.DISCUSSION...
A GOOD PART OF THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS
SAW SOME RAIN TODAY...BUT IT ENDED SOONER THAN EXPECTED. SUBSIDENCE
BEHIND THE ACTIVITY HAS KEPT ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT FROM OCCURRING.
WITH SEVERAL HOURS OF DAYTIME HEATING LEFT...THINK WE COULD STILL
GET SOME ISOLATED STORMS TO DEVELOP. IF ANYTHING DOES FORM...IT
SHOULD QUICKLY WEAKEN/DISSIPATE SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET. PROBLEM OVER
THE NEXT FEW DAYS (BEGINNING TONIGHT) WILL BE THE TIMING OF
SHORTWAVES MOVING ACROSS THE STATE AND HOW CLOSE TO SOUTHEAST TEXAS
WILL THEY GET. MODELS ARE NOT DOING A GREAT JOB SO FAR WITH THESE
DISTURBANCES. WE COULD VERY WELL SEE ANOTHER BATCH OF STORMS DEVELOP
TONIGHT AND MOVE ACROSS PORTIONS OF OUR AREA TOMORROW MORNING...
LEAVING SOME OF THE AFTERNOON DRY AGAIN (JUST LIKE TODAY). AND THE
SITUATION CHANGES LITTLE MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS THESE HARD TO
TIME IMPULSES MOVE ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS. WILL THEREFORE GO WITH
HIGHISH POPS (50%-60%) SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY...AND THEN LOWER THEM A
LITTLE (30% TO 40%) MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SOME
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL CANNOT BE RULED OUT OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS DUE TO HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES. UPPER RIDGING MIGHT GET
STRONG ENOUGH THURSDAY THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY...SO WENT WITH 20% POPS
FOR MAINLY AFTERNOON ACTIVITY. TEMPERATURES WILL CHANGE LITTLE ON
PREDICTED LOWS. WILL SHOW A GRADUAL WARMUP FOR DAYTIME HIGHS AS THE
UPCOMING WEEK PROGRESSES DUE TO EXPECTED LESS RAIN AND CLOUD COVER.

SPC HAS EXPANDED THEIR DAY TWO (SUNDAY) SLIGHT RISK AREA TO INCLUDE
ALL OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS. THERE ARE SOME INDICATIONS THAT PORTIONS OF
OUR AREA MIGHT GET VERY UNSTABLE (LIS -9 TO -10...CAPES AROUND
4000). WE MAY END UP NEEDING TO MENTION A CHANCE OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS IN TOMORROWS FORECAST. STAY TUNED 42
&&

.MARINE...
WINDS WILL PICK UP A LITTLE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS OVER THE WATERS. THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE
EXPECTED SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY WHERE WINDS/SEAS COULD BRIEFLY
REACH CAUTION CRITERIA OVER THE 20 TO 60 NM WATERS. WINDS/SEAS WILL
DROP OFF MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH MIDWEEK AS FRONT STALLS ACROSS SE TX.
SERIES OF SHORTWAVES WILL KEEP THREAT OF TSRA AND LOCALIZED ROUGH
SEAS IN PLACE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.  35
&&

.AVIATION...
PRECIP ASSOCIATED WITH SHORTWAVE CROSSING THE AREA HAS NOW PUSHED
EAST OF THE TAF SITES. SUBSIDENCE BEHIND EXITING SHORTWAVE WILL
LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTN...SO EXPECTING
ONLY ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA TO FIRE WITH DAYTIME HEATING AND ALONG THE
SEABREEZE FRONT. GIVEN THE EXPECTED LOW COVERAGE DID NOT MENTION ANY
PRECIP OR CBS IN THE TAFS THIS AFTN. EXPECT TO SEE GROUND FOG FORM
AGAIN LATE TONIGHT BUT WITH A LITTLE BETTER MIXING IN PLACE DO NOT
EXPECT VISIBILITIES AS TO DROP AS LOW AS THEY WERE THIS MORNING.
NEXT SHORTWAVE WILL AFFECT THE AREA BETWEEN 12Z AND 18Z SUNDAY WITH
THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT THREAT OF TSRA.  35
