Severe Thunderstorm Warning 18, NWS Houston/Galveston, TX

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
430 AM CDT FRI APR 21 2006

.DISCUSSION...
UPDATED...SPC HAS ISSUED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 231 IN EFFECT
THROUGH 14Z. SQUALL LINE GETTING ITS ACT TOGETHER. MAIN THRUST OF
THE LINE WILL BE E-SE TOWARD THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA. NEW ZONES
OUT SHORTLY. 43

ANOTHER CONVECTIVE COMPLEX HEADING TOWARD THE REGION. AT 08Z...A
COLD FRONT WAS LOCATED ALONG A SHV TO ACT TO JCT LINE. THE FRONT
IS PUSHING VERY SLOWLY SOUTH. A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH OR OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY EXTENDS FROM NEAR CALDWELL TO COTULLA. IT APPEARS THAT
THIS MORNINGS STORMS WILL FIRE ON THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND A FEW
STORMS COULD DEVELOP ON THE ACTUAL FRONT THIS AFTERNOON...
ESPECIALLY TOWARD THE COAST. GFS DRIES THINGS OUT RATHER QUICKLY THIS MORNING AND THINK
IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE TOO AGGRESSIVE WITH THE DRYING TREND. 250 MB
WINDS REMAIN DIVERGENT THROUGH 18Z AND A SPEED MAX WILL APPROACH
THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST. PWS WILL REMAIN ABOVE 1.5 INCHES
ALONG THE COAST...SO WILL MAINTAIN HIGHEST POPS NEAR THE COAST.
THE UPPER FLOW SHOULD BECOME CONFLUENT BY 21Z AND ANY LINGERING
PRECIP SHOULD END QUICKLY. WILL CARRY HIGH POPS FOR THIS MORNING
ALL AREAS AND MAINTAIN HIGH POPS FOR THE COAST INTO THIS
AFTERNOON. STILL ENOUGH INSTABILITY PRESENT...ESPECIALLY OVER THE
SOUTHERN ZONES TO GET AN ISOLATED SEVERE REPORT. WILL EVALUATE
JUST BEFORE PRESS TIME AND DECIDE ON ADDING SEVERE WORDING TO THE
ZONES.

THE COOL FRONT WORKING ACROSS THE REGION WILL YIELD COOLER
OVERNIGHT TEMPS BUT DAYTIME HIGHS SAT/SUN WILL STILL BE ON THE
WARM SIDE UNDER SUNNY/PT SUNNY SKIES.

NEXT WEEK IS LOOKING WETTER. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO DROP INTO
TEXAS AND STALL ALONG THE UPPER TEXAS COAST. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW
WILL MOVE INTO THE 4 CORNERS REGION WITH THE UPPER FLOW OVER TEXAS
BECOMING SOUTHWEST. THINK RAIN CHANCES WILL BEGIN TUES AND PERSIST
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. 43
