AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
353 PM CDT SAT JUN 21 2008

.DISCUSSION...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS OUR NORTHERN
COUNTIES ALONG AND AHEAD OF A WEAK SOUTHWARD SAGGING FRONTAL BOUNDARY.
SOME OF THESE STORMS HAVE BECOME SEVERE WITH AN ESTIMATED 60 MPH WIND
GUST IN LIVINGSTON (POLK COUNTY) AT 240 PM. MORE ISOLATED ACTIVITY IS
HAVING MORE DIFFICULTY DEVELOPING ALONG THE SEABREEZE FRONT AS THE BOUNDARY
WORKS INLAND. BOUNDARY AND STORM MERGERS ARE A DEFINITE POSSIBILITY
AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES WHEN THE SEABREEZE FRONT COLLIDES WITH THE
STUFF COMING DOWN FROM THE NORTH. ITS ALREADY IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S
ACROSS MUCH OF OUR CENTRAL AREAS (98 AT IAH AT 204 PM)...AND IT WILL
NOT TAKE MUCH FOR STORMS THAT DEVELOP AND/OR COLLIDE TO POSSIBLY BECOME
SEVERE AND PRODUCE BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL. ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH IN COVERAGE
AND INTENSITY THIS EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. WILL FORECAST
SLIGHTLY LOWER RAIN CHANCES TONIGHT THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEKEND
AND ON INTO THE START OF NEXT WEEK AS A SLIGHTLY DRIER AIRMASS SETTLES
INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTH. ENOUGH INSTABILITY IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
FOR THE BEST CHANCE OF RAIN (ALBEIT LOW) TO OCCUR DAILY ALONG AND AROUND
THE SEABREEZE FRONT NEAR THE COAST AND JUST INLAND. AROUND THE MIDDLE
OF NEXT WEEK...A WEAKNESS ALOFT WILL EXIST ACROSS OUR AREA WITH A STRONG
RIDGE TO OUR WEST AND A WEAKER RIDGE OFF TO OUR EAST. THIS WEAKNESS
COULD END UP BRINGING THE CURRENT DEEPER MOISTURE FOUND ACROSS THE CENTRAL
GULF OF MEXICO WESTWARD RESULTING IN BETTER RAIN CHANCES FOR PARTS OF
OUR AREA.  42
&&
.AVIATION...
SEABREEZE COLLIDING WITH OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WILL BRING SHRA/TSRA TO
IAH/HOU TERMINALS 21-01Z. SKIES SHOULD CLEAR QUICKLY THIS EVENING
AND EXPECTING THE WEAK FRONT TO CONTINUE TO SAG SOUTH THROUGH THE
REGION TONIGHT. PATCHY FOG POSSIBLE OVER RAIN DAMPENED/COOLED
GROUND. SHRA SHOULD BE OVER THE AREAS MAINLY SOUTH OF THE HIGHWAY 59
CORRIDOR AFTER 12Z...WITH TSRA CONFINED TO PRIMARILY THE COASTAL
COUNTIES THANKS TO THE MIDLEVEL NORTHERLY FLOW.
45

&&

.MARINE...
LIGHT WIND REGIME WILL BE IN PLACE THROUGH TUESDAY. SCATTERED
SHRA/TSRA SEEM MORE LIKELY AS WEAK COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE COASTAL
WATERS AND DISSIPATES. NAM DOES TRY TO SPIN UP A TROPICAL SYSTEM
FROM THE WEST CENTRAL GULF AS IT MERGES WITH THE REMAINS OF THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. AM EXTREMELY SKEPTICAL ATTM THAT THIS WILL COME TO
PASS AS AIRMASS DIFFERENCE ACROSS THE FRONT IS VERY SMALL AND IT
WILL LIKELY UNDERGO RAPID FRONTOLYSIS AFTER MOVING OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS. BUT WITH SLIGHTLY RICHER POOLED MOISTURE WILL PROBABLY GET
SCATTERED SHRA THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
