AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
145 PM CDT MON OCT 26 2009

...UPDATED MARINE AND AVIATION...

.SYNOPSIS...RAPIDLY MOVING HEAVY SHOWERS EARLIER THIS MORNING NEAR
THE COAST HAVE MOVED ON...LEAVING PARTLY SUNNY SKIES ACROSS THE
LOWER AND MIDDLE VALLEY BY MID MORNING. SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE
POPPING AHEAD OF THE REMNANTS OF A MCS THAT MOVED FROM THE BIG
BEND INTO LAREDO AT AROUND 945 AM...PRODUCING WIND GUSTS OVER 50 MPH
AND AN INITIAL TEMPERATURE DROP OF 10 DEGREES. KBRO SOUNDING
MODERATELY UNSTABLE WITH SURFACE BASED CAPE OF 3000...ALONG WITH A
DECENT HELICITY NEAR 100 IN THE SURFACE-3 KM LAYER AND A WET BULB
ZERO LEVEL BELOW 10K FEET. WITH FRONT BARRELING EAST...NOT SURE
THERE WILL BE ENOUGH TIME FOR ORGANIZED SEVERE AHEAD OF IT BUT
WILL BE WATCHING THE LOWER VALLEY THROUGH MID AFTERNOON FOR
INDIVIDUAL CELLS WHICH MAY GET GOING.
&&

.DISCUSSION...HAVE MADE NUMEROUS CHANGES TO GRID PACKAGE THIS
MORNING TO HOPEFULLY ACCOUNT FOR SHARP TEMPERATURE
DROPS...PARTICULARLY IN THE MID AND UPPER RIO GRANDE VALLEY OUT TO
THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS OF ZAPATA AND JIM HOGG WHERE TEMPERATURES
WILL CRASH FROM THE SULTRY 80S INTO THE MID OR UPPER 50S WELL
BEFORE SUNSET. THE FRONT IS GETTING HELP FROM THE OLD MCS AND THE
SURFACE PRESSURE FIELD BENDS SOUTHWEST FROM THE USUAL
NORTH/NORTHWEST TO SOUTH/SOUTHEAST MOVEMENT HERE IN DEEP SOUTH
TEXAS. NOT SURE HOW THIS WILL PLAY OUT EXACTLY THIS AFTERNOON BUT
HAVE NUDGED TIMING OF TEMPERATURE FALL UP AN HOUR FOR ALL BUT THE
LOWER VALLEY...AND EVEN THERE STARTED A MORE GRADUAL FALL JUST
PRIOR TO SUNSET.

AS FOR THE SENSIBLE WEATHER...SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE RAPIDLY
BREAKING OUT AHEAD OF THE INITIAL COOL PUSH WHICH JUST PASSED
LAREDO FROM 945 TO 10 AM...AND EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE AND
SPREAD EAST INTO THE UNSTABLE AIR IN DEEP SOUTH TEXAS AND
EVENTUALLY THE LOWER VALLEY THROUGH MID AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES AT
LAREDO CRASHED TO THE MID 60S BUT HAVE HELD SINCE...INDICATING
THAT THE STRONGER COOL PUSH IS STILL A BIT FARTHER UPSTREAM BUT
NOW MAKING A MOVE TOWARD WEBB AND DUVAL COUNTIES.

ALONG THE FRONT ITSELF...EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH
WIND GUSTS OF AT LEAST 35 MPH. TEMPERATURES WILL CRASH SOME 15 TO
20 DEGREES WITHIN 2 HOURS OF THE FRONT WHICH SHOULD BE ALONG A
FALCON-FALFURRIAS LINE BY 1 PM...A HIDALGO-MCALLEN-PORT MANSFIELD
LINE BETWEEN 3 AND 4 PM...AND A BROWNSVILLE-SPI LINE BETWEEN 5 AND
7 PM. AN UPDATED STATEMENT WILL BE ISSUED BY 1130 TO COVER THE
EXPECTED WEATHER CHANGE.

POST FRONT...EXPECT PERIODS OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN FOR AT LEAST
6 HOURS AS THE RIGHT REAR QUADRANT OF A 120+ KT JET CRUISES
THROUGH. THE BEST CHANCES FOR THE HEAVIER RAINS WILL BE THE LOWER
VALLEY PARTICULARLY CAMERON AND WILLACY COUNTY THROUGH MIDNIGHT OR
SO. RAINS WILL END AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT ACROSS THE MID
AND UPPER VALLEY AND PLAINS...AND BY 3 TO 5 AM OR SO ELSEWHERE
EXCEPT NEAR THE COAST WHERE THE TAIL OF THE JET MAY KEEP NUISANCE
RAINS AND LAYERED CLOUDS GOING PERHAPS UNTIL DAYBREAK OR SHORTLY
AFTER ON TUESDAY.

TEMPERATURES WILL CHILL DOWN INTO THE 50S EXCEPT 60S SOUTHEAST
LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ALONG WITH BRISK NORTH WINDS.

STEADY CLEARING ACROSS THE MID AND UPPER VALLEY AND RIO GRANDE
PLAINS LATER TONIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY WILL SLOW A BIT TOWARD THE
COAST AND ACROSS THE WATERS...AWAITING PASSAGE OF THE 500 MB
TROUGH AXIS WHICH DEPARTS AROUND SUNRISE AND SUNSHINE RETURNS TO
ALL AREAS BY MID TO LATE MORNING.

CONTINUE TO FOLLOWING BREAKING WEATHER ACTIVITY THROUGH OUR
WEBPAGE AND GRAPHICASTS...AT HTTP://WEATHER.GOV/RGV/GRAPHICAST.HTM
&&

.MARINE...HIGH SEAS BUILT UP BY STRONG SOUTHEAST WINDS AHEAD OF COLD
FRONT. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO STRONG NORTH OVER NEXT FEW HOURS...WITH
GUSTS TO GALE FORCE IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. ADVISORIES IN PLACE
THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING.

MARINE CONDITIONS TO SETTLE POST FRONT THRU TUE AFTN. NORTH WINDS
VEER QUICKLY TO THE SOUTHEAST BY EARLY WED IN RESPONSE TO THE NEXT
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPING TO THE NORTHWEST. A TIGHTENING
PRESSURE GRADIENT BY WED AFTN COULD PRODUCE FRESH AND GUSTY
SOUTHEAST WINDS. THIS MODERATE TO STRONG ONSHORE FLOW WILL LINGER
THRU LATE THU/EARLY FRI WHEN THE NEXT COLD FRONT PUSHES THRU THE
AREA. SEAS WILL AGAIN BUILD IN RESPONSE TO STRONG SE WINDS. SCA
CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE PRIOR TO THE FRONT FROM WED AFTN AND
WILL LINGER IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT THRU FRI. ANOTHER ROUND OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED WITH THIS SECOND FRONT. MARINE
CONDITIONS TO RELAX BY LATE IN THE WEEK INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.
