AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
321 AM CST TUE FEB 23 2010

...WINTER RETURNS LATER TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING...

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
COLD AIR OVER NORTHWEST TEXAS THIS MORNING IS EXPECTED TO FUNNEL
INTO DEEP SOUTH TEXAS TODAY INCREASING THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
ACROSS THE LOWER TEXAS COAST THIS AFTERNOON. WILL LIKELY SEE HIGH
TEMPERATURES FOR TODAY LATER THIS MORNING BEFORE TEMPS FALL DURING
THE DAY INTO THE 50S SOUTH AND 40S NORTH THIS AFTERNOON. IN
ADDITION...STRONG WINDS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE COASTAL SECTIONS
OF THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON SO WILL GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A WIND
ADVISORY FOR KENEDY...WILLACY AND CAMERON COUNTIES THROUGH EARLY
THIS EVENING WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS CONFINED EAST OF HIGHWAY 77.
AS THE COLDER AIR FILTERS INTO THE LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY LATER
THIS MORNING...OVERRUNNING CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP FROM WEST TO
EAST AS WARMER AND MOIST AIR ALOFT MOVES ACROSS THE COOLER AIR AT
THE SURFACE. LIGHT RAIN MIXED WITH DRIZZLE WILL DEVELOP AND
CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON BECOMING LIGHT TO
MODERATE RAIN. WILL CONTINUE WITH LIKELY CATEGORICAL RAIN CHANCES
FOR TODAY AS A RESULT. COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT
WITH STRONG NORTH WINDS DIMINISHING LATE TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY
MORNING. THIS TEMPERATURES SHOULD FALL INTO THE 30S TONIGHT ACROSS
MOST OF THE CWA BUT WILL REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING. WIND CHILL VALUES
WILL FLIRT WITH ADVISORY CRITERIA TONIGHT WITH WIND CHILL TEMPS IN
THE UPPER 20S NORTH AND LOWER 30S SOUTH. RAIN CHANCES WILL
DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST TONIGHT AS THE 500MB TROUGH ACROSS WEST
TX THIS AFTERNOON MOVES EASTWARD TONIGHT. THE QUESTION TONIGHT IS
WHETHER THE MOISTURE WILL ERODE FAST ENOUGH BEFORE 850MB
TEMPERATURES REACH FREEZING ACROSS THE AREA. BOTH THE NAM AND GFS
POINT SOUNDINGS INDICATE THE POSSIBILITY OF LIGHT SLEET MIXED WITH
LIGHT RAIN DEVELOPING JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT NORTHWEST AND ELSEWHERE
AFTER MIDNIGHT. WILL GO AHEAD AND MENTION A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SLEET
WITH LIGHT RAIN ENDING AFTER MIDNIGHT. IF SLEET DOES DEVELOP
TONIGHT...ACCUMULATIONS OF ICE ARE NOT EXPECTED ANYWHERE AS THE
SLEET WILL QUICKLY MELT AS IT HITS THE GROUND. NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT WEDNESDAY WILL PROVIDE INCREASING SUBSIDENCE ACROSS THE AREA
WITH SKIES CLEARING WED AFTERNOON. THIS SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES
TO REBOUND TO THE LOWER 60S WITH MAX DIURNAL HEATING.

&&

.LONG TERM /6 PM WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AFTER THIS EVENING'S BLUSTER AND WEDNESDAY'S CHILL...DEEP SOUTH
TEXAS GETS A REPRIEVE FOR SEVERAL DAYS AS THE PRIMARY IMPACT OF A
CONTINUED ACTIVE JET REMAINS NORTH OF THE REGION INTO THE
WEEKEND. A 500 MB SHORT WAVE TROUGH WITH PACIFIC ORIGINS MOVING
OUT OF THE ROCKIES THURSDAY WILL EVENTUALLY REINFORCE A PERSISTENT
EAST COAST TROUGH...BUT WILL ONLY GRAZE SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND PUSH A
DRY FRONT ACROSS THE VALLEY ON FRIDAY. A MORE VIGOROUS UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH WILL DIG THROUGH THE FOUR CORNERS DURING THE
WEEKEND...EVENTUALLY BRINGING A MORE VIGOROUS FRONT AND PROBABLY
MORE GUSTY WINDS...OVERRUNNING RAINS...AND CHILL TO END THE
WEEKEND AND START THE NEXT WORK WEEK.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY: CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT TO CALM WINDS
WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO DROP QUICKLY AFTER SUNSET...REACHING
THE MID 30S TO LOWER 40S THURSDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
QUICKLY EXIT EAST ALLOWING RETURN FLOW OF GUSTY SOUTHEAST WINDS BY
THURSDAY AFTERNOON...BUT PLENTY OF DRY AIR IN PLACE FOR A SUNNY
PLEASANT DAY WITH TEMPERATURES HEADED FOR THE 70S EXCEPT 60S NEAR
THE COAST.

MODERATING TEMPERATURES WILL ACCOMPANY THE SOUTHEAST FLOW THURSDAY
NIGHT WITH LOWS UP TO 20 DEGREES HIGHER BY FRIDAY MORNING. FOR
FRIDAY ITSELF...GFS CONTINUES ITS TREND OF WHIPPING A SHOT OF
DRYING WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW BY AFTERNOON WITH GOOD COMPRESSIONAL
HEATING. ECMWF REMAINS A BIT TARDY WHILE THE DGEX AND CANADIAN GEM
ARE MORE IN LINE WITH THE GFS. WITH FASTER FLOW RULING THIS WINTER
HAVE LEANED TOWARD THE GFS BUT HELD THE STRONGER WINDS UNTIL MID
AFTERNOON. EITHER WAY...ONCE THE WEST/NORTHWEST FLOW GETS GOING
ANY MORNING CLOUDS WILL CLEAR AND TEMPERATURES RESPOND QUICKLY.
FULL MIXING FROM H85 INDICATES LOW TO MID 80S BUT WILL ACCOUNT FOR
LOW LEVEL INVERSION AND FORECAST 75 TO 80 INSTEAD (70 TO 75
NORTH)...3 TO 5 DEGREES ABOVE GUIDANCE WHICH IS NOT HANDLING THE
WARM BURST AND COMMONLY UNDERDOES POST-SURFACE TROUGH DAYTIME
TEMPERATURES. IN SHORT...A NICE WAY TO END THE WEEK.

HAVE TRIMMED BACK PRECIPITATION AREA TO THE KING RANCH AND
ADJACENT WATERS FRIDAY...AND ONLY SLIGHT CHANCES AT BEST.

DIMINISHING NORTHERLY WINDS WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO FALL BACK
TO COMFORTABLE SEASONABLE LEVELS FRIDAY NIGHT...AND SATURDAY
SHOULD REPEAT THURSDAY WITH GUSTY SOUTHEAST WINDS RETURNING BY AFTERNOON.

SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY: SURFACE TROUGH/LEE SIDE LOW WILL LEAD THE
LIFTING SHORT WAVE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. ANY FORCING AHEAD OF
THE SYSTEM LOOKS TO REMAIN NORTH OF THE REGION ONCE AGAIN...WHICH
SHOULD LEAD TO MINIMAL RAIN CHANCES FAVORING THE NORTHERN TIER AND
A BETTER CHANCE FOR SOME SUNSHINE ACROSS THE VALLEY. HIGHS WILL BE
A TRICKY CALL AS INFLECTION OF BACKING WIND TO NORTHEAST (FROM
EAST/SOUTHEAST) MAY DRAPE ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS TO THE KING
RANCH. FOR NOW...HAVE RANGED HIGHS FROM THE COOL-ISH 60S NORTH TO
THE LOW OR MID 70S SOUTH.

GFS/ECMWF ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT FOR SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY AS SURFACE
LOW TAKES OFF TO THE NORTHERN GULF AND CHILLING NORTHERLY FLOW
ALONG WITH A PERIOD OF LIGHT RAIN/DRIZZLE ARRIVES SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO MONDAY MORNING. CLOUDS MAY THIN BY MONDAY AFTERNOON BUT NOT
IN TIME TO RECOVER TEMPERATURES ANYWHERE NEAR GFS GUIDANCE WHICH
IS BIASED BY CLIMATOLOGY. GIVEN THE CLOUDS AND JUNKY START HAVE
FORECAST UPPER 50S NORTH AND LOW TO MID 60S SOUTH TO GET A JUMP ON
THE SYSTEM...WHICH HAS BEEN SHOWN CONSISTENTLY ON THE PAST FEW
RUNS OF GLOBAL MODELS.

&&

.MARINE...TODAY THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY...SEAS WERE NEAR 5 FEET WITH
EAST-NORTHEAST WINDS NEAR 14 KNOTS AT BUOY020 EARLY THIS MORNING.
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BACK TO THE NORTH TODAY AND INCREASE RAPIDLY
THIS AFTERNOON AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS ACROSS THE COASTAL
WATERS CONSIDERABLY WITH COLD AIR ACROSS NORTHWEST TX FUNNELING INTO
DEEP SOUTH TX THIS AFTERNOON. WILL GO AHEAD AND ISSUE SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES FOR ALL OF THE COASTAL WATERS THIS MORNING AND GALE
WARNINGS THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY AS AT LEAST FREQUENT
GUSTS TO GALE FORCE DEVELOP ACROSS THE LAGUNA MADRE AND OFFSHORE THE
LOWER TX COAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. SEAS WILL RAPIDLY
BUILD OFFSHORE LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING AND CONTINUE TO
BUILD TONIGHT WITH STRONG TO VERY STRONG NORTH WINDS PREVAILING.
WINDS WILL BEGIN TO GRADUALLY DIMINISH WEDNESDAY AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT FINALLY BEGINS TO RELAX ACROSS THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO
BUT WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN HIGH REQUIRING SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES
FOR THE COASTAL WATERS AFTER WED MORNING.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY: CONDITIONS CONTINUE IMPROVING
INTO THURSDAY AS SEAS DIP BELOW 5 FEET (AFTER A STILL SOMEWHAT
HAZARDOUS START WEDNESDAY EVENING AT 7 FEET OFFSHORE) AND WINDS
TAKE A BREAK TO CHANGE DIRECTION INTO THURSDAY. SOUTHEAST FLOW
WILL QUICKLY INCREASE AHEAD OF THE FRIDAY TROUGH AND DIURNAL
INCREASE SHOULD PUSH 20+ KNOT VALUES THURSDAY NIGHT WITH SEAS
BUILDING BACK TOWARD 6 OR 7 FEET. SHIFTING WINDS TO NORTHWEST
FRIDAY AFTERNOON ACCOMPANIED BY DRY AIR MECHANICAL MIXING WITH
35-40+ KT FLOW ABOVE THE SURFACE SHOULD LOCK IN/MAINTAIN SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS INTO FRIDAY EVENING BEFORE DIMINISHING
WINDS RETURN SATURDAY.

GULF SEAS MAY REMAIN HAZARDOUS FOR SMALL CRAFT INTO SATURDAY...SO
THE LAGUNA MAY BE A BETTER BET FOR MANY.

&&

.AVIATION...SATELLITE IMAGES AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE LOW
CLOUDS ACROSS MOST OF DEEP SOUTH TX EARLY THIS MORNING. CEILINGS
WERE NEAR 800FT AT KAPY TO NEAR 3100FT AT KBRO...KMFE AND KPIL. VFR
TO MVFR CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE TO MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS
THROUGH 18Z TODAY AS OVERRUNNING CONDITIONS DEVELOP WITH LIGHT RAIN
DEVELOPING FROM WEST TO EAST AND EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS BACKING TO
THE NORTH AND INCREASING AFTER 18Z. LOW CEILINGS AND REDUCED
VISIBILITIES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT WITH LIGHT RAIN BECOMING
LIGHT DRIZZLE. STRONG NORTH WINDS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE COASTAL
SECTIONS THIS AFTERNOON AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT INCREASES ACROSS
THE LOWER TX COAST.
