TROPICAL STORM LEE CONTINUES TO MEANDER ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL
GULF OF MEXICO. THIS FEATURE WILL AFFECT OUR WEATHER INDIRECTLY
THROUGH AT LEAST THE SHORT TERM FORECAST. WINDS AREA WIDE HAVE
ALREADY TURNED TO THE NORTH...WITH SOME REMNANT MOISTURE STILL IN
PLACE. A COUPLE SHOWERS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FORM ALONG THE SEA
BREEZE...MAINLY IN KENEDY COUNTY BUT JUST RECENTLY HERE AT KBRO
AIRPORT. NORTHERLY FLOW AROUND LEE WILL BRING MUCH DRIER AIR INTO
THE REGION DURING THE NEXT 36 HOURS...QUICKLY CLEARING OUT SKIES
TONIGHT AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE MAIN EFFECT WILL BE THE
HOTTER TEMPERATURES TOMORROW...WITH HIGHS SOARING ABOVE 100
DEGREES. MOST RECORDS TOMORROW ARE 101 TO 103 DEGREES...AND SOME
OF THESE ARE IN JEOPARDY.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...LOOKS LIKE A BIT BETTER
CONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE LATEST ECMWF AND GFS MODELS WITH REGARD
TO TS LEE AND ITS IMPACT. THUS...HAVE GOOD CONFIDENCE IN THE
FORECAST. DID NOT MAKE ANY MAJOR CHANGES TO THE INHERITED
FORECAST...RESULTING IN GOOD LOCAL CONSISTENCY AS WELL.

DRY AIR IS ALREADY BEING PULLED SOUTH ALOFT WITH A NORTH WIND
COMPONENT...AS SEEN ON THE MORNING SOUNDING AT BRO...AND THIS
TREND WILL CONTINUE ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WITH AN ASSOCIATED
SURFACE WIND. HIGH TEMPS SUNDAY WILL BE WARMER THAN NORMAL BY AT
LEAST SEVERAL DEGREES...WITH RECORD HIGH TEMPS IN JEOPARDY. THE
CURRENT FORECAST REVERTS TO TEMPS CLOSER TO NORMAL FOR MONDAY...
BUT WITH MORE DRY AIR AND SUNSHINE ON TAP...MAY NEED TO REVISE
UPWARD IN LATER FORECASTS. ALL IN ALL...MAINTAINED A DRY AND HOT
FORECAST IN THE LONG TERM. DRIER AIR WILL MEAN HEAT INDEX VALUES
NOT MUCH ABOVE ACTUAL TEMPS...THUS NOT LOOKING FOR HEAT ADVISORY
CRITERIA TO BE MET.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT  THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...BROAD NORTHERLY FLOW WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE NEXT 36 HOURS AROUND THE STATIONARY TROPICAL
STORM LEE IN THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF. WINDS WILL REMAIN 10 TO 15
KNOTS...BUT SEAS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE LATER SATURDAY AS SWELLS
CREATED BY LEE BEGIN TO BEAR DOWN ON THE TEXAS GULF COAST. A FEW
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE PERIOD...BUT WILL
BE MORE ISOLATED AS DRIER AIR WRAPS AROUND LEE FROM THE NORTHWEST.

SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...ISSUED A RIP CURRENT STATEMENT THAT
WILL EXTEND THROUGH LABOR DAY...AND POSSIBLY BEYOND. MODEL DATA
SUGGESTS THAT WAVE HEIGHTS WILL BUILD TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
HEIGHT...SEVEN FEET...BY LATE SUNDAY. SINCE WINDS WILL INITIALLY
BE NORTHWEST TO NORTH...SEAS WILL NOT BE AS HIGH AS MIGHT BE
EXPECTED WITH A MORE NORTHEAST FLOW. WINDS MAY VEER TO NORTH BY
MONDAY HOWEVER AS LEE MOVES INLAND. THIS SHIFT WILL CAUSE SEAS TO
BUILD A BIT MORE THROUGH MONDAY. WINDS MAY REACH AROUND 20 KNOTS
FOR PERIODS ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY DUE TO THE TIGHTER GRADIENT
CAUSED BY THE PROXIMITY OF LEE...AND SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL
LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR BOTH WINDS AND SEAS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
LONG TERM. WINDS WILL DECREASE ON TUESDAY...WITH WAVE HEIGHTS ALSO
DROPPING TO MODERATE THROUGH THE END OF THE LONG TERM.
