AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
204 PM CDT THU APR 14 2011

.SHORT TERM /NOW THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...WEAK TROUGH/DRY LINE
INCHING INTO ZAPATA COUNTY ATTM AND SHOULD SPREAD INTO JIM HOGG
AND STARR COUNTIES THIS AFTERNOON...BRINGING DRIER AIR AND L/V
WINDS. SE WINDS REESTABLISH OVERNIGHT...BRINGING MOISTURE BACK
INTO THE WESTERN REGIONS AND PROVIDING MODEST RH RECOVERIES. GOOD
CAPPING INVERSION...LIGHTER SFC WINDS AND MOISTURE POOLING AHEAD
OF THE APPROACHING FRONT MAY BRING SOME PATCHY FOG TO THE LOWER
VALLEY DURING THE PREDAWN HOURS. THE FRONT STILL ON TRACK TO PASS
THROUGH THE REGION TOMORROW MORNING...WITH WINDS SHIFT TO THE
NORTH AND PLUNGING TD AREA WIDE. ONLY PRECIPITATION EXPECTED WELL
OFFSHORE CLOSEST TO MID LEVEL ENERGY. BRIEF BREEZY CONDITIONS AND
DRIER AIR WILL BRING NEARLY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER BEHAVIOR
CONCERNS...ESPECIALLY TO THE WESTERN VALLEY. WITH FRONT MOVING
THROUGH IN THE MORNING...COMPRESSIONAL HEATING WILL OCCUR TOO
EARLY IN DAY TO BRING SOARING TEMPS...BUT DRIER AIR WILL STILL
ALLOW TEMPS TO JUMP INTO THE 90S AREA WIDE. SFC RIDGE MOVES INTO
THE REGION TOMORROW NIGHT...BRINGING WINDS QUICKLY BACK TO
L/V...WHILE CLEAR SKIES ALLOW GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING. MODELS
STILL NOT QUITE HANDLING COOL EPISODES...SO WENT BELOW GUIDANCE
FOR LOWS MID 50S NORTH TO LOW 60S ALONG THE RIVER.

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...A FLUID SITUATION WILL
KEEP WEATHER SYSTEMS DEVELOPING AND MOVING AROUND DEEP SOUTH
TEXAS...BUT NOT REALLY EXPECTING ANY SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN THE
LONG TERM. FOCUSED ON REFRESHING DAYS THREE AND FOUR WHILE LEAVING
THE INHERITED OUTLYING FORECAST MORE OR LESS INTACT. NO BIG
BLOCKING PATTERNS IN THE LONG TERM...JUST A RATHER ZONAL MID LEVEL
FLOW WITH TRANSITING SHORT WAVE TROUGHS GENERALLY STAYING WELL TO
THE NORTH.

MODELS BEGINNING TO SHOW SLIGHT RAIN CHANCES OVER LAND ALONG THE
COAST...SUNDAY. NOT PLACING TO MUCH CONFIDENCE IN THAT JUST YET...
BUT SEA BREEZE DAYS ARE NOT TOO FAR OFF. A DRY LINE MAY REACH CLOSE
TO ZAPATA COUNTY ON MONDAY...WITH SOME CONVECTION FARTHER UPSTREAM
AND NOT QUITE INTO DEEP SOUTH TEXAS MONDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL
CONTINUE TUESDAY WITH A COLD FRONT PUSHING INTO CENTRAL OR SOUTH
TEXAS ON WEDNESDAY...STILL A BIT TOO FAR NORTH OF HERE TO HAVE A
LOT OF CONFIDENCE TO PUT WEATHER IN THE FORECAST. THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY LOOK MORE LIKE UNSETTLED WEATHER DAYS OVER CENTRAL TEXAS...
WITH MOISTURE FEEDING NORTH THROUGH DEEP SOUTH TEXAS. TEMP TRENDS
REFLECT WARM NIGHTS DUE TO HIGH DEW POINTS AND SLIGHTLY WARMER
DAYS. BREEZY TO WINDY DAYS FROM MONDAY ON DUE TO LOW PRESSURE
UPSTREAM OVER THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS.

&&

.MARINE...
NOW THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...WINDS ACROSS THE LAGUNA CURRENTLY PEAKING
AT 15 TO 20KTS...SO ADVISORIES BECOMING LESS LIKELY. WINDS DECREASE
FOR THE MARINE ZONES THROUGH THE NIGHT AS THE FRONT APPROACHES FROM
THE NORTHWEST. THE FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING...WITH
NORTH WINDS 15 TO 20 KNOTS. LATEST MODEL RUNS CONTINUE TO INDICATE
WEAK STATE OF FRONTAL PASSAGE...SO WILL KEEP WINDS BELOW ADVISORY
CRITERIA. SEAS WILL ONLY INCREASE TO 4 TO 5 FEET...WITH A FEW HIGHER
PEAKS ONCE WINDS BEGIN TO SHIFT NORTHEAST FRIDAY NIGHT.

SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...HIGH PRESSURE SPREADS OVER THE LOWER
TEXAS COAST IN THE WAKE OF THE FRIDAY COLD FRONT... PROVIDING A
DAY OF BENIGN WEATHER. MODERATE RESURGENT NORTHEAST WINDS BEHIND
THE FRONT WILL BUILD SEAS SLIGHTLY TO BETWEEN FOUR AND SIX FEET
SATURDAY NIGHT. MODERATE SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL QUICKLY RETURN BY
SUNDAY WITH ANOTHER STORM CENTER DEVELOPING IN THE SOUTHERN HIGH
PLAINS. EXERCISE CAUTION POSSIBLE LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. ANOTHER
DEEPENING LOW OVER NORTH TEXAS AND STRONGER GULF HIGH PRESSURE
WILL CREATE STRONGER WINDS NEAR ADVISORY CRITERIA MONDAY NIGHT
INTO TUESDAY. THE PERSISTENCE OF THE STORM SYSTEM OVER NORTH
TEXAS WILL KEEP STRONGER WINDS GOING THROUGH TUESDAY AND TUESDAY
NIGHT BEFORE BACK DOOR HIGH PRESSURE IN NORTH AND EAST TEXAS
BRIEFLY CUTS OF THE GRADIENT WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...FRONTAL BOUNDARY SWEEPING THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING
WILL BRING A SIGNIFICANT TO NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER EVENT FOR
DEEP SOUTH TEXAS. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES TODAY WILL FALL BELOW
35 PERCENT FOR THE WESTERN VALLEY...WITH GOOD RECOVERY PAST 80
PERCENT. THE FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY MORNING...WITH
RH VALUES QUICKLY FALLING BELOW 15 PERCENT FOR AREAS WEST OF U.S.
281 AND BETWEEN 15 AND 40 PERCENT FOR THE EASTERN COUNTIES. WINDS
BEHIND THE FRONT ARE FORECAST TO REACH 15 TO 20 MPH AT 20 FT FOR
THE WESTERN COUNTIES FOR SEVERAL HOURS BEHIND THE FRONT. THIS
WOULD CONSTITUTE A PERIOD REACHING RFW CRITERIA ROUGHLY FROM 9 AM
THROUGH ABOUT 3 PM WHEN WINDS WOULD BEGIN TO DECREASE. AREAS EAST
OF U.S. 281 WILL HAVE HIGHER RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WHICH NEED
HIGHER WINDS TO REACH RFW CRITERIA. DRIER AIR WILL REMAIN IN THE
REGION TOMORROW NIGHT WITH RH RECOVERY ONLY REACH NEAR 60 PERCENT
FOR WESTERN AREAS AND 75 PERCENT CLOSER TO THE COAST. ANOTHER VERY
DRY DAY EXPECTED FOR SATURDAY...BUT WINDS WILL BE LIGHTER AND
TURNING MORE ONSHORE...SLOWLY REINTRODUCING GULF MOISTURE TO THE
REGION.

THE NORTH AND INCREASING TO 15G20 AT KMFE AND 12G18 ALONG THE

ABOUT WIND FORECAST FOR TODAY.

DISCUSSION...MORNING SOUNDING AT BRO CORROBORATED WITH WSR-88D
VWP NOTES 30 TO 40 KNOT LLVL JET PICKING UP ABOUT 3 KFT.
SUFFICIENT MIXING SHOULD BRING A REASONABLE CHUNK OF THIS DOWN TO
THE SFC. HAVE UPDATED WINDS FOR THE REGION...ESPECIALLY THE
COASTAL REGIONS...FOR INCREASED WINDS. NO OTHER CHANGES FOR LAND
REGIONS NEEDED. UPDATE SHORTLY.

MARINE...MORNING CONDITIONS SHOW LLVL JET POSITIONED RIGHT ALONG
THE COAST. WINDS SHOULD MIX TO THE SFC THIS AFTERNOON...BRINGING
WINDS OF 15 TO 20 KNOTS TO THE LAGUNA...WHILE WINDS FOR THE GULF
ZONES SHOULD REMAIN AROUND 15 KNOTS. SOME MODEL DATA SHOWING WINDS
REACHING SUSTAINED 20 KNOTS FOR A WHILE THIS AFTERNOON. MIXING MAY
NOT BE ENOUGH TO PULL STRONGEST WINDS TO THE SFC...SO WILL NOT YET
PULL TRIGGER ON SCA FOR THE LAGUNA...BUT WILL WATCH LAGUNA OBS FOR
SUCH AN OCCASION.
