AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
330 AM CST SUN FEB 27 2011

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...VERY WARM AND WINDY
CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED TODAY ACROSS DEEP SOUTH TX BEFORE COOLER
TEMPERATURES AND LESS HUMIDITY RETURN ON MONDAY IN THE WAKE OF A
COLD FRONT. SFC LOW PRESSURE MOVING ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
PLAINS TODAY INTO TONIGHT WILL HELP TO PUSH A COLD FRONT INTO
NORTHERN AND WESTERN SECTIONS OF TX THRU THE DAY. A VERY WARM AND
HUMID AIRMASS WILL BUILD AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM ACROSS SOUTH TX.
ANTICIPATE HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL REACH 10-15 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL ACROSS EASTERN COUNTIES TO 20-25 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL ACROSS
WESTERN COUNTIES. AFTER MORNING CLOUDS...SKIES ARE ANTICIPATED TO
SCATTER OUT WITH MORE SUNSHINE DURING THE AFTERNOON. A TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN LOW PRESSURE NORTH AND HIGH PRESSURE EAST
WILL GENERATE STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS ACROSS THE CWA TODAY. STRONG
ENOUGH WIND TO WARRANT A WIND ADVISORY FOR CAMERON...WILLACY AND
KENEDY COUNTIES. LIGHTER WINDS WILL BE NOTICED FARTHER WEST AS DRIER
AIR BUILDS DURING THE MIDDAY AND AFTERNOON HRS IN LOCALES WEST OF
HIGHWAY 281.

CHANGES BEGIN TO TAKE SHAPE NORTH AND WEST OF THE CWA TONIGHT AS THE
COLD FRONT APPROACHES. THIS FRONT IS FORECAST TO PUSH THROUGH THE
CWA EARLY MONDAY MORNING. THE INCOMING AIRMASS WILL BE MUCH DRIER
AND COOLER. A FEW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE
FRONT DURING THE MORNING HOURS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE MAINLY
CONFINED TO COASTAL LOCALES AND REMAIN FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. BREEZY
CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THRU THE MRNG HRS BEHIND THE FRONT DRIVING
IN THE DRY AIR AND CLEARING THE SKIES. DIMINISHING WINDS DURING THE
AFTERNOON WITH SUNSHINE WILL WARM TEMPERATURES BACK CLOSE TO 80
DEGREES.
&&

.LONG TERM/6 PM MONDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
INTO THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY CAUSING LIGHT NORTHEAST
WINDS.  A RELATIVELY DRY AND STABLE AIRMASS WILL PREVAIL OVER THE
AREA THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.  TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY WILL BE
NEAR NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR AS A SLIGHTLY COOLER AIRMASS MOVES
INTO THE AREA.  HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST OVER THE GULF ON
WEDNESDAY CAUSING A LIGHT SOUTHEAST FLOW OF AIR.  TEMPERATURES WILL
WARM TO ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.  A COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE THROUGH DEEP SOUTH TEXAS ON SATURDAY CAUSING AREAS OF
RAIN...GUSTY NORTH WINDS AND COOLER TEMPERATURES IN ITS WAKE.
&&

.MARINE...TODAY THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY...THE 3 AM OBSERVATION FROM
BUOY020 INDICATED WINDS WERE SOUTH SOUTHEAST AROUND 14 KTS GUSTING
TO AROUND 18 KTS AND SEAS WERE AROUND 4 FT WITH A PERIOD OF 7
SECONDS. UNSETTLED MARINE CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST DURING THE SHORT
TERM FORECAST PERIOD. MODERATE TO STRONG ONSHORE FLOW TODAY WILL
PRODUCE SCA CONDITIONS ACROSS THE LAGUNA MADRE. EXERCISE CAUTION
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL ACROSS THE GULF WATERS AS WINDS
WILL REMAIN SLIGHTLY LESS. ELEVATED SEAS WILL BE POSSIBLE BUT REMAIN
WITHIN SCEC LIMITS. SCA CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE GULF
WATERS TONIGHT AS A TIGHT GRADIENT PERSISTS. SEAS WILL BUILD
OVERNIGHT INTO MONDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THRU EARLY MONDAY
MORNING. MODERATE TO STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT
WILL PERSIST DURING THE DAY ALLOWING SCA CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BY MONDAY EVENING ALLOWING FOR FAVORABLE
CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP.

6 PM MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...THE WINDS WILL DECREASE MONDAY NIGHT
TO BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA AS A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDS OVER
THE AREA.  LIGHT TO MODERATE NORTHEAST WINDS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE
MARINE AREAS TUESDAY NIGHT.  WINDS WILL BE LIGHT TO MODERATE FROM
THE SOUTHEAST BY WEDNESDAY WITH LOW TO MODERATE SEAS AND THESE
CONDITIONS SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY.  A RELATIVELY DRY AND
STABLE AIRMASS WILL BE THE RULE THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD.
&&

.AVIATION...THE 3 LOCAL TAF SITES ARE REPORTING PARTLY TO MOSTLY
CLOUDY SKIES WITH MODERATE AND GUSTY SE WINDS. THE WIND WILL BE THE
MAIN CONCERN TODAY AT THE LOCAL TERMINALS. STRONG LOW LEVEL JET
OVERHEAD TODAY WILL LEAD TO STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS TODAY ACROSS THE
AREA. THE LOCAL TERMINALS WILL SEE SUSTAINED WINDS IN EXCESS OF
20-20 KTS WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 30-35 KTS. LLWS WILL BE POSSIBLE THRU
SUNRISE OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER BEFORE SFC WINDS STRENGTHEN. MVFR CIGS
DURING THE MORNING WILL SCATTER OUT AND GIVE WAY TO VFR CONDITIONS.
THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL DIMINISH BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
THIS EVENING. MUCH LIGHTER WINDS EXPECTED TONIGHT AS LOW CLOUDS
DEVELOP TONIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING AHEAD AN APPROACHING COLD
FRONT WHICH WILL PASS THRU THE AREA BY SUNRISE MONDAY. &&

.FIRE WEATHER...STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS AND FALLING DEW POINT
TEMPERATURES DURING THE AFTERNOON ACROSS WESTERN SECTIONS OF DEEP
SOUTH TX WILL PRODUCE AN ELEVATED RISK FOR WILDFIRE GROWTH AND
SPREAD. RH VALUES WILL FALL CLOSER TO CRITICAL LEVELS DURING THE
LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON HRS ACROSS AREAS WEST OF THE HIGHWAY 281
CORRIDOR. THE COMBINATION OF THE WIND AND LOW RH VALUES WILL BE
ENOUGH TO HIGHLIGHT THE THREAT IN A RANGELAND FIRE DISCUSSION.

A COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA EARLY MONDAY MORNING PRIOR
TO SUNRISE. BREEZY NORTHERLY WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL DRIVE IN
SOME VERY DRY AIR DURING THE MORNING HOURS. INCREASING AMOUNTS OF
SUNSHINE DURING THE MORNING HRS WILL WARM SFC TEMPERATURES AND WHEN
COMBINED WITH THE FALLING DEW POINT TEMPERATURES...RH VALUES WILL
CRASH TO CRITICAL VALUES. THESE CONDITIONS WILL CREATE A HIGH RISK
FOR WILDFIRE GROWTH AND SPREAD THAT IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST AT LEAST
THROUGH THE MIDDAY AND AFTERNOON HOURS. A DIMINISHING WIND DURING
THE AFTERNOON MONDAY WILL HELP TO GRADUALLY LOWER THE THREAT FOR
FIRE GROWTH AND SPREAD. WILL ISSUE A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR ALL OF
DEEP SOUTH TX WITH THE EXCEPTION OF COASTAL LOCATIONS FOR MONDAY TO
HIGHLIGHT THIS THREAT.
