AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
1200 PM CST TUE NOV 8 2011

.DISCUSSION...UPDATE FOR 18Z TAFS.

&&

.AVIATION...A COLD FRONT IS PROJECTED TO REACH THE LOWER RIO
GRANDE VALLEY REGION THIS EVENING...WITH INCREASING CLOUD COVER
AND A WIND SHIFT TO MODERATE TO BREEZY NORTHWEST BY MIDNIGHT FOR
VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE AREA. A LINE OF CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH
THE FRONT PROMPTED A PROB30 GROUP IN THE TAFS FOR THE POSSIBILITY
OF THUNDERSTORMS NEAR THE COAST FOR A FEW HOURS IN THE VICINITY
OF FROPA. BKN TO OVC CEILINGS WILL DEVELOP...WITH PERIODS OF MVFR
BUT MOSTLY VFR CIGS. OVC SKIES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY
AFTN AS COOL AIR SPREADS OVER THE REGION...AND MODERATE WINDS
VEER TO NORTH.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 550 AM CST TUE NOV 8 2011/

DISCUSSION...SEE AVIATION SECTION BELOW FOR THE 12Z TAF DISCUSSION.

AVIATION...LITTLE CHANGE TO PREVIOUS FORECAST. MAIN CONCERN WILL
INITIALLY BE WINDS...BUT TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD WILL WATCH
POTENTIAL FOR SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF THE
FRONT TOWARD THE COAST.

THROUGH 14/15Z SURFACE WINDS SHOULD HOLD AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS WITH A
FEW HIGHER GUSTS. WINDS HAVE DIPPED TO AROUND 10 KNOTS...BUT
DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL JET EXTENDING DOWN TO
500 TO 1000 FEET SHOULD FALL JUST BELOW THE 10 KNOT PER 100 FOOT
RULE NEEDED FOR LLWS. STILL WILL BE A BIT OF A BUMPY RIDE FOR
EARLY MORNING FLIGHTS...PARTICULARLY SMALLER AIRCRAFT.

AT THIS POINT...EXPECT THESE WINDS TO QUICKLY MIX DOWN WITH RAPID
TEMPERATURE JUMP...AND WILL BRING SOUTH/SOUTHEAST 20+ KNOT AND
GUSTY...NEAR 30 KNOTS VALUES FOR KHRL/KBRO THROUGH 20Z. KBRO
SOUNDING UNDERWAY INDICATED PEAK WINDS AT 37 KNOTS AT AROUND 900
METERS. AS PREFRONTAL TROUGH EDGES TOWARD THE COAST BEFORE SUNSET
EXPECT SOUTH WINDS TO DECREASE SOME...STILL A BIT GUSTY...BEFORE
DROPPING OFF CONSIDERABLY AT KBRO/KHRL AFTER SUNSET AND JUST AHEAD
OF FRONT. FOR KMFE...WINDS SHOULD SHIFT TO NORTH (360-020) BUT
SHOULD BE NO MORE THAN 10 KNOTS WITH INITIAL PUSH BEFORE 06Z.

THAT WIND SHIFT...AND LACK OF WIND SHIFT FARTHER EAST...WILL
BECOME A FOCUS FOR MOISTURE POOLING AND POTENTIAL CONVECTION
ESPECIALLY KHRL/KBRO/KPIL AND BASED ON CURRENT RAIN CHANCES HAVE
ADDED A PROB30 WITH MVFR VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS IN TSRA. NO SUCH
LUCK FOR KMFE WHICH MAY SEE SOME LIGHTER SHOWERS BUT MAINLY A
LOWERING CEILING.

SPEAKING OF CEILINGS...EXPECT GENERALLY SCATTERED VFR CEILINGS
THROUGH AFTERNOON...THEN POST-FRONTAL BROKEN TO OVERCAST
STRATOCUMULUS ARRIVES IN MCALLEN...AND ANY CONVECTIVE CEILINGS
DEVELOP CLOSER TO THE COAST. JUST RECEIVED 06Z GFS RUN LINES UP
NICELY WITH PREVIOUS RUN...AND EXPECT EARNEST WIND SHIFT AND SOME
GUSTS IN MCALLEN A LITTLE AFTER 06Z AND AT KHRL/KBRO AROUND 08Z OR
SO. AT THIS POINT...OVERCAST BEGINS TO THICKEN NEAR THE COAST AT
AROUND 5000 FEET...WITH BROKEN CONDITIONS AT KMFE.
/52-BSG/

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 418 AM CST TUE NOV 8 2011/

SHORT TERM.../TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...AS MENTIONED OVER THE PAST
DAY OR SO...MIDWEEK FORECAST REMAINS COMPLICATED. THE MAIN ISSUE IS
IMPACT OF THE SECOND SHORT WAVE ROUNDING THE BASE OF INITIAL LIFTING
500 MB TROUGH (THE ONE THAT'S PRODUCING SEVERE WEATHER FROM NORTH
TEXAS THROUGH OKLAHOMA EARLY THIS MORNING) ON GENERATING THICKER
CLOUDS AND PERHAPS LIGHT PRECIPITATION DUE TO PARTS OF THE VALLEY
BEING IN THE FAVORABLE RIGHT REAR QUADRANT OF ASSOCIATED 250 MB JET
WHICH IS ENHANCED BY THE REINFORCING WAVE. CURRENTLY...THE MAIN WAVE
IS SPINNING THROUGH NEW MEXICO WHILE THE SECOND WAVE IS SCOOTING
PRETTY QUICKLY THROUGH WASHINGTON/OREGON/IDAHO.

SO...WHICH WAY TO GO? FRANKLY...THE ECMWF HAS BEEN THE MOST
CONSISTENT WITH RUN-TO-RUN AND DAY-TO-DAY CONSISTENCY WITH THIS
SECOND PUSH SINCE LAST WEEKEND...AND GFS HAS COME IN LINE OVER THE
PAST DAY.  AN OUTLIER...BUT STILL WORTH MENTIONING...IS THE NAM-12
WHICH HAS BECOME EVEN MORE BULLISH ON DEVELOPING A PERIOD OF
MEASURABLE RAIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH MUCH THICKER CLOUDINESS BY
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. MORE ON THIS POTENTIAL IN THE LONG TERM
DISCUSSION.  GIVEN THE ECMWF CONSISTENCY AND GFS NOW EDGING CLOSE TO
THIS SOLUTION...CONFIDENCE IS HIGH FOR THE SENSIBLE WEATHER SOLUTION
DISCUSSED IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF PARAGRAPHS.

FOR TODAY...THE INITIAL FRONT WILL GRADUALLY SEEP INTO THE BRUSH
COUNTRY/RIO GRANDE PLAINS BY AFTERNOON BUT TAKE IT'S TIME REACHING
THE COAST...NOT UNTIL EARLY THIS EVENING AND PERHAPS AS LATE AS
MIDNIGHT.  MAIN ISSUES TODAY ARE A PERIOD OF STRONG WINDS ACROSS THE
LOWER AND PERHAPS MID VALLEY THIS MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON...AND
A HEAT "SPIKE" BEHIND THE TROUGH PASSAGE WHICH WILL INITIALLY SHIFT
WINDS TO SOUTHWEST OR WEST BEFORE SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR ARRIVES ON
NORTH WINDS. NAM STASTICAL GUIDANCE SHOWS LOWER 90S ACROSS THE MID
VALLEY...WHICH IS NOT THAT FAR FETCHED. FOR NOW...HAVE GONE SLIGHTLY
ABOVE THE GFS GUIDANCE OWING TO TIME OF YEAR AND CONTINUED SOUTH TO
SOUTHEAST WINDS INTO EARLY AFTERNOON.  STILL A WARM ONE...AND
RECORDS MAY BE THREATENED AGAIN (SEE CLIMATE SECTION BELOW).

AS FOR RAINFALL...FAIRLY DEEP LAYER DRYING ARRIVES IN ALL AREAS
WHICH WILL PRECLUDE ANY PRECIPITATION EVERYWHERE DURING THE DAYLIGHT
HOURS. IN FACT...EXPECT NO RAIN FROM MCALLEN TO FALFURRIAS WEST
WHERE LOWER MOISTURE WILL NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO POOL AND WORK ON
MARGINALLY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE.  SUCH IS NOT THE CASE ACROSS THE
LOWER VALLEY WHERE TIMING SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO ALLOW ISOLATED
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP. CONFIDENCE NOT ALL THAT HIGH BUT
HAVE LEFT MENTION IN TOWARD AND JUST AFTER SUNSET.  BEST CHANCES
WILL BE OVER THE GULF WHERE INSTABILITY SHOULD PEAK OVER THE WARMER
OFFSHORE WATERS THIS EVENING.

OVERNIGHT...SKIES WILL BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR MAINLY WEST OF HIGHWAY
281...BUT STRATUS/ALTOSTRATUS WILL LINGER AND/OR DEVELOP ACROSS THE
LOWER VALLEY WHILE TEMPERATURES GRADUALLY FALL AS WINDS TURN
NORTHERLY.  MORE IMPORTANTLY...DEWPOINTS/RH WILL BECOME MUCH MORE
COMFORTABLE BY DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY AS DRIER AIR RAPIDLY SWINGS ACROSS
THE REGION NEAR THE SURFACE. WITH THE BULK OF THE COOLER AIR
ARRIVING LATE...LOWS WILL BE COOLEST ACROSS THE ZAPATA/JIM
HOGG/STARR COUNTY AREA BUT SHOULD STILL RANGE IN THE MID TO UPPER
60S CLOSE TO THE COAST.

FOR WEDNESDAY...THE CLOUD LAYER WILL THICKEN AS SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
FLOW BETWEEN 700 AND 600 MB BECOMES MORE ROBUST.  INITIALLY...THE
MID LEVEL OVERCAST WILL DOMINATE THE LOWER AND MID VALLEY BUT SHOULD
MIGRATE WESTWARD BY EVENING. WHERE SUNSHINE IS PREVALENT...MAINLY
STARR/JIM HOGG/ZAPATA/BROOKS...TEMPERATURES SHOULD CLIMB BACK INTO
THE MID 70S MAKING FOR A VERY NICE DAY.  TEMPERATURES MAY BE COOLEST
IN THE BROWNSVILLE/HARLINGEN/SPI AREA WHERE STIFF NORTH WINDS AND
THE THICKEST CLOUDS DEVELOP...AND WE MAY EVEN SEE A FEW SPRINKLES
(VIRGA) BY LATE AFTERNOON IN THESE AREAS.  FOR NOW...HAVE NUDGED
JUST OVER 70 BUT WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF READINGS DIPPED INTO THE
LOW OR MID 60S BY 9 AM AND STRUGGLE TO THE UPPER 60S BY AFTERNOON.

LONG TERM.../WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT MONDAY/...

MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL DIG ACROSS
NORTHERN MEXICO AND SWING EAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A SURFACE TROUGH IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE UPPER TROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING.
THIS SHORTWAVE ALONG WITH THE SURFACE THROUGH WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH
LIFT TO ENHANCE/PROLONG THE CLOUDINESS AND LIGHT PCPN OVER THE LOWER
RIO GRANDE VALLEY. HAVE KEPT POPS OVER THE COASTAL COUNTIES (CAMERON
AND WILLACY) AND ACROSS THE MARINE AREA. THE CLOUD BASES ARE
EXPECTED TO BE ABOUT 9K AND WITH DRY AIR IN THE LOWER LEVELS...ANY
PCPN THAT REACHES THE GROUND SHOULD BE VERY LIGHT (SPRINKLES). THE
SHORTWAVE MOVES EAST ON THURSDAY...DRIER AIR IN THE MID/UPPER LEVELS
ALLOW CLOUDS TO SLOWLY CLEAR THURSDAY AFTERNOON. HIGHS ON THURSDAY
ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE LOWER 70S. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT WHICH WILL ALLOW...LIGHT WINDS AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES
THURSDAY. GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING EXPECTED THURSDAY NIGHT...
TEMPERATURES WILL FALL INTO THE 40S INLAND AND 50S ALONG THE
IMMEDIATE COASTAL LOCATIONS.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES OFF TO THE EAST BY LATE FRIDAY WHICH
WILL RESULT IN SOUTHEAST LOW LEVEL FLOW RETURNING. LOW LEVEL GULF
STRATUS LOOKS TO DEVELOP EARLY SATURDAY AND PERSISTS THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK. HAVE CONTINUED WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR STREAMER
TYPE SHOWERS OVER THE MARINE AREA FOR THE WEEKEND. HIGH TEMPERATURES
ON FRIDAY WILL BE AROUND 70 BUT A WARM TREND WILL BE IN FULL SWING
FOR THE WEEKEND...HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE BACK INTO THE 80S OVER
THE WEEKEND.

MARINE...AFTER A COUPLE DAYS FLIRTING WITH 7 FOOT SEAS BUOY 20 HAS
BEEN SOLIDLY OVER 8 FEET ALL NIGHT WITH WINDS WHERE THEY'VE
BEEN...20 GUSTING 23 KNOTS.  THESE CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ALL DAY
AS THE BEST GRADIENT AND SOME SYNOPTIC ASSISTANCE FROM THE
APPROACHING TROUGH KEEP WINDS UP...SO HAVE EXTENDED ADVISORY OVER
ALL THE GULF WATERS (SOUTH SOUTHEAST FLOW EASILY BRINGING SWELL INTO
THE NEARSHORE) THROUGH SUNSET. HAVE ALSO HOISTED ANOTHER DAYTIME
SMALL CRAFT/WINDS ADVISORY FOR LAGUNA MADRE AS 30 TO 35 KNOT LOW
LEVEL JET WILL MIX DOWN THIS MORNING AND CONTINUE UP TO 6 HOURS
TODAY.

CONDITIONS WILL TEMPORARILY QUIET DOWN TONIGHT...BUT TIMING OF SEA
FALL MAY BE AFTER MIDNIGHT. AFTER MIDNIGHT...NORTHERLY WINDS ARRIVE
AND PICK UP SOON AFTER FROM NORTH TO SOUTH...RETURNING 7 TO 8 FOOT
SEAS TO THE GULF WATERS. LAGUNA WATERS SHOULD BE JUST UNDER 20 KNOTS
BUT WILL EVENTUALLY TOUCH 20 KNOTS AS THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS ON
WEDNESDAY. THE OTHER ISSUE TO WATCH THIS EVENING/OVERNIGHT IS THREAT
FOR THUNDERSTORMS...PARTICULARLY BEYOND 20 NM OUT AND SOUTH OF PORT
MANSFIELD.

IN GENERAL...NO RELIEF FROM THE DIFFICULT BOATING CONDITIONS RIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY.

FOR THE EXTENDED MARINE PERIOD...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...
STRONG NORTH WINDS AND HIGH SEAS WILL PREVAIL IN THE WAKE OF THE
COLD FRONT. SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS LIKELY TO CONTINUE THROUGH LATE
THURSDAY. LIGHT WINDS AND DIMINISHING SEAS ARE EXPECTED BRIEFLY
FRIDAY THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS
OVER THE CENTRAL GULF. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA MAYBE BE
EXCEEDED OVER THE WEEKEND AS SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS INCREASE AND THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT BEGINS TO TIGHTEN.

FIRE WEATHER...NO ISSUES TODAY AS HUMIDITY WILL JUST BEGIN TO FALL
ACROSS JIM HOGG/ZAPATA BEFORE SUNSET.  WINDS WILL STIFFEN FROM THE
NORTH ON WEDNESDAY AND COULD REACH 15 GUST 20 FOR A TIME IN ALL
AREAS...AIDED BY MECHANICAL MIXING WITH THE SUNSHINE. ALL MODELS
SHOWING AN INITIAL SURGE OF VERY DRY AIR...WITH THE NAM DROPPING
DEWPOINTS BELOW 20 FOR A TIME DURING THE AFTERNOON. WHILE THIS LOOKS
OVERDONE HAVE SEEN INITIAL DRY PUNCHES FROM THE LEE OF THE ROCKIES
IN THE PAST...SO WOULD NOT BE SURPRISE TO SEE RH DIP INTO THE 15 TO
20 PERCENT RANGE FROM WESTERN HIDALGO/BROOKS OUT TO ZAPATA.  MOST
LIKELY A FIRE DANGER STATEMENT WILL BE NEEDED...BUT NO RED FLAGS ARE
EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

CLIMATE...MCALLEN/MILLER HAS A SHOT AT TYING A RECORD THIS
AFTERNOON...93 LAST SET IN 1964. WHILE WE'RE UNDERFORECASTING BY
A DEGREE OR TWO IT'S SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON. BROWNSVILLE'S
ALL TIME RECORD WAS 95 IN IN 1989...WHICH LOOKS SAFE FOR NOW.
