.DISCUSSION...SEE AVIATION SECTION BELOW FOR 00Z TAF DISCUSSION.
&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL OVER THE REGIONAL AIRPORTS
THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS TEMPO MVFR CIG DUE TO SC FRIDAY MORNING.
WINDS WILL BE LIGHT TO MODERATE FROM THE SOUTHEAST TONIGHT
BECOMING MODERATE TO STRONG FROM THE SOUTHEAST ON FRIDAY.
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 156 PM CST THU DEC 1 2011/

..DECEMBER: IN LIKE A LAMB BUT IT WON'T LAST...

SHORT TERM /THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...THE WIND
MACHINE INDEED WAS REVITALIZED THIS MORNING AND DRY AIR IS HELPING
TO MAINTAIN GOOD MECHANICAL MIXING AS WELL AS BRINGING ONE MORE
DAY OF RELATIVELY DRY AIR TO THE SURFACE. TEMPERATURES ARE ON
TRACK FOR THE 84 TO 86 HIGHS LOWER VALLEY AND 79 TO 83 OR SO
ELSEWHERE...AND HAVE ADJUSTED SKY COVER TO ACCOUNT FOR MOSTLY
CLEAR CONDITIONS.

THE LAST VESTIGES OF DEEP DRY AIR WITH THIS PATTERN WILL START
TONIGHT...BUT IT WILL FEEL MORE LIKE EARLIER IN NOVEMBER AS
DEW POINTS GRADUALLY RECOVER.  UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES FOR THE
BALANCE OF THE NIGHT WINDS WILL DIMINISH BUT REMAIN ABOVE 5 KNOTS
PRECLUDING ANY FOG DEVELOPMENT.  TOWARD DAYBREAK...MODEL CROSS
SECTIONS AND POINT SOUNDINGS SHOW THICKENING LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE...AND EXPECT PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND PERHAPS A
SLIGHT INCREASE IN WIND BY SUNRISE.  LOW TEMPERATURES A LITTLE
TRICKY DEPENDING ON ARRIVAL OF CLOUDS...BUT FOR NOW HAVE GONE JUST A
HAIR ABOVE GUIDANCE...ABOVE CLIMATOLOGICAL AVERAGES BUT STILL
RELATIVELY COMFORTABLE IN THE UPPER 50S WEST TO LOW/MID 60S EAST.

PLENTY OF CLOUDS AROUND FRIDAY AND A DEFINITE RETURN TO TYPICAL
VALLEY HUMIDITY AS DEW POINTS REMAIN IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S.
WITH ATMOSPHERE WARMING AND A MUCH WARMER START THAN TODAY SHOULD
HAVE NO TROUBLE REACHING THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S...A LITTLE LESS
THAN TODAY OWING TO CLOUD COVER BUT STILL FEELING MILD.  SOUTHEAST
WINDS WILL KICK UP AGAIN BUT CLOUDS SHOULD MITIGATE THREAT FOR WIND
ADVISORY...20 TO 25 MPH AND GUSTY SHOULD DO IT. AS FOR
PRECIPITATION...MOISTURE IS TRAPPED BELOW THE INVERSION AND PLENTY
DRY ABOVE. WITH THICKNESS EXTENDING UP TO 800 MB EXPECT AN ISOLATED
SHOWER MAINLY EAST OF HIGHWAY 281 AND HAVE RETAINED MENTION FOR NOW.

FRIDAY NIGHT WILL SEE CONTINUING CLOUDS WHICH WILL KEEP A MODERATE
BREEZE GOING...PARTICULARLY NEAR THE COAST.  LOW LEVEL JET COMES
INTO PLAY AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH GFS CARRYING 40 TO 45 KNOT SPEEDS
BETWEEN 925 AND 850 MB...AND MAY SEE SOME GUSTINESS BETWEEN 06Z AND
09Z. THE BREEZE...CLOUDS...AND MODIFYING AIR MASS WILL ENSURE A
BALMY HUMID NIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES PROBABLY NOT DIPPING BELOW 70
UNTIL LATE...IF AT ALL...IN THE LOWER/MID VALLEY AND FALLING INTO
THE 60S ELSEWHERE.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE
UPSTREAM WILL MAKE FOR A WINDY MID MORNING TO AFTERNOON SATURDAY AS
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS IN INTERACTION WITH HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE NORTH GULF. HIGHS ON SATURDAY SHOULD BE ABLE TO PUSH INTO
THE LOWER 80S. MINIMUMS SATURDAY NIGHT WILL BE MAINLY IN THE 60S.
NOW SEEING A BIT MORE CONSISTENCY IN THE GFS MODEL...SUPPORTING THE
ARRIVAL OF A COLD FRONT SUNDAY EVENING. THE SHALLOW COLD AIR WEDGE
MAY BE ABLE TO GENERATE A RUMBLE OF THUNDER...BUT NOT EXPECTING A
BIG SHOW OVER LAND. SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL TURN INTO LIGHT RAIN AND
DRIZZLE UNDER A THICK CANOPY OF STEELY GRAY CLOUDS OVERNIGHT...BUT
EVEN TEMPS SUNDAY WILL BE MODERATED BY INCREASED CLOUD COVER EVEN IF
THE FRONT ARRIVES IN THE LOWER VALLY AFTER PEAK HEATING. MUCH COOLER
TEMPS WILL BE ON TAP SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...WITH LOW TO MID 40S
ACROSS THE CWA SUNDAY NIGHT...FOLLOWED BY GNAWING MODERATE TO BREEZY
NORTH WINDS AND HIGH TEMPERATURES MONDAY IN THE LOW TO MID 50S. HAVE
MAINTAINED FORECAST CONSISTENCY BY UNDERCUTTING GUIDANCE ON TEMPS...
WHICH IS NOW STARTING TO FALL IN LINE WITH THE FORECAST AND SHED ITS
RELIANCE ON CLIMATOLOGY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO FILTER IN
MONDAY NIGHT...WHILE THICK CLOUD COVER BANKS UP AGAINST THE HIGHER
TERRAIN TO THE SOUTH...KEEPING THE DREARY WEATHER IN PLACE LOCALLY.
SOUTHWEST WINDS ALOFT WILL HELP SEAL THE LID ON THE OVER RUNNING
SITUATION. A CHANCE OF LIGHT RAIN AND DRIZZLE WILL CONTINUE MONDAY
NIGHT. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE COLDER MONDAY NIGHT...WITH MID 30S
POSSIBLE IN THE UPPER VALLEY TO LOW OR MID 40S NEAR THE COAST. TEMPS
WILL AGAIN BE IN THE 50S ON TUESDAY...THOUGH A FEW LESS CLOUDS AND
MAYBE SOME BREAKS MAY ALLOW THE UPPER VALLEY TO ADD A FEW EXTRA
TICKS TO THE MERCURY IN THE AFTERNOON. A THIRD NIGHT OF COOLER TEMPS
WILL OCCUR TUESDAY NIGHT...SIMILAR TO MONDAY NIGHT. NORTH WINDS WILL
BECOME LIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE SPREADS OUT AND EAST AND THE GRADIENT
LOOSENS. WEST SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL NOT BRING DRIER AIR TO THE
UPPER LEVELS QUITE YET AT THIS POINT. FINALLY...ON WEDNESDAY...HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL WARM INTO THE 60S...EVEN INTO THE UPPER 60S AT
THAT. COASTAL CLOUDINESS WILL REMAIN HOWEVER...AS EAST TO SOUTHEAST
GULF WINDS RETURN LATER IN THE DAY. COASTAL SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING WITH THE SURFACE CONVERGENCE
BROUGHT ON BY THE INCREASE IN SOUTHEAST WINDS PUSHING ASHORE.
OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE A LITTLE MORE PALATABLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...
SNEAKING INTO THE MID AND UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S. RELATIVELY BALMY
FEELING BUT SEASONAL WEATHER WILL RETURN THURSDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE
70S AND LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTHEAST WINDS. PESKY COASTAL SHOWERS
COULD CONTINUE.

MARINE...THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT:  LAGUNA WINDS EDGING
TOWARD 20 KNOTS AS I WRITE...AND ADVISORY WILL BE HELD THROUGH
SUNSET WITH UPDATED STATEMENT ALREADY OUT. GULF WINDS HAVE BEEN
SOLIDLY IN CAUTION (15 TO 20 KNOT) RANGE THIS AFTERNOON...MARINE
LAYER HAVING SOME IMPACT BUT NOT A TOTAL DROP AS SEAS ARE HEADED
TOWARD 5 FEET.

THIS INCREASES CONFIDENCE FOR ADVISORY WINDS TONIGHT IN THE GULF.
RAW DATA...GUIDANCE...AND UPWARD TREND SUGGEST 6 OR MORE HOURS OF
20-22 KNOT WINDS WITH SEAS BUILDING TO 6 FEET...AND WILL HOIST
ADVISORY STARTING AT 9 PM.

ADVISORY CONDITIONS SHOULD CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY FOR A COMBINATION OF
WIND AN RISING SEAS. NORMALLY...DIURNAL EFFECTS WOULD CALM WINDS A
SHADE DURING THE DAY.  HOWEVER...SYNOPTIC INFLUENCE FROM DECAYING
FRONT IN CENTRAL TEXAS LOOKS TO MAINTAIN ENOUGH GRADIENT TO SUPPORT
CONTINUED 20 KNOT WINDS THROUGH THE DAYLIGHT HOURS...HENCE LEFT
ADVISORY RIGHT THROUGH SUNSET.

EXPECT A FURTHER INCREASE IN SOUTHEAST WINDS TOWARD 25 KNOTS
OVERNIGHT FRIDAY AS LOW LEVEL JET KICKS IN AND MOVES ACROSS...AND
SEAS SHOULD REACH 8 FEET FOR MOST OF THE WATERS BEFORE DAYBREAK
SATURDAY.  ANOTHER DIFFICULT BOATING PERIOD IS UNDERWAY...AND NO
SIGN OF RELIEF ANYTIME SOON.

SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...STRONG SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL CRANK OVER
THE GULF AND BAY SATURDAY AS LOW PRESSURE DEEPENS IN WEST TEXAS...
INTERACTING WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTH GULF AND TIGHTENING
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL BE
LIKELY...AND SEAS WILL INCREASE UP TO 10 FEET. WINDS WILL LET UP
SOME BY SATURDAY EVENING...BUT EXERCISE CAUTION TO LOW END SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS...DEPENDING ON THE SEAS...WILL CONTINUE
OFFSHORE...WITH LESSER WINDS ON THE BAY. THIS WILL BE DUE TO HIGH
PRESSURE PUSHING INTO THE STATE FROM UPSTREAM...AND FILLING IN THE
AFOREMENTIONED LOW PRESSURE. THE NEW AIR MASS WILL ALSO REPRESENT A
COLD FRONT. THE FRONT WILL SLIDE THROUGH LATER IN THE DAY SUNDAY...
WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE FRONT FOLLOWED BY
COOLER TEMPERATURES AND THICK CLOUD COVER WITH LIGHT RAIN AND
DRIZZLE SETTING UP BY MONDAY. IF SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS
FROM HIGH SEAS DID MANAGE TO DISAPPEAR BY LATE SUNDAY...THEY WILL
RETURN AS STRONG NORTH WINDS DEVELOP SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. A
BRIEF PERIOD OF GALE FORCE GUSTS MAY BE POSSIBLE TUESDAY MORNING.
WAVE HEIGHTS WILL INCREASE UP TO 12 FEET OFFSHORE TUESDAY BUT
CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN TO IMPROVE LATE TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE TAKES
CONTROL AND CENTERS OVER DEEP SOUTH TEXAS.

FIRE WEATHER...RED FLAG WARNING VERIFYING NICELY THIS AFTERNOON
AWAY FROM THE COAST AS DRY AIR IS MIXING UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S
DEW POINTS TO THE SURFACE WHILE TEMPERATURES SHOOT TOWARD THE LOW TO
MID 80S.  WITH 20 FOOT WINDS AT THE REQUIRED 20 TO 25 MPH LEVEL IN
EXPOSED AREAS AND HUMIDITY IN THE 25 PERCENT RANGE /WEST/ AND 25 TO
40 PERCENT RANGE /EAST/ ON TOP OF THE SUPER CURED FUELS AFTER THE
EXTREME DRY AIR OF RECENT DAYS...ANY FIRE WOULD SPREAD RAPIDLY THIS
AFTERNOON.

HUMIDITY RISES QUICKLY TONIGHT AS WINDS FALL...AND BOTH LOWER WIND
AND HIGHER HUMIDITY FRIDAY PRECLUDE ANY WATCHES OR WARNINGS AT THIS
POINT...THOUGH CAUTION IS STILL ADVISED WITH ELEVATED DANGER
CONTINUING.

FIRE WEATHER /LONG TERM/...BREEZY TO STRONG SOUTHEAST WINDS
SATURDAY WILL PRODUCE ERRATIC FIRE BEHAVIOR AND WILL INCREASE THE
RISK OF WILDFIRE GROWTH AND SPREAD. HOWEVER...RELATIVE HUMIDITY
VALUES WILL BE TOO HIGH...WITH AMPLE GULF MOISTURE IN PLAY...TO
TRIGGER ISSUANCE OF ANY FIRE WEATHER PRODUCTS. NORTH WINDS AT 20
FEET WILL INCREASE MONDAY AND TUESDAY BEHIND A COLD FRONT...BUT
MOISTURE WILL STILL BE A BIT HIGH...ESPECIALLY ON MONDAY. RELATIVE
HUMIDITY VALUES MAY DECREASE SUFFICIENTLY BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON TO
TALK ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE DANGER STATEMENT...BUT IT
STILL LOOKS A LITTLE MARGINAL RIGHT NOW.
