AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
145 PM CST TUE DEC 13 2011

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...500 MB RIDGING OVER
THE GULF OF MEX WILL SHIFT GRADUALLY EAST AS A SERIES OF STRONG
SHORT WAVES MOVE OVER THE DESERT SW AND NORTHERN MEXICO INTO THE
SOUTH CENTRAL PLAINS STATES. AS THESE SHORT WAVES DIG EASTWARDS A
STRONGER SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL DEVELOP OVER TX RESULTING IN
INCREASING S-SE SURFACE FLOW THROUGHOUT THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. THIS
S-SE FLOW WILL MAINTAIN GOOD LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION IN OFF OF
THE WESTERN GULF OF MEX. AS A RESULT OF THIS LOW LEVEL FLOW PATTERN
FAIRLY ABUNDANT CLD COVER WILL LIKELY PREVAIL ON THROUGH WED NIGHT.
SINCE THE MOISTURE IS CONFINED TO THOSE LEVELS BELOW 800 MB WITH
PRETTY DRY CONDITIONS EVIDENT ABOVE THIS LEVEL AND SOMEWHAT LIMITED
MID AND UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS DUE TO THE PERSISTENT RIDGING DO NOT
EXPECT ANY SIGNIFICANT POPS THROUGHOUT THE SHORT TERM. HOWEVER WILL
CONTINUE TO MENTION SOME 20% POPS INTO TONIGHT WITH SOME SILENT 10%
POPS FOR TOMORROW INTO TOMORROW NIGHT DUE TO THE PATCHY MARINE
SHOWER ACTIVITY CURRENTLY PLAGUING THE AREA.

EXPECTED SHORT TERM TEMPS WILL BE FAIRLY TRICKY AS MAV AND MET
GUIDANCE HAS QUITE A BIT OF DIFFERENCE ESPECIALLY CONCERNING THE
HIGH TEMPS FOR TOMORROW. MAV IS STUBBORNLY WANTING TO HOLD DOWN THE
HIGH TEMPS TOMORROW BELOW THE 80 DEGREE MARK WHILE THE MET GUIDANCE
SHOWS HIGHS TOMORROW AROUND THE REGION SHOOTING UP INTO THE 80S.
SINCE HIGHS TODAY FOR THE BRO AND HRL AREAS HAVE ALREADY REACHED
INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 80S AM SKEPTICAL OF THE COOLER MAV HIGH
TEMPS. SO WILL LEAN TOWARDS THE WARMER MET GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS.  LOW
TEMPS INDICATED BY THE MAV AND MET GUIDANCE ARE IN MUCH BETTER
AGREEMENT WITH NO REAL BIAS SHOWN BY EITHER MODEL. SO WILL GO CLOSE
TO THE MAV/MET CONSENSUS FOR TONIGHT AND TOMORROW NIGHT.

THE NEXT ISSUE OF CONCERN IS THE TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER
DEEP SOUTH TX. AT THIS TIME MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT WE WILL
SEE A SOUTHERLY LLJ TOMORROW AT 25 TO 30 KTS WHICH WILL LIKELY
RESULT IN BREEZY/WINDY CONDITIONS AFTER SUNRISE. HOWEVER SINCE THE
LLJ IS NOT EXPECTED TO EXCEED THE 30 KT MARK TOMORROW AND THE
DAYTIME CLD COVER WILL LIKELY BE PRETTY WIDESPREAD...THIS WILL
PROBABLY INHIBIT THE DOWNWARD MIXING OF THE LLJ. SO DO NOT
ANTICIPATE A WIND ADVISORY IN THE SHORT TERM. HOWEVER IF THE
EXPECTED LLJ STRENGTHENS LATER TONIGHT OR TOMORROW AND THE CLD COVER
IS LESS THAN ANTICIPATED...STRONGER SOUTHERLY WINDS MAY RESULT
POSSIBLY BORDERING ON ADVISORY CRIT.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...WINDS WILL BE LIGHT TO
MODERATE FROM THE SOUTHEAST ON THURSDAY AS THE COMBINATION OF LOW
PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT PLAINS AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GULF WILL
PRODUCE BREEZY WINDS. TEMPERATURES WILL RISE TO ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS
ON THURSDAY WITH AMPLE AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
COOLER BY FRIDAY AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA CAUSING
MORE CLOUD COVER AND INCREASING CHANCES FOR RAIN.  WINDS WILL BE
LIGHT TO MODERATE FROM THE NORTH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL MOVE EAST BY SUNDAY CAUSING A RETURN FLOW OF WARMER AIR FROM THE
SOUTHEAST. RAIN CHANCES WILL DECREASE BY SUNDAY OF NEXT WEEK.  A
COLD FRONT COULD MOVE THROUGH THE AREA BY TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK
CAUSING COOLER TEMPERATURES AND GUSTY NORTH WINDS ONCE AGAIN.
&&

.MARINE...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AS MENTIONED IN THE
SHORT TERM SEGMENT ABOVE THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BE INCREASING IN
THE SHORT TERM RESULTING IN STRONGER MARINE WINDS ALONG THE LOWER TX
BAY AND GULF WATERS. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY PUSH THE BAY AND GULF
CONDITIONS UP CLOSE TO SCA LEVELS STARTING EARLY TOMORROW. SINCE THE
BAY AND GULF WATER TEMPS ARE FAIRLY COOL HOLDING IN THE MID 60S THE
LLJ OVER THE MARINE AREAS MAY HAVE SOME DIFFICULTY MIXING DOWN TO
THE SURFACE DUE TO A PERSISTENT LOW LEVEL INVERSION DUE TO THE
RELATIVELY COOLER SSTS. THE BIGGEST THREAT FOR SCA CONDITIONS MAY BE
OVER THE LAGUNA MADRE FOR TOMORROW WHERE SOME OF THE STRONGER WINDS
INLAND MAY PUSH THE BAY CONDITIONS INTO SCA CRIT. AT THIS TIME WILL
NOT POST AN SCA FOR THE BAY FOR TOMORROW AND WILL DEFER TO THE
FOLLOWING FORECAST SHIFTS TO BETTER ASSESS THE POTENTIAL MARINE WIND
STRENGTH.

THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...WINDS AND SEAS WILL DECREASE BY THURSDAY
AS THE LOW PRESSURE TROUGH MOVES EAST. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE MARINE AREA ON FRIDAY CAUSING LIGHT TO MODERATE NORTH
WINDS AND MODERATE SEAS. CHANCES FOR RAIN WILL INCREASE BY THE END
OF THE WEEK AS A COASTAL TROUGH DEVELOPS ALONG THE DEEP SOUTH TEXAS
COASTLINE. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT TO MODERATE FROM THE SOUTHEAST ON
SUNDAY WITH LOW SEAS.  THE CHANCES FOR RAIN WILL DECREASE OVER THE
MARINE AREA ON SUNDAY.
