AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
949 PM CST MON JAN 31 2011

.SHORT TERM /REST OF TONIGHT THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY/...THE MAIN
CONCERN IS THE ARRIVAL OF THE ARCTIC COLD FRONT TUESDAY BUT WILL
NOT SEE TEMPERATURES DROP DRAMATICALLY UNTIL TUES NIGHT INTO WED
MORNING. PRIOR TO THE FRONT ARRIVING...PATCHY FOG WILL LIKELY
DEVELOP ACROSS THE COASTAL SECTIONS LATE TONIGHT AND MOVE INLAND
AS WINDS DIMINISH AT THE SURFACE. BELIEVE STRONG WINDS ALOFT WILL
PROVIDE ENOUGH MIXING TO KEEP WIDESPREAD AND DENSE FOG FROM
DEVELOPING. THE OTHER CONCERN AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL BE RAIN
CHANCES AS SATELLITE AND RADAR IMAGES INDICATE ELEVATED CONVECTION
CONTINUES TO DEVELOP ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS TONIGHT AHEAD OF
THE 500MB TROUGH ACROSS WEST TX AND NORTHERN MEXICO. EVEN THOUGH
MOISTURE WILL BE CONFINED TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE CWA...BELIEVE
THERE IS A SMALL WINDOW OF SURFACE BASED CONVECTION DEVELOPING
ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PORTIONS OF DEEP SOUTH TX AS THE CAP ACROSS
THE COASTAL BEND ERODES AND LAPSE RATES STEEPEN ENOUGH FOR SHOWERS
AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE COASTAL BEND AND
BACK BUILD INTO KENEDY COUNTY AND THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
COASTAL WATERS. WILL GO AHEAD AND MENTION POPS ACROSS THE COASTAL
SECTIONS OF THE CWA TUES MORNING AS A RESULT.

FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP LATE TUES NIGHT INTO
EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF
THE CWA AND REACH THE REST OF THE LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY WED
MORNING AS THE COLD ARCTIC AIR CONTINUES TO SPILL SOUTHWARD ACROSS
THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS. THEREFORE...WILL GO AHEAD AND EXPAND THE
FREEZE WATCH FOR TUES NIGHT/WED MORNING FOR THE ENTIRE CWA.

.LONG TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...THE COLD AIRMASS WILL
REMAIN IN PLACE ON WEDNESDAY AS THE COLD HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES
TO SIT TO THE NORTH OF THE REGION AND BRING NORTHERLY WINDS TO THE
LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY REGION. DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY...A DEEP
TROUGH WILL BE PIVOTING SOUTHEAST FROM THE ROCKIES REGION. THIS
WILL REACH CENTRAL TEXAS BY THURSDAY EVENING. THIS FEATURE WILL
BRING INCREASING PRECIP CHANCES BEGINNING LATE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...AND INCREASING THURSDAY EVENING. MODEL FORECAST SOUNDINGS
CONTINUE TO SHOW THAT THIS PRECIP COULD BRING A WINTRY MIX...WITH
PRIMARILY SLEET BEING OBSERVED. HOWEVER...A LITTLE SNOW COULD BE
MIXED INTO THE REGION AS WELL. THE WINTRY MIX SHOULD MOVE EAST OUT
OF THE AREA FRIDAY MORNING.

AS MENTIONED...TEMPERATURES WILL BE RATHER COLD.  LOWS WEDNESDAY
NIGHT WILL BE BELOW FREEZING FOR ALL LOCATIONS...WITH MANY LOCATIONS
LIKELY SEEING A HARD FREEZE.  THE TEMPERATURES WILL NOT WARM MUCH ON
THURSDAY. HIGHS WILL ONLY BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S FOR SEVERAL
LOCATIONS.  THEREFORE...THERE WILL LIKELY BE A PROLONGED PERIOD OF
FREEZING TEMPERATURES AS THE TIME ABOVE FREEZING ON THURSDAY WILL BE
LIMITED.

TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN TO IMPROVE MOVING INTO THE WEEKEND AS THE
HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO SHIFT TO THE EAST.  THIS WILL BRING A RETURN
OF ONSHORE FLOW BACK TO THE REGION BY SATURDAY NIGHT.  BY SUNDAY
TEMPERATURES SHOULD RETURN TO NEAR NORMAL WITH HIGHS EXPECTED TO
REACH THE LOWER AND MID 70S.  OVERALL NO CHANGES WERE NEEDED TO THE
LONG TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST THIS EVENING.

&&

.AVIATION...SATELLITE IMAGES AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE
MOSTLY LOW TO MID LEVEL CLOUDS ACROSS MOST OF DEEP SOUTH TEXAS WITH
HIGH CLOUDS STREAMING ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CWA THIS EVENING.
CEILINGS WERE NEAR 1100FT AT KT65 TO NEAR 3400FT AT KBRO.
VISIBILITIES WERE NEAR 3SM WITH FOG AT KSPL. EXPECT MVFR TO IFR
CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP TONIGHT AS PATCHY FOG AND LOW CEILINGS DEVELOP
AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY
TUES MORNING. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL TUESDAY AS DRIER AIR
FILTERS INTO THE AREA IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. VAD WINDS INDICATE
MAX WINDS OF 35 KTS AT 5000FT SO WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION LOW LEVEL
WIND SHEAR AS WINDS DIMINISH AT THE SURFACE BEFORE FRONTAL PASSAGE
TUES MORNING.

&&

.MARINE...REST OF TONIGHT THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY...SEAS WERE NEAR 3
FEET WITH SOUTHEAST WINDS NEAR 14 KNOTS AT BUOY020 THIS EVENING.
WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHEAST TONIGHT BEFORE VEERING TO THE
SOUTHWEST AND WEST LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING AS A
STRONG COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE COASTAL WATERS. WILL GO AHEAD AND
RAISE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES FOR ALL OF THE COASTAL WATERS EARLIER
TONIGHT AND CONTINUE SCA/GALE WATCH FOR THE OFFSHORE WATERS
TUESDAY/TUES AFTERNOON THROUGH TUES NIGHT AS WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE
NORTHWEST TUESDAY AND INCREASE TO NEAR GALE FORCE TUES AFTERNOON
WITH GUSTS OF GALE FORCE OR HIGHER LIKELY THROUGH TUES EVENING. THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL REMAIN VERY STRONG ACROSS THE WESTERN GULF OF
MEXICO TUES NIGHT WITH SEAS BUILDING RAPIDLY OFFSHORE. THE GALE
WATCH WILL LIKELY BE REPLACED BY GALE WARNINGS AS A RESULT.

6 AM WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...NORTHWEST TO NORTH WINDS WILL
REMAIN SOMEWHAT STRONG FOR THE LOWER TEXAS COASTAL WATERS FOR
WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. THE SEAS WILL INCREASE AND REMAIN
ELEVATED THROUGH THIS TIME PERIOD AS A RESULT. THEREFORE...SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE CONTINUED THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT OR
SATURDAY DUE TO THESE ADVERSE MARINE CONDITIONS. THE WINDS MAY EVEN
GUST TO GALE FORCE AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY THURSDAY AND THURSDAY
NIGHT. THIS MAY WARRANT GALE WARNINGS FOR THIS TIME PERIOD ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE LOWER TEXAS COASTAL WATERS. WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE
TO AROUND 20 KNOTS OVER THE LAGUNA MADRE FOR THURSDAY AND INTO
THURSDAY NIGHT...WHICH MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES FOR THIS AREA AS WELL. IN ADDITION TO INCREASING WINDS ON
THURSDAY...AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING OVER THE REGION
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING WILL BRING THE CHANCE FOR SOME
SHOWERS TO THE AREA. A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE POSSIBLE
FOR THE COASTAL LOCATIONS DURING THIS TIME FRAME.  CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED TO BEGIN IMPROVING BY FRIDAY EVENING.  THE WINDS AND SEAS
WILL DECREASE TO BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR THE LOWER
TEXAS COASTAL WATERS BY SATURDAY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH DEEP SOUTH
TEXAS TUESDAY BRINGING DRIER AIR INITIALLY WITH STRONG WINDS
DEVELOPING IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE LATE TUES MORNING INTO
EARLY TUES AFTERNOON. THE COMBINATION OF STRONG WINDS AND RELATIVE
HUMIDITY LEVELS FALLING TO THE LOWER 20S AND POSSIBLY UPPER TEENS
WILL RESULT IN CRITICAL CONDITIONS FOR WILDFIRE BEHAVIOR ACTIVITY.
THEREFORE...WILL CONTINUE RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE CWA TUESDAY AS
FUELS REMAIN CURED ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA.
