ARE NOTED ACROSS NORTHEAST TEXAS...SUCH A STRONG TEMPERATURE
INVERSION WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO OVERCOME AND FEEL LOW CLOUDS
WILL REMAIN IN PLACE MOST OF THE DAY. INDEED...LATEST GFS TIME
HEIGHT PLOTS INDICATE LOW CLOUDS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE AT LEAST
THROUGH THIS EVENING...AND HAVE SIDED WITH IT FOR TODAY AND
TONIGHT WHILE DISCARDING THE 12Z NAM WHICH BELIEVES IT SHOULD BE
MOSTLY CLEAR ALREADY. THUS HAVE ADJUSTED SKY COVER UPWARD FOR ALL
ZONES TODAY INTO TONIGHT AND KEPT HIGHS FOR TODAY WELL BELOW MOS
GUIDANCE FORECAST...WHICH INHERITED FORECAST ALREADY HAS COVERED
WELL.
SHAMBURGER

EFFECT UNTIL 8 AM THIS MORNING FOR THE LAKES AREA OF SOUTHEAST
TEXAS AND CENTRAL LOUISIANA. TEMPERATURES HAVE REACHED THEIR
LOWEST POINT WITH JUST SOME ISOLATED RURAL MESO-NET SITES REACHING

AVIATION...
STRONG SFC LOW HAS MOVED OFF TO THE EAST WITH JUST A WIDESPREAD
OVC DECK REMAINING OVER THE AREA. CIGS HAVE BEEN STEADY OVERNIGHT
RANGING FM 400-700 FT. THESE IFR CIGS SHOULD PERSIST THROUGH MID
MORNING AND COULD OCCASIONALLY LOWER TO LIFR AT TIMES. MODEL
GUIDANCE DIFFERS ON TIMING AND EXTENT OF CIGS LIFTING/BREAKING UP
WITH NAM MUCH QUICKER IN CLEARING SKIES TODAY. EXPECT CIGS WILL

STRONG FRONTAL INVERSION IN PLACE...THUS LEANED TOWARD GFS
GUIDANCE WITH CIGS LIFTING TO MVFR BY EARLY AFTN. NERLY WINDS WILL
GRADUALLY SHIFT N THIS AFTN...WITH SPEEDS LESS THAN 10 KT.
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 432 AM CST MON JAN 10 2011/
DISCUSSION...
SURFACE LOW OVER THE NORTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO AND UPPER LEVEL TROF
OVER THE SOUTHEAST U.S. CONTINUE TO MOVE OFF TO THE EAST AND
NORTHEAST AND AWAY FROM THE FORECAST AREA. SOME WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE STILL IS TRAPPED BELOW A GOOD LOW LEVEL TEMPERATURE
INVERSION...AND THIS IS HELPING KEEP SURFACE TEMPERATURES UP A BIT
WITH MOST OBSERVATIONS REPORTING JUST ABOVE THE FREEZING MARK IN
THE LAKES AREA OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND CENTRAL LOUISIANA. WILL LET
THE CURRENT FREEZE WARNING FOR THAT AREA RIDE AT THE MOMENT...AS
STILL A COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE SUNRISE AND COULD BE SOME FREEZING
TEMPS IN RURAL LOCATIONS.
WILL UNDERCUT GUIDANCE HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR TODAY AS GUT FEELING
TELLS ME THAT IN THESE SITUATIONS IT IS TOUGH FOR CLOUDS TO FULLY
SCATTER OUT WITH SUCH STRONG INVERSION TO STAY IN PLACE WITH WEST
TO WEST-SOUTHWEST WINDS ALOFT. COULD BE CLOSE TO A LIGHT FREEZE
OVER NORTHERN ZONES AGAIN TONIGHT...BUT AGAIN WILL DEPEND ON CLOUD
COVER SO WILL LET THE NEXT DECIDE ON ISSUING A NPW.
A VERY COLD CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA BEHIND
A COLD FRONT THAT WILL ARRIVE LATE TONIGHT/EARLY TUESDAY. THIS
SYSTEM WILL HELP DISSIPATE CLOUD COVER AS A DEEPER NORTHERLY FLOW
DEVELOPS AND A DRIER AIR MASS ADVECTS IN. AIR MASS WILL ONLY
MODIFY SLIGHTLY AS IT WILL MOVE OVER AREAS OF SNOW PACK TO THE
NORTH. DESPITE THE WINDS STAYING UP ON TUESDAY NIGHT/WEDNESDAY
MORNING...A HARD FREEZE WILL BE LIKELY FOR AREA ALONG AND NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 10...WITH A LIGHT FREEZE TO THE COAST.
THE VERY COLD CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY...THIS TIME
AS MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUD DECK DEVELOPS LATE IN THE DAY AS SHORT
WAVE BEGINS TO FORM AND PUSH IN FROM THE WEST KEEPING HIGH
TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S. THIS SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA ON LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY. LOOKS LIKE LOWER
LAYER WILL STILL BE TOO DRY...SO ANY PRECIP THAT MAY DEVELOP WILL
LIKELY STAY AS VIRGA AND EVAPORATE BEFORE REACHING THE GROUND.
TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN TO WARM ON FRIDAY...AS HIGH PRESSURE
FINALLY PUSHES OFF TO THE EAST AND A LIGHT SOUTHEAST FLOW RETURN.
THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS OVER THE WEEKEND AHEAD OF THE
NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM...WHICH IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS ON SUNDAY.
RUA
MARINE...
AS LOW PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO CONTINUES TO
MOVE TO THE EAST...GRADIENT OVER THE COASTAL WATERS IS
RELAXING...THEREFORE...WINDS AND SEAS ARE ALSO GRADUALLY
SUBSIDING. MSAS ANALYSIS AND OBSERVATIONS ARE NOT SHOWING ANY
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS SO HAVE GONE AHEAD AND CANCELLED
THE SCA.
NORTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE AGAIN LATE TONIGHT AND ON TUESDAY AS
A COLD HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM BUILDS INTO THE REGION. THIS WILL
ALLOW WINDS TO BUILD TO EXERCISE CAUTION AFTER MIDNIGHT AND SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY BEYOND 20 NM ON
TUESDAY...CONTINUING THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
WINDS WILL DECREASE DURING THURSDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFF TO
THE EAST.
