Area forecast discussion, Mar 6, 5:55 PM CST, 2 hours 57 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
555 PM CST TUE MAR 6 2012
.DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR LATEST AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.
&&
.AVIATION...SATELLITE IMAGES AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATED
SOME MID LEVEL CLOUDS ACROSS THE CWA LATE THIS AFTERNOON. CEILINGS
WERE NEAR 4400FT AT KHRL AND KT65 TO NEAR 5000FT AT KBKS. EXPECT
MVFR CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
INCREASES ALLOW LOW CLOUDS TO DEVELOP AFTER 09Z TONIGHT. CEILINGS
SHOULD IMPROVE AFTER 15Z WEDNESDAY AS STRONGER WINDS ALOFT MIX
DOWN TO THE SURFACE WITH DIURNAL HEATING. EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO
PREVAIL WEDNESDAY WITH A STRONG ONSHORE FLOW PREVAILING.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 256 PM CST TUE MAR 6 2012/
SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/A 1039MB HIGH
PRESSURE DOME OVER THE MID ATLANTIC STATES WILL EXTEND SOUTHWEST
INTO AND WEST ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST...AND ALSO INTO THE NORTH
AND WEST GULF OF MEXICO. THIS FEATURE WILL INTERACT WITH LOWER
PRESSURE INLAND TO THE WEST AND NORTH OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS
TO KEEP THE WIND MACHINE ON IN DEEP SOUTH TEXAS AND THE LOWER RIO
GRANDE VALLEY. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL WITH LITTLE
CHANCE FOR RAIN...LEAVING WINDS AS THE MAIN ACTOR IN THIS SCENE.
ONLY A SLIGHT LET UP IN WINDS IS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT...BUT MOISTURE
WILL MOVE ASHORE ENHANCING LOW LEVEL CLOUDINESS AFTER MIDNIGHT AND
ON INTO WEDNESDAY. DESPITE INCREASED CLOUDS AND THUS LESS MIXING
ON WEDNESDAY...THE GRADIENT WILL REMAIN TIGHT WITH PRESSURE FALLS
IN WEST TEXAS IN ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING MID LEVEL LOW. THUS...
A WIND ADVISORY WILL STILL BE A THREAT.
LONG TERM.../THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/ LONG TERM SENSIBLE WEATHER
WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT OF FUTURE TRACK AND POSITION OF A MID TO
UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE TROUGH EXPECTED SOMEWHERE OVER THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST OR SOUTHERN ROCKIES THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. LOW
CONFIDENCE FORECAST CONTINUES WITH MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUING
TO DIVERGE ON SOLUTIONS. BATTLE OF THE SEASONS WOULD SUGGEST A
WEAKER FRONT BUT STRONG FRONTS DO OCCASIONALLY MAKE THEIR WAY INTO
THE VALLEY IN MARCH. CURRENT THINKING IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE
PREVIOUS FORECAST BUT SLOWS DOWN THE FRONT BY 6 HOURS AND WEAKENS
THE NORTH SURGE. THE FRONT IS NOW EXPECTED TO CLEAR THE RIO GRANDE
RIVER AND SOUTHEAST COAST BY NOON FRIDAY AND CAN SURELY BE DELAYED
EVEN MORE WITH THE MID LEVEL LOW BECOMING TEMPORARILY CUT OFF
FARTHER WEST. POP AND TEMPERATURE FORECAST REMAIN A CHALLENGE
FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES WERE ADJUSTED UP SLIGHTLY BUT
REMAIN BELOW NORMAL AND CLOSE TO THE GFS GUIDANCE. CHANCE POPS
WERE BROAD BRUSHED WITH UNCERTAINTY IF THE FRONT STALLS ALONG THE
COAST OR JUST OFFSHORE AND THE EVENTUAL APPROACH OF THE MID LEVEL
TROUGH ITSELF. ADDITIONAL UPDATES AND CHANGES ARE EXPECTED IN THE
COMING DAYS.
MARINE...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...BUOY020 REPORTS
MODERATE SOUTH SOUTHEAST WINDS WITH A WAVE HEIGHT OF 5 FEET EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON. THE KEY THEME THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS WILL BE
WIND. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE IN THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL INTERACT
WITH DEEPENING LOWER PRESSURE UPSTREAM IN THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS
AND WEST TEXAS AS AN ADVANCING MID LEVEL LOW OVER THE SOUTHWEST
UNITED STATES PRODUCES PRESSURE FALLS AHEAD OF IT. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL BECOME ONGOING BY THIS EVENING DUE TO
PERSISTENT SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH WINDS NEAR 20 KNOTS AND SEAS NEAR 7
FEET. WINDS ON THE LAGUNA WILL DECREASE TONIGHT BUT SHOULD BE AT
OR NEAR ADVISORY CRITERIA BY MID MORNING TO MID DAY WEDNESDAY.
THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...ONSHORE FLOW COULD BE WEAKENING LATER
THURSDAY AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE COAST FRIDAY. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CONDITIONS TO LINGER INTO THURSDAY AND MAYBE INTO FRIDAY
IF SEAS DO NOT SUBSIDE. COLD FRONT TO MOVE OFFSHORE SOMETIME LATE
FRIDAY MORNING BUT COULD BE DELAYED INTO SATURDAY DEPENDING ON
UPPER LOW POSITION OVER THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES. ONCE THE FRONT MOVES
THROUGH STRONG NORTH WINDS ARE POSSIBLE WITH SEAS MIXING WITH A
SOUTHEAST SWELL. ADVERSE WEATHER IS EXPECTED MUCH OF THE WEEKEND.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY FRIDAY WITH SCATTERED
ACTIVITY THROUGH SUNDAY.
