AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
1202 AM CDT TUE JUL 10 2012

.DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR LATEST AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD. CONVECTION OVER CENTRAL TEXAS
WILL DIMINISH OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS BUT MID/HIGH CLOUDS WILL
INFILTRATE THE REGION THIS TAF PERIOD. WINDS WILL INCREASE AND
BECOME GUSTY BY MID MORNING WITH CUMULUS ALSO DEVELOPING AROUND
THIS TIME. CONVECTION LOOKS TO BEGIN DEVELOPING IN THE AFTERNOON
HOURS ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW ATTM IF TSTORMS
WILL AFFECT TAF SITES SO LEFT MENTION OUT OF TAFS. WINDS WILL
DIMINISH TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 710 PM CDT MON JUL 9 2012/

DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR LATEST AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

AVIATION...LATEST TAF PACKAGE NOT QUITE AS STRAIGHTFORWARD AS IT
LOOKS. VFR ON ITS FACE. MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES TONIGHT WILL CLOUD UP
TUESDAY MORNING BUT CEILINGS WILL REMAIN VFR. MODERATE TO BREEZY
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INFLUX AND SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL BE DRIVEN BY
BROAD HIGH PRESSURE IN THE NORTH GULF AND LOWER PRESSURE INLAND
WEST...NOT IN THE PLAINS WHERE HIGH PRESSURE WILL PUSH A FRONT
INTO CENTRAL AND SOUTH TEXAS. MOST CLOUDS...ON THE OTHER HAND...
WILL BE MID TO UPPER LEVEL AS UNSETTLED WEATHER AND CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...NORTHWEST GULF AND
EAST TEXAS...ALL UNDER A MID LEVEL WEAKNESS...SPREADS SOUTH ON A
NORTH FLOW ALOFT. SOME OF THE CONVECTION WILL MAKE IT DOWN TO THE
SOUTHERN PART OF THE MID TEXAS COAST AND EVEN INTO THE NORTHERN
LOWER TEXAS COAST AREA...BUT RIGHT NOW NOT EXPECTING IT TO DEVELOP
MUCH FARTHER SOUTH. THUS...AVIATION INTERESTS WILL WANT TO BE
CONCERNED WITH TRANSIT WEATHER TO AND FROM BROWNSVILLE ON TUESDAY.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 143 PM CDT MON JUL 9 2012/

SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...A MID LEVEL TROUGH
OVER THE LOUISIANA AND TEXAS BORDER WILL EXPAND SOUTHWARD ALONG THE
TEXAS COASTLINE THROUGH THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT AND
IT WILL REMAIN STATIONARY THROUGH THE SHORT TERM FORECAST. THIS WILL
CONTINUE TO ENHANCE ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
WESTERN GULF WATERS. SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS THE CWA WILL BEGIN TO
SHIFT SOUTHEASTERLY THIS AFTERNOON ADVECTING GULF MOISTURE INTO THE
AREA AND ALLOWING FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS TO DEVELOP ALONG THE COAST OF
THE CWA. EXPECT A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE THROUGH
THE NIGHT ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORTHEAST PORTION OF THE CWA INCLUDING
THE GULF WATERS. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN THE MID 70S ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA.

SLIGHTLY HIGHER PWATS VALUES CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY WITH THE UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH STRETCHING ALONG THE COAST AND WITH MID LEVEL COOLING
WILL LEAD TO A HIGHER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ACTIVITY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. HIGH TEMPERATURES TUESDAY WILL REMAIN IN THE MID 90S WITH
THE EXCEPTION OF THE FAR WEST REACHING THE TRIPLE DIGITS. DID NOT
MAKE ANY BIG CHANGES TO TEMPERATURES TUESDAY AS CLOUD COVER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL KEEP CONDITIONS IN THE LOWER 90S.

LONG TERM.../WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...A LOOK AT THE BIG
PICTURE SHOWS A NEARLY STATIONARY UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE GREAT
BASIN REGION...WHILE AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH LINGERS OVER THE
EASTERN US. THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND DEEP SOUTH TEXAS REMAIN
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE TROUGH THROUGH THE PERIOD. A STATIONARY
FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHED ACROSS CENTRAL TEXAS COMBINED WITH
DAYTIME HEATING AND MOISTURE POOLING AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL ALLOW
FOR CONVECTION TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT...BUT THE GREATEST
PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL REMAIN FAR NORTH OF THE CWA. AS THE
WEEK PROGRESSES THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL WASH OUT. MAINTAINED
PREVIOUS POP FORECAST AND KEPT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE PERIOD AS AN EAST SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW AND
SLIGHTLY DEEPENING MOISTURE SHOULD ALLOW FOR A MORE ACTIVE SEA
BREEZE.

MARINE...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...EXPECT SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO INCREASE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS A WEAK
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ALONG THE TEXAS COAST GRADUALLY ENHANCES
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. CONVECTION WILL INCREASE INTO TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AS MOISTURE IN THE AREA INCREASES. SEAS WILL REMAIN LOW
BETWEEN 2 TO 4 FEET OVER THE COASTAL WATERS WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE
SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...LIGHT TO MODERATE WINDS AND LOW TO
MODERATE SEAS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD AS HIGH
PRESSURE REMAINS OVER THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO. SMALL CRAFT MAY
NEED TO EXERCISE CAUTION ON WEDNESDAY AS WINDS INCREASE SLIGHTLY.
