1229 PM CDT SAT OCT 6 2012

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

&&

.AVIATION...CONDS WILL BE VFR FOR THE REST OF TODAY AND THIS
EVENING. OVERNIGHT...A COLD FRONT WILL MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE
AREA AND PASS THROUGH THE TERMINALS BY MID MORNING SUNDAY. MOISTURE
WILL INCREASE AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOWING A
POSSIBILITY OF SHRA OR DZ BEFORE DAWN. ALSO...THE INCREASE IN LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE WILL LEAD TO MVFR CIGS FROM OVERNIGHT THROUGH THE
END OF THE TAF PERIOD. WINDS WILL SWITCH TO THE NORTHEAST AND
BECOME GUSTY AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 622 AM CDT SAT OCT 6 2012/

DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR LATEST AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

AVIATION...SATELLITE IMAGES AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE
CLEAR SKIES ACROSS THE CWA THIS MORNING. EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO
PREVAIL ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY TODAY BEFORE MVFR CEILINGS
DEVELOP TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS A COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA
LATE TONIGHT. LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE MAY DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT INTO
EARLY SUNDAY AS MOISTURE POOLS ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 305 AM CDT SAT OCT 6 2012/

SHORT TERM.../TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...FORECAST COMPUTER MODELS APPEAR
TO BE BETTER IN AGREEMENT WITH THE SHALLOW COOLER AIR MASS ACROSS THE
NORTH CENTRAL UNITED STATES THIS MORNING MOVING SOUTHWARD INTO THE
RIO GRANDE VALLEY LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY. THE QUESTION
REMAINS HOW MUCH THE COOLER AIR WILL MODIFY BEFORE MOVING INTO THE
AREA AND IF THERE IS ENOUGH MOISTURE FOR OVERRUNNING CONDITIONS TO
DEVELOP IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. WILL GO AHEAD AND BLEND
ADJ MET MOS GUIDANCE WITH CURRENT SHORT TERM FORECAST FOR
TEMPERATURES TONIGHT AND SUNDAY AS WELL AS POPS BUT KEEP SLIGHT
CHANCE OF SHOWERS FOR TONIGHT AND CHANCE OF SHOWERS SUNDAY. WITH
THAT SAID...COOLER AND CLOUDIER CONDITIONS EXPECTED ON SUNDAY
COMPARED TO THE WARM AND PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES TODAY.

LONG TERM.../SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SHORTWAVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS WILL MOVE E/SE WITHIN THE FLOW
OF THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM OVER CANADA. THIS WILL PUSH SURFACE FRONT
FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS THE VALLEY SUNDAY. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WILL
KEEP TEMPERATURES GRADUALLY IN THE MID 70S TO MID 80S. THE CENTER OF
THE HIGH PRESSURE DEPICTED BY THE LATEST 06Z GFS MODEL RUN BRINGS
THE CORE OF THIS COLD AIR MASS ALONG THE OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS BORDER
WHICH IS A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH COMPARED TO YESTERDAY.  A BAND OF
SHOWERS SOUTH OF THE BORDER WILL INITIATE AND ENHANCE CONVECTION AS
SURFACE FRONT STALLS SOUTH OF THE BORDER. EXPECT E/SE AS WINDS
QUICKLY SHIFT. THE LOW TEMPERATURE WILL REMAIN IN THE MID TO UPPER
60S AND HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S.

ANOTHER CLOSED LOW OVER THE PACIFIC COAST WILL GRADUALLY MOVE
EASTWARD ALLOWING RIDGE TO BUILD FROM THE WEST ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PLAINS INCREASING SOUTHEAST WINDS THROUGH THE WEEK. HIGH
TEMPERATURES REMAIN ON THE MID TO UPPER 80S. ANOTHER FRONT MOVES
SOUTH BUT IT IS NOT AS COMPARED ABUNDANT MOISTURE AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM.

MARINE...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY...SEAS WERE NEAR 2 FEET WITH SE
WINDS NEAR 10 KNOTS AT BUOY020 EARLY THIS MORNING. LIGHT TO
MODERATE SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL BACK TO THE EAST ACROSS THE COASTAL
WATERS TODAY AND INCREASE FROM THE EAST TONIGHT BEFORE A COLD
FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND OFFSHORE THE LOWER
TEXAS COAST LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO
THE NORTHEAST AND INCREASE SUN MORNING AS A RESULT. SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR THE LOWER TX COAST LATE
TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY.

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
STRONG GUSTY WINDS BEHIND THIS FRONT SUNDAY WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR
SAC CONDITIONS DURING THE DAY OVER THE GULF WATERS AND THE LAGUNA
MADRE. EXPECT SEAS BETWEEN 2 TO 4 FEET TO INCREASE BETWEEN 6 TO 7
FROM MONDAY TO SUNDAY DUE TO THIS FRONT.
