AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
148 PM CDT THU OCT 25 2012

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...THAT WHOOSH YOU HEAR
TOMORROW MORNING IS THE LAST GASP OF SUMMER GETTING PUSHED SOUTH
BY THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT COLD PUSH OF THE YEAR. THE COLD FRONT IS
CURRENTLY STRETCHED FROM THE DFW METROPLEX SOUTHWEST TO NEAR
SJT...MOVING SW AROUND 25MPH. THE EDGE OF THE FRONT SHOULD BE
REACHING THE BKS-HBV AREAS JUST AROUND SUNRISE TOMORROW...AND
SHOULD BE THROUGH KBRO RIGHT AROUND NOON. EXPECT THE FRONT TO
BRING A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AS IT PASSES...WITH BETTER CHANCES
ALONG THE RIVER WHERE MORE DAYTIME HEATING WILL PROVIDE INCREASED
LLVL INSTABILITY. DAYTIME HIGHS WILL VARY GREATLY...WITH NORTHERN
AREAS ONLY REACHING THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S BEFORE FALLING
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AREAS NEAR THE RIVER WILL SEE LOW TO MID
80S BEFORE THE FRONT...WITH A QUICK INITIAL DROP OFF INTO THE LOWER
70S AFTER PASSAGE. GOOD MOISTURE AND STABLE AIR ABOVE 2500 FT WILL
MEAN CLOUDY SKIES BEHIND THE FRONT. THIS WILL KEEP THE LOW FRIDAY
NIGHT FROM PLUNGING...BUT STILL FALLING INTO THE 50S.

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...THOUGH HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BE IN CONTROL OVER CENTRAL TEXAS ON SATURDAY...
IT WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN AFTER TOPPING OUT FRIDAY NIGHT. MID LEVEL
TROUGHING MOVING EAST OVER THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS WILL TEND TO
UNDERCUT THE RETREATING HIGH PRESSURE....THOUGH THE SOUTHERN
PORTION WILL REMAIN THE MAIN FEATURE OVER TEXAS AS MID LEVEL
RIDGING BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST WITH DRY AND STABLE NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT. THUS...A COOL WEEKEND WILL BE IN STORE UNDER CLOUDY SKIES.
SIGNIFICANT RAIN CHANCES WILL BE OVER SATURDAY BUT THE COOLER AIR
MASS WILL PROMOTE AN INVERSION LOCKING IN THE CLOUD COVER THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. TEMPS WILL STRUGGLE INTO THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S
ON SATURDAY...WITH THE LOWEST OVERNIGHT TEMPS COMING SATURDAY
NIGHT WITH UPPER 40S POSSIBLE IN THE FALFURRIAS TO HEBBRONVILLE
AREA AND 50S ELSEWHERE. TEMPS IN THE 70S WILL AGAIN BE ON TAP
SUNDAY. THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST IS ONE OF SLOW RECOVERY.
RETURN SOUTHEAST FLOW MAY BRING ISOLATED MARINE AND COASTAL
SHOWERS BACK INTO THE PICTURE BY MID WEEK...WITH TEMPS HITTING
AND EXCEEDING NORMAL VALUES BY THEN AS WELL.

&&

.MARINE...
TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...MODEST SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE NIGHT. A FEW STREAMER SHOWERS CAN BE EXPECTED AGAIN
RUNNING RIGHT ALONG THE COAST UNTIL DAWN. THE COLD FRONT RACES
ACROSS THE COASTAL ZONES TOMORROW LATE MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTN
WITH AN ABRUPT WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTH. THE SIGNIFICANT COLD POOL
WITH THE FRONT WILL HELP KICK WINDS UP TO 20 TO 25KTS WITH GUSTS
INTO THE LOWER 30S BRIEFLY ALONG THE FRONT. SEAS WILL RESPOND
PUSHING UP TO 8 TO 10 FEET. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE BEING
HOISTED NOW STARTING TOMORROW MORNING FOR THE COLD FRONT
PASSAGE...AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY NIGHT.

SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL SATURDAY MORNING WITH STRONG NORTH WINDS OFFSHORE AND WAVE
HEIGHTS AT SEVEN FEET OR MORE. ADVISORIES SHOULD LOWER LATER IN THE
DAY SATURDAY FOR ALL AREAS...HOWEVER...AS WINDS WEAKEN. A NORTHEAST
FETCH WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY AND WILL SUPPORT MODERATE WAVE
HEIGHTS. WINDS WILL WEAKEN AND SHIFT TO EAST AND THEN SOUTHEAST
MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...WHEN SEAS WILL DECREASE FROM MODERATE
TO LOW. LINGERING AREAS OF LIGHT RAIN OR SHOWERS WILL PERSIST INTO
