AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
318 AM CST SAT FEB 4 2012

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...THE ARRIVAL TIMING OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT HAS REMAINED CONSISTENT WITH THE INHERITED
FORECAST. MID DAY IS FORECAST IN THE UPPER VALLEY AND LATE AFTERNOON
IS FORECAST FOR THE LOWER VALLEY. THE SHORT TERM FORECAST WILL BE
DOMINATED BY THE ARRIVAL OF THE FRONT AND THE ASSOCIATED WEATHER
THROUGH SUNDAY. HIGH TEMPS TODAY WILL ONLY BE SLIGHTLY AFFECTED DUE
TO THE LATE ARRIVAL OF THE FRONT. UPPER VALLEY TEMPS WILL REACH
NORMAL BEFORE THE BRAKES ARE PUT ON BY THE FRONTS ARRIVAL THIS
AFTERNOON...AND HIGHS IN THE LOWER VALLEY WILL STILL REACH ABOVE
NORMAL. CLOUDS WILL THICKEN WITH THE APPROACH AND ARRIVAL OF THE
FRONT AND OVERCAST SKIES WILL PERSIST THROUGH SUNDAY. RAIN CHANCES
WILL INCREASE DRAMATICALLY THIS AFTN...WITH SHOWERS AND TSTMS
EXPECTED FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THIS EVENING. ATMOSPHERIC
CONDITIONS WILL RIPEN FOR ISOLATED STRONGER STORMS...AND A SLIGHTLY
INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER TO INCLUDE ONE INCH DIAMETER
OR LARGER HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS OF 58 MPH OR MORE.

TEMPS TONIGHT WILL COOL INTO THE 50S...WITH SOME READINGS IN THE
UPPER 40S POSSIBLE IN THE UPPER VALLEY AND ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER
COUNTIES. HIGH TEMPS ON SUNDAY WILL NOT INCREASE MUCH FROM THE OVER
NIGHT LOWS...REMAINING IN THE 50S FOR THE DAY. MODERATE TO BREEZY
NORTH WINDS ARE EXPECTED AFTER THE COLD FRONT. RAIN CHANCES WILL
TAPER OFF LATE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...USHERING IN ANTI-CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE WEATHER WHICH WILL BE GRAY...COOL...AND AT TIMES RAINY..SHORT TERM...

.LONG TERM/SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...BY SUNDAY EVENING THE
SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAS CLEARED AND NORTHEAST WINDS START A
SLOW EASING PROCESS. HOWEVER THE RIGHT EXIT REGION OF A
SUBTROPICAL JET MAX WILL STILL BE LINGERING OVER THE REGION WITH
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS ALOFT CONTINUING TO OVERRUN OVER THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. NAM/GFS FORECAST SOUNDINGS AND ISENTROPIC CHARTS STILL
SHOW THE POTENTIAL FOR CONTINUING LIGHT RAIN...PERHAPS IN THE FORM
OF SHOWERS WITH MEAGER ELEVATED INSTABILITY. AREAS OF FOG LOOK
POSSIBLE MONDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT.

WE LOSE THE LARGE SCALE LIFT...SOUTHWEST WINDS AND ISENTROPIC LIFT
ON TUESDAY SO CONTINUED A RELATIVELY DRY FORECAST...BUT LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE SO AFTERNOON HEATING MAY STILL SPARK A
FEW SHOWERS...MAINLY NEAR THE COAST. THESE SHOWERS MAY BE AIDED BY
LARGE SCALE ASCENT FROM A WEAK SHORTWAVE CROSSING OVER THE PLAINS
WEDNESDAY MORNING AND AFTERNOON AND THE GOING FORECAST MAY BE TOO
DRY FOR NOW...BUT WANTED TO PAINT THE MAXIMUMS AROUND THE MOST SOLID
SYNOPTIC SCALE SIGNALS.

ONE SUCH SIGNAL BEGINS TO HAVE INFLUENCE ON OUR WEATHER TUESDAY
NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. GFS/ECMWF IN IMPROVING AGREEMENT IN THE 00Z
GUIDANCE WITH THE HANDLING OF A STRONG JET MAX DIVING DOWN THE
PACIFIC COAST TUESDAY. BOTH MODELS NOW CLOSE OFF A LOW OVER THE
NORTHERN GULF OF CALIFORNIA...CONTINUE TO PROGRESS THE JET MAX OVER
CENTRAL MEXICO AND BUILD MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGHING ROUGHLY FROM
CENTRAL MEXICO TO THE WESTERN GULF COAST...THIS LEADS TO SURFACE
CYCLOGENESIS OVER THE WESTERN GULF WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING
AND BUILDS A RATHER ROBUST STORM SYSTEM THAT TRACKS EASTWARD AFTER
INCREASING WINDS NOTABLY FROM THE EAST OVER OUR COASTAL WATERS. THIS
PATTERN MAY NEED TO BE WATCHED FOR AT LEAST MINOR COASTAL FLOODING IF
THE LATEST RUNS WERE TO VERIFY AND POSSIBLY GALE CONDITIONS WITH
ROUGH SEAS OVER THE MARINE ZONES. CARRYING RELATIVELY HIGH POPS WITH
THUNDER MENTIONS OVER THE COASTAL ZONES GIVEN CONSIDERABLE SYNOPTIC
FORCING AND AVAILABLE MOISTURE/LIFT. IF THINGS COME TOGETHER AS
PROGGED AND WE GET A LITTLE MORE CONVECTION THAN ANTICIPATED CURRENT
PRECIP AMOUNT FORECASTS...QPF...MAY BE ON THE LOW SIDE.

AS THE AFOREMENTIONED CLOSED LOW OVER NORTHWESTERN MEXICO IS FORCED
INTO AN OPEN WAVE BY A REINFORCING POLAR JET MAX IT MOVES NEAR AND
OVER THE AREA AS AN OPEN WAVE FRIDAY/SATURDAY AND GENERATES A STRONGER
SURFACE CYCLONE OVER THE BAY OF CAMPECHE...CONTINUING HEALTHY POPS
AND WINDS FOR THIS PERIOD AS WELL. FOR TEMPERATURES THIS WEEK
BELIEVE MOS IS TOO RELIANT ON CLIMATOLOGY AND NARROWED OUR DIURNAL
CURVE WITH A GENERALLY WET...CLOUDY PATTERN EXPECTED WITH AMPLE COLD
AIR ADVECTION AND RELATIVELY LOW THICKNESSES. BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES LOOK TO BE THE TREND FOR THE WEEK. /68/

&&

.MARINE...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY...BUOY 020 INDICATES MODERATE
SOUTHEAST WINDS...AND SEAS OF 3.9 FEET EARLY THIS MORNING. A COLD
FRONT IS ENROUTE AND WILL ARRIVE ACROSS THE MARINE AREAS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON TO EARLY THIS EVENING. THE FRONT WILL BRING A PERIOD OF
DETERIORATING MARINE CONDITIONS. NORTH WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL
INCREASE TO STRONG TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. LOOK FOR SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY POSTINGS LATER TODAY. BESIDES STRONG NORTH WINDS IN
THE 25 KNOT RANGE...WIND GUSTS TO NEAR GALE FORCE WILL DEVELOP ON
SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN WITH A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT
ACROSS THE NORTH WEST GULF. A FEW GALE FORCE GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE
SUNDAY AFTERNOON BUT THE DURATION IS STILL A BIT UNCERTAIN AND MAY
NOT BE LENGTHY ENOUGH FOR A GALE WARNING. SEAS WILL ALSO BUILD
