AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
706 AM CDT THU JUL 12 2012

.DISCUSSION...
SEE AVIATION SECTION FOR 12Z TAF DISCUSSION.

&&

.AVIATION...
A SLOW MOVING LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS MOVING IN TO
THE WESTERN HOUSTON METRO AREA. IAH COULD SEE 2 TO 3 HOURS OF
MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS FOR LOW CIGS AND VSBY. THIS LINE IS COLLIDING WITH
A SMALL CLUSTER OF FAST MOVING THUNDERSTORMS MOVING INLAND FROM
THE COAST NEAR MATAGORDA BAY. THIS SECOND CLUSTER WILL IMPACT SGR
AND HOU AND PRODUCE 1 TO 2 HOURS OF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS FOR THE
TWO SOUTHERN AIRPORTS. THE BIGGEST AVIATION IMPACT WILL BE TO
TERMINALS IN THE HOUSTON METRO AREA.

UTS...LBX...AND GLS WILL BE PREVAILING VFR WITH BRIEF PERIODS OF
MVFR CONDITIONS AS STRONGER SHOWERS PASS OVER THE TERMINALS.

CLL WILL LIKELY REMAIN VFR FOR REMAINDER OF THE DAY AS THE
PRECIPITATION APPEARS TO BE CONCENTRATED TO THE EAST OF THE
TERMINAL.

MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD MOVE TO THE EAST OF THE HOUSTON
METRO AREA BY EARLY AFTERNOOON. 44

UPDATE...
ADDED MARINE AND AVIATION DISCUSSION.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 400 AM CDT THU JUL 12 2012/

.LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE THIS MORNING...

DISCUSSION...
1SHORT TERM MODELS ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT WITH REGARD TO THE
NEXT HEAVY RAIN EVENT DEVELOPING OVER SOUTHEAST TEXAS. A NEARLY
STATIONARY LINE OF SHRA/TSRA HAS DEVELOPED FROM COLUMBUS TO CONROE
TO LIVINGSTON. RAINFALL RATES WITHIN THIS LINE ARE BETWEEN 1 TO 2
INCHES PER HOUR. 00Z ANALYSIS SHOWS UPPER FLOW REMAINS STRONGLY
DIVERGENT. AT 850 MB...A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WAS OVER
SOUTHEAST TEXAS WITH A WEAK 850-700 MB TROUGH STRETCHED ALONG THE
US HWY 59 CORRIDOR. MOISTURE IS POOLING ALONG AND NORTH OF THIS
FEATURE. WILL MAINTAIN THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH 21Z BUT
SEVERAL OF THE SHORT TERM MODELS (WHICH ARE VERIFYING WELL) SHUNT
THE PRECIP EAST OF THE REGION BY 19-20Z. CURRENTLY...AM EXPECTING
1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS APPROACHING 5
INCHES IF TRAINING DEVELOPS (AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS IN
MONTGOMERY AND SAN JACINTO COUNTIES). WITH ALL THE HEAVY RAIN OVER
THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS...IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH RAIN TO CAUSE
FLOODING.

THE UPPER LEVEL WEAKNESS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RECENT RAINS WILL
LINGER OVER THE UPPER TEXAS COAST THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. FEEL
DAYTIME HEATING WILL TRIGGER SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA EACH DAY. ECMWF
DRIES THINGS OUT A BIT WHILE THE GFS IS WETTER. UPPER LEVEL
RIDGING WILL TRY TO REASSERT ITSELF BY NEXT WEDNESDAY BUT IT
APPEARS THE RIDGE WILL BE FAR ENOUGH NORTH TO ALLOW WEAK
DISTURBANCES TO UNDERCUT THE RIDGE AND KEEP RAIN CHANCES IN THE
FORECAST THROUGH ALL OF NEXT WEEK. AS FOR TEMPS...BLENDED MET AND
MAV GUIDANCE THROUGH FRIDAY AND BLENDED MEX ECMWF GUIDANCE FOR THE
EXTENDED. 43

&&

MARINE...
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO CURRENT FCST TRENDS. A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH
WILL KEEP A LIGHT WIND REGIME IN PLACE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. AN UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH INTERACTING WITH THE SURFACE TROUGH WILL ALSO KEEP
SCATTERED STORMS IN THE FCST THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.

BRIEF GUSTY WINDS AND ELEVATED SEAS ARE POSSIBLE IN AND NEAR ANY
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. 44
