AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
401 AM CST MON JAN 9 2012
.DISCUSSION...
POTENT UPPER LOW NEAR EL PASO WILL CONTINUE SLOWLY PUSHING EWD
TODAY. LARGE SCALE LIFT WILL INCREASE THRU THE DAY AS WILL
SHRA/TSTM COVERAGE WITH FAVORABLE DIFFLUENCE AND MOISTURE IN
PLACE. LOOKS LIKE THE DIFFUSE FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAS MOVED INT0
EXTREME NRN ZONES OVERNIGHT AND WE'VE BEEN SEEING A HANDFULL OF
STORMS WITH WEAK ROTATION OVERNIGHT. THINK THIS WILL PROBABLY BE
THE CASE INTO EARLY AFTN WITH JUST ENOUGH INSTABILITY/HELICITY IN
PLACE. THOUGH CHANCES ARE LOW...CANNOT TOTALLY ELIMINATE CHANCES
OF ISOLATED TORNDOES IN ANY OF THESE STRONGER CELLS. STILL MORE
CONCERNED WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN. SOME HCOEM
GAGES IN SRN HARRIS COUNTY HAVE RECEIVED 2-3.5" OF RAIN WITH JUST
THE CLUSTER OF STORMS THAT PUSHED THROUGH THERE A FEW HOURS AGO.
LOCALIZED QPF AMOUNTS WILL BE NUDGED UP TO 5". SFC LOW/WAVE IS
FCST TO DEVELOP IN S TX AND MOVE UP INTO SE TX LATER THIS AFTN AND
NE OF THE REGION TONIGHT - LIKELY ENHANCING TRAINING PRECIP ALONG
THE WAVE/FRONTAL BOUNDARY INTERSECTIONS. (WORTH NOTING HOWEVER IS
THE 3KM WRF SHOWING SWD PROGRESS OF THE FRONT THRU THE DAY - AND
WITH NOT BEING AS CONCERNED W/ SFC LOW - ENDING PRECIP LATE IN THE
AFTN). FOR NOW WILL GO WITH THE SLOWER MAJORITY WHICH ENDS PRECIP
FROM SW TO NE DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT.
WRAP AROUND CLOUDS SHOULD PERSIST INTO TUESDAY...AND DRY MILD WX
ON WED AS THE SYSTEM PUSHES AWAY FROM TX. FAIRLY STRONG COLD FRONT
SHOULD PUSH THROUGH WED NIGHT BRINGING A CANADIAN AIRMASS INTO THE
AREA. NOT EXPECTING ANY PRECIP WITH THIS FRONT WHICH SHOULD BE
MOISTURE STARVED. MANY INLAND LOCATIONS WILL LIKELY SEE A LIGHT
FREEZE THURS AND FRI NIGHTS. 47
&&
.MARINE...
TRICKY FCST GIVEN THE INTERACTION OF THE STREAMER STORMS COMING OFF
THE GULF AND THE SEA FOG TRYING TO STAY IN PLACE. ADDED TO THIS ARE
THE LARGER SCALE WX SYSTEMS APPROACHING FROM THE WEST/NORTH. SO ALL
THIS BEING SAID...THIS SEEMS TO BE COVERED BY THE CURRENT FCSTS. WE
SHOULD SEE STRONG OFFSHORE WINDS DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT/EARLY TUES AS
THE UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS FROM THE WEST. CAUTION OR
ADVISORY FLAGS A GOOD POSSIBILITY TUES/TUES NIGHT. A BIT OF A BREAK
BY WEDS BUT THE PASSAGE OF A STRONG COLD FRONT WEDS NIGHT MAY BRING
WIND SPEEDS BACK UP TO ADVISORY LEVELS ONCE AGAIN. WINDS SHOULD DE-
CREASE THURS NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE AREA. 41
&&
.AVIATION...
MESSY FCST AS STRONG WAA COMBINED WITH S/WV ENERGY VIA THE WSW FLOW
HELPS TO GENERATE SOME TSRA THIS MORNING. ALL OF THIS IS AHEAD OF A
MORE QUIET/FOGGY PATTERN THAT WAS IN PLACE BEFORE. QUESTIONS ABOUND
WITH THE UPCOMING 12Z TAF PACKAGE AS MODELS OFFERING UP A COUPLE OF
DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS FOR TODAY. ATTM GOING TO KEEP WITH MOSTLY MVFR/
OCCASIONALLY IFR CIGS TODAY ALONG WITH THE MENTION OF TS THROUGHOUT
THE FCST PERIOD. NO CLEARING/IMPROVEMENT UNTIL TUES AFTN AS PER THE
GOING TRENDS. 41

CHANCES OF SEVERE WEATHER ARE FAIRLY LOW AS INSTABILITY WILL BE LIMITED. HOWEVER...WHAT LIMITED INSTABILITY THERE IS AND WIND FIELDS IN PLACE MAY SUPPORT SMALL HAIL AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. THIS THREAT WILL PROBABLY BE HIGHEST DURING THE MORNING HOURS.
