Area forecast discussion, Mar 31, 8:44 PM CDT, 23 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
844 PM CDT SUN MAR 31 2013

.DISCUSSION...ISOLATED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO
MOVE SOUTHEAST ALONG THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AT THIS TIME.
THIS THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY IMPACT PORTION OF BROOKS
AND KENEDY COUNTIES AS THEY MOVE SOUTH/SOUTHEAST. MAKE
CHANGES TO THE POPS EXPECTED BUT EVERYTHING ELSE STAYED
THE SAME. PLEASE RELATE TO THE LATEST SEVERE WEATHER
STATEMENT FOR MORE INFORMATION.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 647 PM CDT SUN MAR 31 2013/

DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR LATEST AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

AVIATION...BREEZE CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY
EVENING DIMINISHING TONIGHT WITH CLOUD COVER INCREASING ACROSS
SOUTH TEXAS. EXPECT MVFR CEILINGS TO BEGIN DEVELOPING AROUND
MIDNIGHT WITH POSSIBLE IFR CLOSE TO SUNRISE MONDAY. CONDITIONS
WILL IMPROVE AROUND 15Z WITH BREEZE SOUTHEAST WINDS IN THE
AFTERNOON. MOISTURE STREAMING ACROSS MEXICO INTO SOUTH TEXAS WILL
INCREMENT TOMORROW INCREASING THE HIGH CLOUDS ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 215 PM CDT SUN MAR 31 2013/

SHORT TERM.../NOW THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...WEAK MID LEVEL RIDGING
OVER NEW MEXICO WILL BECOME ZONAL ON MONDAY AS 500 MB LOW MOVES
ACROSS THE SIERRA NEVADA MOUNTAIN RANGE. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER
THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO WILL MAINTAIN THE ONSHORE FLOW ACROSS
DEEP SOUTH TEXAS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG A
COLD FRONT ACROSS CENTRAL TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON. SPC HAS PLACED A
GENERAL TO SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS JUST NORTH OF THE
AREA. THIS CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE OR MOVE EAST BEFORE
REACHING THE BRO CWA. MODERATE TO BREEZY SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL
DIMINISH THIS THIS EVENING. LOW CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE
TONIGHT AND WITH AREAS OF FOG DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT. LOW
TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S. MOSTLY CLOUDY MONDAY
MORNING WITH SKIES BECOMING PARTLY CLOUDY BY AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL
BE SLIGHTLY WEAKER WINDS THAN TODAY WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES BACK
INTO THE UPPER 80S AND LOWER 90S AGAIN. OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL
BE JUST A DEGREE OR TWO COOLER.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY  THROUGH SUNDAY/...AS WE HEAD INTO THE LONG
TERM MAIN FEATURE OF INTEREST WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE UPPER
LOW/TROUGH SPINNING OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST. MEAN MID TO UPPER
FLOW OVER NORTH AMERICA IS TRANSITIONING INTO A SLOW BUT
PROGRESSIVE SPLIT FLOW PATTERN. THE UPPER TROUGH TO TRACK SOUTH
OF A LARGE SCALE RIDGE OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND SOUTHWEST
CANADA SLOWLY WORKING ITS WAY INTO THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES TUESDAY
THEN SLOWING DOWN FURTHER AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
WEDNESDAY AND HEADS INTO GULF SOUTH THURSDAY. AS FOR THE MUCH
ADVERTISED FRONT THE SLOWER THE EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE UPPER
LOW THE SLOWER THE FRONT MOVES SOUTH. GFS AND ECMWF MODELS STILL
INDICATE A LATE WEDNESDAY OR WEDNESDAY EVENING PASSAGE SOUTH OF
BROWNSVILLE WITH THE NAM STILL MUCH FASTER. GENERAL TREND OF THE
PREVIOUS FORECAST TO REMAIN UNCHANGED THIS PACKAGE.

AFFECTS ON OUR CWA FROM THIS SYSTEM COULD COME AS EARLY AS TUESDAY
AFTERNOON WITH A MORE ROBUST SOUTHERN JET COMING INTO PLAY. WITH
DISTURBANCES WITHIN THE SOUTHERN JET TRACKING ACROSS NORTHERN MEXICO
AND SOUTH TEXAS ATMOSPHERE BECOMES INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE WITH
MOISTURE ADVECTION INCREASING AS WELL. PWAT VALUES ARE BECOMING MORE
SUMMER LIKE AND AS A SERIES OF JET MAXES ROTATE THROUGH THE REGION
IN ADVANCE OF THE MAIN TROUGH THUNDERSTORM CHANCES INCREASE. TIMING
AND EXACT PLACEMENT OF BEST POPS IS STILL UNCERTAIN SO WILL CONTINUE
WITH PREVIOUS FORECASTERS POP PLACEMENT AT THIS TIME. THE NORTHERN
ZONES ARE HIGHLIGHTED FOR TUESDAY THEN AS THE UPPER TROUGH AND
SURFACE FRONT BEARS DOWN ON THE CWA RAIN CHANCES INCREASE ALL
AREAS WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS BETTER OVERALL ASCENT TAKES
PLACE. AS FOR RAINFALL AMOUNTS HPC QFP 5 DAY TOTALS...WHICH MOST
LIKELY WILL FALL LATER TUESDAY THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY...CONTINUE
TO RANGE FROM 0.25 TO .75 INCHES. NO REASON TO DEVIATE MUCH FROM
THIS WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE EVEN SOME ISOLATED
HIGHER AMOUNTS. AT THIS POINT IN OUR PROLONG DROUGHT WE WILL TAKE
ANYTHING WE CAN GET.

TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN WARM TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH NO SUBSTANTIAL
COOLING UNTIL THE FRONT PASSES. COOLEST DAY CONTINUES TO LEAN
TOWARDS THURSDAY BUT AS THE UPPER TROUGH EXITS TO THE EAST DRIER
AIR AND A QUICKLY MODIFYING AIRMASS MAY ALLOW FOR TEMPERATURES TO
REMAIN CLOSER TO WARMER GUIDANCE VALUES.

A RETURN TO MORE BENIGN WEATHER BY FRIDAY AND NEXT WEEKEND AS AN
UPPER RIDGE REPLACES THE TROUGH AND SOUTHEAST WINDS RETURN.
TEMPERATURES TO WARM AND MOISTURE TO GRADUAL INCREASE AS WE HEAD
WELL INTO APRIL.

MARINE...NOW THROUGH MONDAY...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN
GULF OF MEXICO WILL MOVE EAST WHILE A WEAK FRONT WILL APPROACH
THE NORTHWEST GULF TONIGHT. CURRENT TCOON OBSERVATIONS ALONG THE
LAGUNA MADRE INDICATE WINDS OF 15 TO 20 KNOTS DUE TO THE INCREASE
IN THE LOCAL PRESSURE GRADIENT. WILL MAINTAIN EXERCISE CAUTION
CONDITIONS ON THE LAGUNA MADRE THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING
THEN...WINDS WILL DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET THIS EVENING. BUOY 42020
REPORTS SOUTHEAST WINDS 10 TO 15 KNOTS WITH SEAS AROUND 3 FEET
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. MODERATE SOUTHEAST WINDS AND LOW TO MODERATE
SEAS TONIGHT AND MONDAY.

AFTERNOON AND INTO WEDNESDAY EVENING. NORTH WINDS TO GRADUALLY
INCREASE THROUGH THURSDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTH. SMALL
