AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
552 AM CST WED NOV 12 2014

.DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR LATEST AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.
&&

.AVIATION...LOCAL DOPPLER RADAR IS SHOWING SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION
OVER THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS...WITH MORE ISOLATED ACTIVITY
INLAND BUT REMOVED FROM THE LOCAL AERODROMES. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS
INDICATE THAT MVFR CONDITIONS ARE PREVAILING RIGHT NOW. DEGRADED
AVIATION CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AROUND MID-MORNING AND
PERSIST THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS WIDESPREAD LIGHT RAIN AND
DRIZZLE DEVELOPS WHILE CEILINGS LOWER.
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 358 AM CST WED NOV 12 2014/

SHORT TERM /NOW THROUGH THURSDAY/...THE MUCH-HYPED COLD FRONT
ONLY RECENTLY CLEARED THE EXTREME SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE ADJACENT
GULF OF MEXICO WATERS. NUMEROUS SHOWERS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP IN THE
NEAR VICINITY OF THE FRONT...WITH MORE ISOLATED ACTIVITY
STRETCHING FARTHER NORTH ALONG THE TEXAS COASTLINE. THE INLAND
AREAS OF THE BRO CWFA APPEAR LARGELY DRY.

TODAY...WITH MOST AVAILABLE MOISTURE CLOSER TO THE LOWER TEXAS COAST
..CRAFTED PRECIPITATION CHANCES TO INDICATE MOST LIKELY RAINFALL TO
BE MAINLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE HIGHWAY 281/INTERSTATE 69C CORRIDOR
..WITH MORE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED ACTIVITY WEST OF THIS BOUNDARY.
FORECAST THINKING FOR RAINFALL TODAY MATCHES UP NICELY WITH WFO CRP
TO THE NORTH. TEMPERATURES WERE RELATIVELY EASY. TOOK EXPECTED LOWS
FOR AROUND SUNRISE THIS MORNING AND SIMPLY BUMPED THEM UP ACROSS THE
ENTIRE BRO CWFA A COUPLE OF DEGREES...AS THICK CLOUD COVER AND COLD
AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT WILL KEEP THE TEMPERATURE REGIME
NEARLY ISOTHERMAL.

TONIGHT...NO SIGNIFICANT SYNOPTIC PATTERN CHANGE...SO THEREFORE RAIN
CHANCES WILL BE VERY SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS DAYLIGHT HOURS...WITH
THE MOST LIKELY PRECIPITATION CLOSEST TO THE COAST. CONTINUED COLD
AIR ADVECTION WILL PLUNGE TEMPERATURES TO WELL BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR...BUT NO FREEZING TEMPERATURES EXPECTED.

THURSDAY...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO DEEP SOUTH TEXAS...
AND THE PASSAGE OF A WEAK 500 MB TROUGH OVERHEAD...WILL LARGELY END
THE RISK OF RAINFALL OVER MOST OF THE BRO CWFA. BEST RAIN CHANCES
REMAIN CLOSE TO THE COAST AND OVER THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS...
BASICALLY EAST OF THE HIGHWAY 77/INTERSTATE 69E CORRIDOR. VERY
SIMILAR TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST FOR THIS DAY...WITH THE DANGER
BEING THAT IF SKIES CLEAR QUICKER THAN THE AFTERNOON CLEARING
CURRENTLY EXPECTED...TEMPERATURES COULD BE WARMER BY A HANDFUL OF
DEGREES. THIS WILL BE THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN TO WATCH FOR THIS
DAY.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...BRRRR! TEMPERATURES
THURSDAY NIGHT ARE LIKELY TO BE THE COLDEST SEEN IN THE VALLEY
SINCE THE OPENING DAYS OF MARCH. MODELS CONTINUE TO PULL LOW
TEMPERATURES FURTHER DOWNWARD...WITH AREAS OF THE BRUSH COUNTRY
FALLING INTO THE MID 30S. HAVE SOME CONCERN STILL WITH LINGERING
CLOUD COVER HOLDING TEMPS UP A FEW MORE DEGREES...BUT LATEST MODEL
RUNS SHOW THE COASTAL TROUGH WEAKENING LATER THURSDAY...WITH
MINIMAL ISENTROPIC LIFT REMAINING. ALL MODELS ADVERTISING ANOTHER
WEAK SHORTWAVE RACING THROUGH NORTH AND CENTRAL TEXAS IN THE ZONAL
FLOW SATURDAY MORNING. THIS WILL BUCKLE MIDLEVEL WINDS ENOUGH TO
RESHARPEN THE COASTAL TROUGH AND INCREASE THE ISENTROPIC
LIFTING...MAINLY ALONG THE COASTAL COUNTIES. THE COASTAL TROUGH
WILL WRAP UP AND RACE NORTHEAST ON SUNDAY. THE MAIN MODEL ISSUE IS
WHERE THIS LOW WRAPS UP. MODELS ARE SIMILAR IN THE NEXT COLD FRONT
WRAPPING SOUTHWARD BEHIND THE DEPARTING COASTAL LOW...BUT
DIFFERING STARTING LOCATIONS BRING DIFFERENT FINAL ARRIVAL TIMES
FOR THE FRONT INTO DEEP SOUTH TEXAS. TIMING IS GENERALLY LATE
SUNDAY FROM LATE AFTERNOON TO NEAR MIDNIGHT. ENOUGH MOISTURE WILL
HAVE BEEN WRAPPED INTO THE REGION BY THE COASTAL LOW THAT RAIN
CHANCES LOOKING BETTER FOR THE PASSAGE AND POST FRONT SUNDAY
NIGHT/MONDAY. HAVE KEPT A SPLIT BETWEEN THE TWO...LEANING A
LITTLE MORE TOWARD THE FASTER SOLUTION...WITH A FULL DAY OF
HEATING ALONG THE RIVER AND LIMITED DAYTIME HEATING FURTHER NORTH.
TEMPS SUNDAY WILL BE AROUND 70...BEFORE PLUNGING GOOD 15 TO 20
DEGREES AGAIN BY MONDAY MORNING...WITH CONTINUING LIGHT RAIN/DZ.

MARINE...NOW THROUGH THURSDAY...BUOY 42020 REPORTED NORTH WINDS
AROUND 21 KNOTS GUSTING TO AROUND 25 KNOTS WITH SEAS SLIGHTLY OVER 8
FEET WITH A PERIOD OF 7 SECONDS AT 03 CST/09 UTC. STRONG WINDS AND
ROUGH SEAS ARE LIKELY THROUGH THE ENTIRE SHORT TERM FORECAST PERIOD
WITH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES LIKELY TO BE NEEDED. A BRIEF PERIOD OF
GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE TONIGHT AROUND MIDNIGHT UNTIL
AROUND SUNRISE THURSDAY MORNING FOR THE GULF OF MEXICO WATERS EAST
OF PADRE ISLAND OUT TO AT LEAST 60 NAUTICAL MILES...AND THEREFORE A
GALE WATCH HAS BEEN POSTED FOR THAT AREA.

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY
BE ONGOING...AND ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO EARLY FRIDAY
AFTERNOON BEFORE WINDS FINALLY DECREASE BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS.
WINDS OFFSHORE SWITCH BACK TO THE SOUTHEAST BY SATURDAY
MORNING...REMAINING AROUND 15 KNOTS INTO THE DAY SUNDAY. THE NEXT
FRONT WILL RACE THRU LATE SUNDAY...WITH ANOTHER NORTHERLY SQUALL
