AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
332 AM CST THU JAN 23 2014

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...ONE MORE CALM AND WARM DAY
BEFORE WINTER RETURNS. ONE COLD FRONT LIES STATIONARY ACROSS
CENTRAL TEXAS AS THE ARCTIC FRONT IS MOVING THROUGH OKLAHOMA. AS A
SHORTWAVE AND JET STREAK...CURRENTLY APPROACHING THE FOUR
CORNERS...ROUNDS THE BOTTOM OF THE BROAD EASTERN TROUGH THE ARCTIC
FRONT TO SURGE SOUTH THROUGH OUR CWA. HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS
ARW/NMM SHOW THE SHARP FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVING A LITTLE SLOWER
ENTERING THE NORTHERN ZONES BETWEEN 3-6 PM AND MOVING SOUTH OF
PORT ISABEL BEFORE 9 PM.

TODAY SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS ALONG WITH PARTLY CLOUDY TO OCCASIONAL
MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES TO ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB TO NEAR NORMAL
NORTH AND ABOVE NORMAL SOUTH. SOME AREAS IN THE RGV COULD APPROACH
80 IF THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH LATE IN THE AFTERNOON OR LATER. NO
RAIN IS ANTICIPATED IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT WITH MUCH OF THE LIFT
DEVELOPING ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT AS THE ISENTROPIC LIFT
INCREASES WITH THE SHALLOW AIRMASS. KEPT RAIN CHANCES LOW UNTIL
AFTER THE FRONT.

TONIGHT AND FRIDAY...WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES AT THIS TIME WILL ONLY
INCLUDE A WIND CHILL ADVISORY FOR ALL AREAS FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO 3
PM FRIDAY. STRONG GRADIENT DEVELOPS BETWEEN THE 1045MB HIGH AND A
DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE TROUGH SOUTHEAST OF THE COAST. 925MB WINDS
OF 25-35 KNOTS TO PARTIALLY TRANSLATE TO THE SURFACE AND WITH
SURFACE TEMPERATURES FALLING 20 TO 30 DEGREES WITHIN A 6 HOUR
PERIOD BEHIND THE FRONT WINDS CHILLS TO REACH CRITERIA AFTER
MIDNIGHT. TEMPERATURE PROFILES SHOWING TEMPERATURES FALLING
THROUGH 18Z THEN REMAINING STEADY THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON. HIGHS
TO OCCUR AT MIDNIGHT FALLING TO MINIMUMS BETWEEN 9 AM AND NOON AS
THE COLDEST AIR ARRIVES. THERE REMAINS A QUANDARY ON IF
TEMPERATURES REACH FREEZING ACROSS THE NORTHERN ZONES AND THIS
WILL PLAY A FACTOR ON THE WINTRY WEATHER PRECIPITATION HAZARDS.
EVERYTHING IS POINTING TOWARDS A MIX OF RAIN AND SLEET ALONG AND
NORTHWEST OF SARITA TO RIO GRANDE CITY LINE. WITH SURFACE
TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING...ALBEIT 1 TO 3
DEGREES...ANY ACCUMULATION IS NOT EXPECTED. WITH THIS MENTION WILL
NOT ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN FOR
THAT MATTER HOWEVER A DROP OF ONLY A FEW DEGREES COULD CHANGE THE
STORY WITH LATER SHIFTS KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON THIS DEVELOPING
WINTER WEATHER SITUATION. FARTHER EAST THERMAL PROFILES ARE LESS
CONDUCIVE FOR SLEET BUT CAN NOT RULE OUT SOME ICE PELLETS FALLING
OVER THE MCALLEN AREA AND MAYBE FAR EAST AS RAYMONDVILLE DURING
THE MORNING COMMUTE.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...HIGH PRESSURE WILL
SETTLE INTO SOUTHERN TEXAS FRIDAY NIGHT AS COASTAL TROUGHING
WEAKENS AND A COASTAL LOW SLOWLY MOVES EASTWARD. PRECIPITATION
FRIDAY NIGHT SHOULD BE CONFINED TO THE COASTAL COUNTIES AND
COASTAL WATERS AND CHANCES SHOULD MAINLY BE EAST OF THE AREA
BEGINNING SATURDAY. AS THE ARCTIC AIRMASS SLIDES EASTWARD HIGHS ON
SATURDAY WILL REBOUND INTO THE 60S AND INTO THE 70S ON SUNDAY AS
SFC WINDS BECOME SOUTHEASTERLY. THE NEXT FRONT IS PROGGED BY THE
ECMWF/GFS TO ARRIVE MONDAY. HIGHS MONDAY WILL FALL INTO THE 60S
WITH 50S A GOOD BET FOR TUESDAY. CLOUDS WILL INCREASE MONDAY NIGHT
WITH OVERRUNNING CONDITIONS RETURNING TUESDAY WITH SLIGHT CHANCE
OF RAIN OVER THE COASTAL WATERS AND COASTAL COUNTIES. OVERRUNNING
AND COASTAL TROUGHING WEAKEN WEDNESDAY WITH A RETURN TO ONSHORE
FLOW WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES WILL ONCE AGAIN MODERATE
WITH HIGHS WEDNESDAY BACK INTO THE 60S.

&&

.MARINE...NOW THROUGH FRIDAY...RELATIVELY CALM TODAY BEFORE
CONDITIONS RAPIDLY DETERIORATE TONIGHT. MODERATE SOUTHEAST WINDS
OVERNIGHT HAVE KICKED UP THE SEAS WHICH SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AS
SOUTH WINDS TO REMAIN AT MODERATE SPEEDS IN ADVANCE OF THE MUCH
ADVERTISED ARCTIC FRONT. EXERCISE CAUTION WORDING MAINLY FOR THE
SEAS WILL BE ADDED FOR TODAY. GALE WARNINGS ARE NOW IN EFFECT
STARTING AT 6 PM THIS EVENING AND LASTING INTO FRIDAY MORNING. THE
LAGUNA MADRE HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE GALE WARNING WITH THE TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT KNOCKING RIGHT ALONG THE COAST. ARCTIC FRONT TO
SURGE THROUGH THE COASTAL WATERS SHORTLY BEFORE 6 PM AND QUICKLY
MOVE SOUTH WITH NORTH WINDS TO RAMP UP RAPIDLY TO GALE FORCE
BEFORE MIDNIGHT. OVERNIGHT THE PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS
EXCEPTIONALLY STRONG AS A COASTAL TROUGH DEVELOPS SOUTH OF THE
COASTAL WATERS AND STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO NORTH TEXAS.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES TO REPLACE THE GALE WARNING FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AS NORTH WINDS BEGIN THEIR SLOW DIMINISHING.

FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...HAZARDOUS MARINE CONDITIONS WILL BE
ONGOING AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS PERIOD WITH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES
LIKELY ONGOING. AS COASTAL TROUGHING WEAKENS AND COASTAL LOW MOVES
EASTWARD CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH
FAVORABLE MARINE CONDITIONS RETURNING SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE TAKES CONTROL. THE NEXT COLD FRONT IS
EXPECTED MONDAY WITH CONDITIONS DETERIORATING LATE MONDAY MORNING.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL BE POSSIBLE BEGINNING MONDAY AFTERNOON
ACROSS THE LOWER TEXAS COASTAL WATERS.
