AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

.DISCUSSION...UPDATED ALL THE PRODUCTS FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WATCH 557. /68-JGG/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 226 PM CST SAT NOV 22 2014/

SHORT TERM /NOW THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...

IMPACTS...POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF DAMAGING
WINDS AND LARGE HAIL...WITH AN ISOLATED TORNADO POSSIBLE.

RELEVANT FEATURES...
UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTER IS OVER CHIHUAHUA STATE MEXICO...ABOUT ON
SCHEDULE WITH ITS PROGRESS SLOWED BY A BROAD SOUTHWESTERLY 70 TO
90 KT JET MAXIMUM OVER SOUTH TEXAS AND NORTHEASTERN MEXICO. A
STRONGER SOUTHEASTERLY JET IS MARCHING ACROSS THE DESERT SOUTHWEST
WITH WIND SPEEDS AROUND 110 TO 120 KTS. THIS WILL REACH THE UPPER
CLOSED LOW OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND TILT THE TROUGH NEGATIVELY
AND RESULT IN A LARGE AMOUNT OF DIFFLUENCE/DIVERGENCE OVER SOUTH
TEXAS AND NORTHERN MEXICO. LEE TROUGHING AND RESPONSE TO THIS
UPPER LEVEL FEATURE IS ALREADY UNDERWAY WITH STRONG SOUTHEAST
WINDS OCCURRING ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION WITH GUSTS PUSHING 30 TO
35 MPH UNDER A THIN LAYER OF OVERCAST GENERATED BY WEAK WARM AIR
ADVECTION. 1800 UTC SPECIAL RELEASE SHOWS A MODEST CAP AROUND
800MB TO SURFACE BASED PARCELS BUT RELATIVELY STRONG MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES AND STRONG LOW LAYER AND DEEP LAYER WIND SHEAR. THE
1200 UTC SOUNDING FROM MONTERREY MEXICO SHOWED A MUCH SHARPER
TERRAIN INDUCED INVERSION AND THE TRAJECTORY OF WINDS OVER
NORTHEASTERN TAMAULIPAS AND THE ABSENCE OF ANY CONVECTION
CURRENTLY SUGGESTS AT LEAST SOME OF THIS ELEVATED MIXED LAYER IS
SPREADING OVER SOUTH TEXAS...WHICH IS COMMON IN SUCH REGIMES.

LATE THIS AFTERNOON/TONIGHT...
THE PRESENCE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED CAP WILL LIKELY KEEP CONVECTION
AT BAY IN THE LATE AFTERNOON WHICH WILL PREVENT STORMS FROM
TAPPING THE FAVORABLE SHEAR PROFILES CURRENTLY PRESENT. HOWEVER
THE ARRIVAL OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL RESULT IN VERY STRONG
LARGE SCALE ASCENT WHICH SHOULD EASILY OVERCOME ANY RESIDUAL
CAPPING. THE ARRIVAL OF THIS EXTRA UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE ALSO
STRENGTHENS 925/850MB WINDS ALONG THE COAST IN NAM/RAP GUIDANCE.

THERE IS GOOD GUIDANCE CONSENSUS ON CONVECTION INITIATING IN A FEW
HOURS OVER THE SIERRA MADRE MOUNTAINS. THIS CONCEPT IS SUPPORTED
BY VISIBLE SATELLITE SHOWING CUMULUS BEGINNING TO BUBBLE IN THE
MOUNTAINS AND PLATEAU AHEAD OF THE UPPER TROUGH. THESE TSTMS ARE
THEN EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTHEAST INTO DEEP SOUTH TEXAS BY AROUND 6
TO 7 PM TONIGHT. SHEAR PROFILES ARE EXPECTED TO BE SUPPORTIVE OF
SUPER CELLS WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY LIKELY UPSCALE INTO A SQUALL
LINE/MCS BEFORE PUSHING INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO.

STORMS THAT DEVELOP EARLY IN THE EVENING WILL HAVE BETTER SURFACE
HEATING TO WORK WITH AND LARGER MIXED LAYER CAPE VALUES. THE NWS
STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS HIGHLIGHTED OUR WESTERN COUNTIES WITH AN
ENHANCED POTENTIAL FOR VERY LARGE HAIL...GREATER THAN TWO INCHES IN
DIAMETER...WHICH SEEMS REASONABLE GIVEN THE LARGER CAPES THAT WILL
BE AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME FRAME AMID FAVORABLE SHEAR PROFILES.

THE LARGE SCALE LIFT IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS IS EXPECTED TO
BE SUFFICIENT HOWEVER TO KEEP AROUND 1000 TO 1500 J/KG OF MLCAPE
AVAILABLE AS THE STORMS/CLUSTERS MOVE EAST AMID STRONG DEEP LAYER
SHEAR. 0-3 KM CAPE VALUES WILL BE AROUND 500 TO 800 J/KG WITH LOW
LCL HEIGHTS. ADDITIONALLY INCREASES IN THE 850/925MB WIND FIELDS
AS THE UPPER LOW STRENGTHENS LOW PRESSURE TO OUR NORTHWEST RESULTS
IN 0-1KM SHEAR VALUES OF 20 TO 25 KTS CREATING ABOUT 150 M2/S2 OF
STORM RELATIVE HELICITY EAST OF THE 281 CORRIDOR THIS EVENING.
THIS WOULD SUPPORT A POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES IN EITHER DISCRETE
SUPER CELLS OR QUASI LINEAR CONVECTIVE STRUCTURES AS THE SYSTEM
MOVES EASTWARD IN ADDITION TO A MORE WIDESPREAD THREAT OF DAMAGING
WINDS. STORM MOTION WILL ALSO LIKELY BE QUICK...AT 40 MPH OR
MORE...ESPECIALLY IN LINEAR STRUCTURES. STORM MOTION SHOULD BE TOO
FAST FOR SIGNIFICANT FLOODING CONCERNS ALTHOUGH DEEP MOISTURE WILL
SUPPORT BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL AND POSSIBLY SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING.

A SURGE OF DEEP DRIER AIR MOVING IN FROM 850-700MB MOVES IN BEHIND
THE FRONT TONIGHT...ENDING RAINFALL/STORM CHANCES.

SUNDAY...MODERATE WESTERLY WINDS KEEP PUSHING IN DRIER AIR THROUGH
THE DAY SUNDAY LEADING TO A MUCH MORE TRANQUIL AND DRY WEATHER
PATTERN. TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE FAIRLY WARM...INTO THE LOW 80S
BUT HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER.

SUNDAY NIGHT...A PUSH OF HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE NORTH WILL ARRIVE
LATE SUNDAY NIGHT BUT LIKELY NOT QUICKLY ENOUGH TO SIGNIFICANTLY
ALTER OVERNIGHT TEMPS. LOWS WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S. /68-JGG/

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...A MILD WEATHER WEEK WILL
PREVAIL DURING THE LONG TERM.

A WARM TO HOT SUNDAY WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 80S WILL
TRANSITION INTO MORE SEASONAL WEATHER MONDAY THROUGH THE WEEK AS
MODIFIED MARITIME POLAR AIR FROM THE EAST PACIFIC ARRIVES FROM THE
WEST. THE PACIFIC AIR WILL ARRIVE IN TWO PULSES...ONE MONDAY AND
ANOTHER TUESDAY...USHERED ACROSS BY MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGHS
DIGGING SOUTHEAST DOWN THE SIDE OF A LARGE SCALE RIDGE WEST OF THE
ROCKIES. THE TWO PULSES WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY DRY SURFACE AIR...
THOUGH A FEW CLOUDS MAY MATERIALIZE NEAR THE COAST MON AND TUE
DURING THE DAY BEFORE DRIER AIR SIMPLY OVERWHELMS THE AREA. HIGH
TEMPS WILL BE IN THE 70S EACH DAY...WITH LOWS IN THE 40S MONDAY
AND TUESDAY NIGHT AND THE 50S WED AND THU NIGHT. NORTH WINDS
THROUGH TUESDAY WILL BECOME LIGHT ON WED AND THEN TRANSITION TO
LIGHT SOUTHEAST BY THURSDAY...WHICH WILL SIGNAL THAT SFC HIGH
PRESSURE IS SHIFTING EAST OF THE AREA WHILE THE UPSTREAM RIDGE
BREAKS DOWN...AND THE BEGINNING OF MOISTURE RETURN AND SLIGHTLY
WARMER TEMPERATURES TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK. OVERALL THROUGH...
A MILD AUTUMN WEEK IS AHEAD WITH LOTS OF SUN...AND NEAR NORMAL
TEMPS EXCEPT FOR A LITTLE COLDER THAN NORMAL TUE AND WED NIGHT.

MARINE...
TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT....SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN
EFFECT FOR ALL OF THE LOWER TEXAS COAST TODAY...AND FOR THE GULF
OF MEXICO WATERS TONIGHT DUE TO STRONG WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS.
IMPROVING CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST THROUGH SUNDAY WITH MORE
MODERATE SEAS AND LIGHT TO MODERATE WESTERLY WINDS. FAVORABLE
CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE ANOTHER SURGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE INCREASES NORTHERLY WINDS EARLY MONDAY MORNING.

MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...MODERATE NORTH WINDS MONDAY WILL REACH
CAUTION LEVELS ON THE GULF BY AFTERNOON...15 TO 20 KNOTS WITH
SEAS BUILDING TOWARD 6 FEET IN THE WAKE OF A PACIFIC COOL FRONT.
REINFORCING HIGH PRESSURE TUESDAY WILL RESULT IN STRONGER GUSTY
NORTH WINDS TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY EVENING...POSSIBLY
REACHING 20 KNOTS AND LOW END SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS WITH
SEAS BUILDING TOWARD 7 FEET IN A FEW SPOTS.

WIND CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY THOUGH
SEAS WILL REMAIN MODERATE. A LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTHEAST WIND WILL
SET UP ON THURSDAY.
