AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
1136 PM CST SUN JAN 26 2014

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

&&

.AVIATION...IMPROVED THE OUTLOOK THROUGH THE NEXT 6 TO 8 HOURS IN
THE 06Z TAF PACKAGE. VWP SHOWS DRIER AIR WORKING IN AT 3000 TO
5000 FT WITH WINDS STAYING UP HIGH ENOUGH TO LIKELY GIVE US A FEW
MORE HOURS OF VFR CONDITIONS. WITH GOOD LOW LAYER MOISTURE AT
LEAST SOME FOG AND OBSTRUCTING CIG/FOG IS POSSIBLE THROUGH DAYBREAK
BUT CURRENTLY FORECAST TO REMAIN MVFR. A QUICK IMPROVEMENT BY 9 TO
10 AM CLEARING ANY RESIDUAL RESTRICTIONS IS ANTICIPATED. WINDS
WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST AROUND NOON WITH A SECONDARY SURGE OF
NORTHERLY WINDS LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY IN THE EVENING.
EXPECTING A VFR AFTERNOON GIVING WAY TO MVFR CIG WITH DRIZZLE AND
SPOTTY RAIN SHOWERS TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY CLOSER TO THE COAST. /68-JGG/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 651 PM CST SUN JAN 26 2014/

DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR LATEST AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FOR THE UPCOMING EVENING
AS A FAIRLY DRY AIRMASS PREVAILS OVER THE REGION. HOWEVER THE
TEMPERATURE AND DEWPOINT SPREAD LATER TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY MONDAY
MORNING WILL NARROW QUICKLY. THIS IN COMBINATION WITH CLEAR SKIES
AND LOWERING SURFACE WINDS WILL ALLOW LOW CEILINGS AND FOG TO FORM
LATE CONTINUING THROUGH SUNRISE MONDAY. THE DAYTIME HEATING AND
INCREASING SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL ALLOW THE LOW CEILINGS AND
VSBYS TO IMPROVE DURING THE MID TO LATE MORNING HOURS. THE COLD
FRONT WILL THEN MOVE THROUGH THE LOWER RGV RESULTING IN A PUSH OF
COLDER AND DRIER AIR IN FROM THE NORTH. VFR CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL DURING THE FRONT AND BACK END OF THE CURRENT TAF PERIOD.
IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE DURING THE MID PORTIONS OF THE
TAFS FOR ALL THREE OF THE VALLEY AIRPORTS.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 152 PM CST SUN JAN 26 2014/

SHORT TERM.../NOW THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...ABUNDANT SUNSHINE AND
BREEZY SOUTH WINDS HAVE ALLOWED TEMPERATURES TO WARM INTO THE LOW TO
MID 70S THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REACH THE MID
TO UPPER 70S LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS WARM AIR ADVECTION CONTINUES.
PRESSURE FALLS ACROSS NORTHERN TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON HAS RESULTED IN
BREEZY CONDITIONS ALONG AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 77 DUE TO TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT. A STRONG ARCTIC COLD FRONT WAS LOCATED ACROSS SOUTH DAKOTA
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH AROUND SUNSET BUT
NOT EXPECTED TO FULLY DECOUPLE THIS EVENING. VISIBLE SATELLITE SHOWS
STRATUS ACROSS THE LOWER TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON. THE LATEST NAM/SREF
INDICATES THAT THESE LOW CLOUDS WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE
AREA...ESPECIALLY ACROSS ALONG AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 281 THIS EVENING
AND OVERNIGHT. FOG WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN ACROSS THE REGION LATE
TONIGHT GENERALLY ACROSS THE MIDDLE AND UPPER VALLEY AND NORTHERN
RANCHLANDS DUE TO LESS CLOUD COVER. LOCALLY DENSE FOG WILL BE
POSSIBLE BUT WILL NOT MENTION AS THIS TIME DUE TO LOW CONFIDENCE DUE
TO LOW CLOUDS AND WINDS NOT FULLY DECOUPLING.

BIG CHANGES ON THE WAY FOR MONDAY AS THE STRONG ARCTIC COLD FRONT
CURRENTLY ACROSS THE NORTH PLAINS RACES SOUTH ACROSS NORTH TEXAS
LATE TONIGHT AND APPROACHES DEEP SOUTH TEXAS AROUND SUNRISE. THE
STRONG COLD FRONT SHOULD MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN RANCHLANDS
BETWEEN 12-15Z AND ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY BETWEEN 15-18Z
MONDAY.  TEMPERATURES WILL FALL QUICKLY IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT AND
HIGH TEMPERATURES ON MONDAY WILL LIKELY OCCUR IN THE MORNING.
TEMPERATURES WILL FALL THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON HOURS DUE TO THE
COLD AIR ADVECTION. BREEZY NORTHEAST WINDS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY EVENING...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST. SLIGHT
RAIN CHANCES CONTINUE OVER THE COASTAL WATERS AND POSSIBLY ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE LOWER VALLEY IN THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS.
HOWEVER...MOST OF THE AREA SHOULD REMAIN DRY THROUGH MONDAY
AFTERNOON.

MOST OF THE COLDER AIR WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE AREA AS THE AREA
COLDER AIR WILL BE ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF COAST. RAIN CHANCES
INCREASE LATE MONDAY NIGHT DUE TO COASTAL TROUGHING. LOW
TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 30S ACROSS THE NORTHERN
RANCHLANDS TO THE LOWER 50S NEAR THE COAST. OTHERWISE...CLOUDY SKIES
AND BREEZING NORTHEAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT.

LONG TERM.../TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...ALL OF THE FORECAST
CHALLENGES ARE EARLY ON IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST...NAMELY TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY. IN THE WAKE OF THE ARCTIC COLD FRONT THAT ARRIVES
MONDAY...OVERRUNNING CONDITIONS ALONG WITH AN UPPER LEVEL LOW
OVER MEXICO WILL COMBINE AND PROVIDE A DECENT CHANCE FOR DRIZZLE
AND A COLD LIGHT RAIN TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE BIG
CHALLENGE IS GETTING A FEEL FOR JUST HOW COLD THE AIRMASS WILL BE
WHEN IT INVADES THE RGV AND DEEP SOUTH TEXAS AND HOW THAT MIGHT
AFFECT THE TYPE OF PRECIPITATION. MODELS OFTEN HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME
WITH SHALLOW ARCTIC FRONTS. WITH THAT SAID...AND SIMILAR TO LAST
WEEK...THERE COULD BE SOME INSIGNIFICANT WINTRY TYPE PRECIP THAT
FALLS ACROSS THE NORTHERN RANCHLANDS TUESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY WED
ALONG WITH A POSSIBLE LIGHT FREEZE. MOST LIKELY ANY WINTRY PRECIP
WILL FALL IN THE FORM OF LIGHT FREEZING RAIN/DRIZZLE OR ICE
PELLETS. IF THIS DOES MATERIALIZE...NO MEASURABLE ACCUMULATIONS OF
ICE IS EXPECTED. BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS ARE ALSO ANTICIPATED
MOST OF THE DAY TUESDAY AS GUSTY NORTH WINDS PREVAIL BEHIND THE
FRONT. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH TUESDAY NIGHT. CONFIDENCE IS
HIGH THAT ALL PRECIPITATION WILL BE LIGHT WITH A COUPLE OF TENTHS
POSSIBLE ALONG COASTAL LOCATIONS...AND MOST AREAS RECEIVING LESS
THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH. CONFIDENCE IS MODERATELY HIGH THAT
FREEZING TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN NORTH OF RGV METRO AREAS.

THE UPPER LEVEL LOW IS EXPECTED TO MERGE WITH THE MAIN UPPER
TROUGH AND MOVE ACROSS THE AREA AROUND NOON WEDNESDAY. ONCE THIS
OCCURS...RAPID DRYING IS EXPECTED WITH SOME SUNSHINE EXPECTED
DURING THE AFTERNOON. AFTER ANOTHER CHILLY NIGHT WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...A QUICK WARM UP IS EXPECTED THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND
AS MID LEVEL RIDGING IS REPLACED WITH STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

TEMPS WILL BE VERY TRICKY DURING THE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY PERIOD.
MOST CONCERNED IS THAT DAYTIME HIGHS MAY BE TOO WARM ACCORDING TO
MODELS AS THE SHALLOW ARCTIC AIR MAY BE UNDERREPRESENTED. WITH
THAT IN MIND...TRENDED TOWARDS THE COLDER GUIDANCE. THE GOOD NEWS
IS TEMPS WILL REBOUND INTO THE 70S AND 80S BY NEXT WEEKEND.

MARINE...NOW THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...BUOY 42020 REPORTED SOUTHERLY WINDS
AROUND 14 KNOTS AND SEAS AROUND 2.3 FEET EARLY THIS MORNING.
SOUTH WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE TO MODERATE LEVELS THROUGH THE
REST OF THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THIS EVENING AS LOWER PRESSURE ACROSS
NORTHERN TEXAS INTERACTS WITH HIGHER PRESSURE OVER THE GULF. A BRIEF
PERIOD OF SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WINDS IS NOT OUT THE QUESTION FOR
THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT. A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVE ACROSS THE LOWER
TEXAS COASTAL WATERS ON MONDAY. WINDS WILL SWITCH TO THE NORTHEAST
AND BECOMING STRONG BY LATE MONDAY MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE INITIATED BEGINNING BY
MONDAY AFTERNOON. SEAS WILL ALSO BUILD IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT ON
MONDAY. HAZARDOUS MARINE CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE REST
OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. ALSO...SOME GUSTS TO GALE FORCE POSSIBLE
LATE MONDAY NIGHT.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...VERY UNFAVORABLE MARINE CONDITIONS ARE
ANTICIPATED TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. WINDS MAY MEET GALE CRITERIA
EARLY TUESDAY WITH VERY LITTLE IMPROVEMENT UNTIL LATE TUESDAY
NIGHT. SEAS WILL INCREASE TO 9 TO 11 FEET BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND
CONTINUE INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY. IT WILL ALSO BE WET WITH DRIZZLE
AND LIGHT RAIN EXPECTED TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. MUCH DRIER
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY AS WINDS AND
SEAS SEE SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT ON THURSDAY AS WELL.

...ARCTIC COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH DEEP SOUTH TEXAS MONDAY...
...A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NORTHERN
RANCHLANDS...

ANOTHER ARCTIC FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH DEEP SOUTH TEXAS ON MONDAY.
WARM DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE 70S MONDAY AFTERNOON WILL FALL INTO THE
40S BY EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. AS THE COLD AIRMASS SPREADS OVER THE
REGION THE TEMPERATURES WILL HOLD STEADY IN THE 40S THROUGHOUT THE
DAY TUESDAY. LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING
WILL FALL FURTHER RANGING FROM THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S ACROSS
ZAPATA...JIM HOGG...BROOKS AND KENEDY COUNTIES TO THE MID 30S
ACROSS STARR...HIDALGO...WILLACY AND CAMERON COUNTIES.

THE COMBINATION OF THE FALLING TEMPERATURES AND THE GUSTY NORTH
WINDS WILL PRODUCE WIND CHILL VALUES IN THE 30S ACROSS MUCH OF
DEEP SOUTH TEXAS ON TUESDAY. THE WIND CHILL VALUES WILL FALL EVEN
FURTHER LATE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNRISE WEDNESDAY MORNING
DIPPING INTO THE 20 TO 30 DEGREE RANGE.

IN THE WAKE OF THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT LIGHT RAIN WILL
DEVELOP TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT AS A COASTAL TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE FORMS ALONG THE LOWER TEXAS COASTLINE. AS THE RAIN MIXES
WITH THE DEEPENING COLD AIR...A MIX OF WINTRY PRECIPITATION IS
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NORTHERN RANCHLAND AREAS. EXPECTED ATMOSPHERIC
TEMPERATURE PROFILES INDICATE THERE IS A CHANCE OF SLEET OR
FREEZING RAIN MIXING IN WITH THE RAINFALL EXPECTED ACROSS THE
NORTHERN RANCH LANDS. AREAS OF ZAPATA...JIM HOGG...BROOKS AND
KENEDY COUNTIES MAY SEE A MIX OF RAIN...SLEET...OR FREEZING RAIN
LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING.

ACCUMULATED FROZEN PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
LIGHT DUE TO FAIRLY WARM GROUND TEMPERATURES. HOWEVER PATCHY
ICING MAY OCCUR ON EXPOSED METAL SURFACES IN ADDITION TO EXPOSED
BRIDGES OR OVERPASSES LATE TUESDAY NIGHT. NO SIGNIFICANT TRAVEL
IMPACTS ARE ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME.

RESIDENTS OF DEEP SOUTH TEXAS ARE URGED TO LISTEN FOR LATER
UPDATES ON THIS DEVELOPING WINTRY WEATHER EVENT. LAST MINUTE
CHANGES TO THE FORECAST LOW TEMPERATURES TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY MORNING ACROSS ZAPATA...BROOKS...JIM HOGG AND KENEDY
COUNTIES COULD PRODUCE A MORE SIGNIFICANT WINTER WEATHER EVENT FOR
