AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
121 PM CDT FRI MAY 16 2014

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...DIFFICULT TO COME UP
WITH AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE WEATHER TODAY THAT WOULD MAKE IT MORE
PLEASANT. WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE WESTERN GULF THERE
IS A VERY MODEST SOUTHEAST BREEZE...HIGHS ARE BUILDING INTO THE
LOW 80S AND DEW POINTS ARE IN THE UPPER 40S TO LOW 50S WHICH MAKES
RELATIVE HUMIDITY QUITE LOW. CONVERGENCE ALOFT FROM BUILDING UPPER
RIDGING AND THE PREEXISTING DRY AIR MASS IN PLACE ARE ALSO KEEPING
SKIES CLOUD FREE. WE WILL BE WORKING THIS WEEKEND BUT HOPEFULLY
MOST OF THOSE READING THIS WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOME
PRETTY SPECTACULAR WEATHER.

TONIGHT...RIDGING STRENGTHENS OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO AS
A TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN US DIGS INTO THE EASTERN GULF. THIS WILL
INCREASE OUR LOW LEVEL GRADIENT AND KEEP WIND SPEEDS UP THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. EXPECTING SPEEDS OF AROUND 15 MPH THROUGH THE
EVENING WITH A LITTLE HIGHER VALUES ON THE OFFSHORE GULF OF MEXICO
WATERS. THIS SHOULD KEEP US A LITTLE WARMER AND PREVENT ANOTHER
ROUND OF CHILLY/RECORD LOWS TONIGHT. FORECAST MINS ARE IN THE LOW
TO MID 60S THIS EVENING AMID MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES.

SATURDAY...LOCAL PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL REMAIN FAIRLY HIGH WITH
HIGH PRESSURE STRENGTHENING IN THE GULF...BUT WITHOUT GOOD EAST TO
WEST FLOW OVER THE SIERRA MADRE/ROCKY MOUNTAINS TO INDUCE LEE
TROUGHING OR ANOTHER BIG TROUGH MOVING IN OVER THE PLAINS WE WILL
BE DEPENDENT ON THE LAND/SEA THERMAL GRADIENT AND THERMAL
TROUGHING ON THE MEXICAN PLATEAU TO CRANK UP THE WIND MACHINE.
THIS SHOULD RESULT IN HIGHER WINDS MORE LOCALIZED TO THE COASTAL
COUNTIES WITH LIGHTER VALUES FURTHER INLAND. WIND GUSTS IN THE
COASTAL COUNTIES WILL PROBABLY MOVE TOWARDS 25 TO 30 MPH BY MID TO
LATE MORNING. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM A BIT INTO THE MID TO UPPER
80S IN THE RGV METRO AREAS AND MID 90S FURTHER INLAND AMID SUNNY
TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. DEW POINT VALUES/SENSIBLE HUMIDITY WILL
REMAIN LOW AS OBS AND SATELLITE DERIVED PRECIPITABLE WATER
ESTIMATES SHOW NO REAL INCREASE IN MOISTURE WITHIN A DAY OR TWOS
SOUTHEASTERLY ADVECTION.

SATURDAY NIGHT...KEEPING A STEADY SOUTHEAST BREEZE THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT ALTHOUGH LIKELY A LITTLE LOWER THAN FRIDAY NIGHT. DEW
POINTS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE A LITTLE HIGHER AND THAT SHOULD
RESULT IN PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...UPSTREAM MID LEVEL RIDGING
OVER THE WEST WILL SHIFT SLOWLY EAST TO THE HIGH PLAINS WHILE A MID
LEVEL LOW AND TROUGH DIG SOUTH FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA INTO THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THERE WILL BE VERY LITTLE LOCAL RAMIFICATION TO
THIS DEVELOPMENT EARLY IN THE LONG TERM. HIGH PRESSURE WILL STILL
DOMINATE OVER THE GULF...INTERACTING WITH LOWER PRESSURE INLAND TO
MAINTAIN THE TYPICAL MODERATE SOUTHEAST WIND AND SEASONAL...THOUGH
MILDLY UPWARD TRENDING...TEMPERATURES. BY TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY
HOWEVER...THE CUT OFF LOW WILL MOVE OUT OF THE GREAT BASIN AREA
TOWARD AND INTO THE FOUR CORNERS. FLOW OVER THE CWA WILL BEGIN TO
LOOK MORE SOUTHWEST AS OVERHEAD RIDGING MOVES OUT OF THE WAY TOWARD
THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. ACTIVITY OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF MEXICO
TO THE SOUTH AND WEST SHOULD INCREASE...WITH SOME OF THAT ACTIVITY
ABLE TO MOVE TOWARD THE CWA TUESDAY NIGHT. THE NEW PACKAGE DOES
REFLECT A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN FOR THE UPPER VALLEY TUESDAY NIGHT
AFTER MIDNIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE CONVECTION TO THE
SOUTH WILL LIKELY BECOME A RECURRING THEME BOTH WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
THURSDAY NIGHT...SINCE THE UPPER LOW WILL TEND TO STAGNATE OVER THE
SOUTHWEST U.S. A MONSOONAL TYPE FLOW WILL PUMP UPPER MOISTURE FROM
SOUTH TO NORTH OVER MEXICO...AND NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN WILL BE THE LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE FEEDING OVER THE RGV AND INTO THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS
FROM THE GULF. THUS...CLOUD COVER WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE AROUND MID
WEEK...WHILE LOW OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL CREEP INTO THE 70S.
RAIN CHANCES WILL NO LONGER BE NEGLIGIBLE FOR THE UPPER VALLEY...
THOUGH WHAT IS DERIVED FROM LOW PROBABILITY THUNDERSTORMS FROM
ACROSS THE RIVER WILL BE HIT OR MISS.

&&

.MARINE...
TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...MODERATE SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL
INCREASE TONIGHT. MARGINAL SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY ON THE OFFSHORE WATERS THROUGH TONIGHT.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED ON SATURDAY ON THE
LAGUNA MADRE AS STRONG WIND HUG THE COASTLINE. MARGINAL SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE ON THE GULF OF MEXICO AGAIN
ON SATURDAY NIGHT. SEAS WILL BUILD TO MODERATE AND POSSIBLY
BECOME ROUGH BY SATURDAY NIGHT AMID THE PERSISTENT SOUTHEAST
WINDS.

SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...THE MAIN UPSTREAM H5 RIDGE WILL SHIFT EAST
OVER THE HIGH PLAINS SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...WITH DOWNSTREAM
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN PART OF THE COUNTRY STILL ALSO
OVER THE NORTH GULF OF MEXICO. POSSIBLE EXERCISE CAUTION STRENGTH
WINDS FROM SATURDAY NIGHT WILL RELAX A BIT SUNDAY...WITH MODERATE
SOUTHEAST WINDS AND SEAS. A MID LEVEL LOW AND TROUGH DIGGING OUT OF
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL PRODUCE PRESSURE FALLS DOWNSTREAM OVER
THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS EARLY IN THE WEEK HOWEVER...MAINTAINING AN
INTERACTION WITH GULF HIGH PRESSURE AND RESULTING IN A GRADIENT THAT
WILL SUPPORT EXERCISE CAUTION CONDITION STRENGTH WINDS ON THE GULF
AT NIGHT AND ON THE LAGUNA MADRE DURING THE AFTERNOON.
