AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
638 AM CDT THU JUN 26 2014

.AVIATION...
AREAS OF MAINLY -RA ARE SPREADING TO THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST ACROSS
THE AREA THIS MORNING. SKIES ARE MAINLY VFR WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
CLL WHICH IS IFR. COULD SEE SOME MVFR DECKS DEVELOP AFTER SUNRISE.
MODELS SO FAR THIS MORNING ARE SHOWING SOME SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPMENT
TODAY...BUT NOT SURE IF CURRENT RAINS COULD POSSIBLY KEEP HIGH
TEMPERATURES FROM WARMING ENOUGH TO INITIATE THE ACTIVITY. WITH
SHORTWAVE AXIS MOVING INTO THE AREA LATER THIS MORNING AND THIS
AFTERNOON FROM THE NORTHWEST...THINK IT IS BEST TO KEEP MENTIONING
TSRA IN THE TAFS WITH THE BEST CHANCE PROBABLY COMING THIS AFTERNOON.
AREA SHOULD STABILIZE THIS EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF ANY HEATING WE
DO MANAGE TO GET. COULD SEE SOME SHRA/TSRA DEVELOP AGAIN NEAR THE
COAST BEFORE SUNRISE ON FRIDAY MORNING.  42

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 343 AM CDT THU JUN 26 2014/

DISCUSSION...
QUIETER NOW COMPARED TO 24 HOURS AGO WHEN THUNDERSTORMS WERE
COMING INTO COASTAL AREAS FROM THE GULF...AND ISOLATED STORMS WERE
FOUND INLAND. RADAR COMPOSITES DO SHOW AND AREA OF LIGHT RAIN OVER
THE GULF TRACKING TO THE NWD TOWARD THE COAST...AND SOME COASTAL
ZONES WILL LIKELY SEE SOME OF THIS RAIN BEFORE DAYBREAK AND INTO
THIS MORNING. AS FAR AS THE INGREDIENTS FOR HEAVY RAIN...AMPLE
MOISTURE...LIFT AND INSTABILITY...ALL LOOK A TAD LESS THAN
YESTERDAY WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER PRECIPITABLE WATER AND CONVECTIVE
AVAILABLE POTENTIAL ENERGY...AND LESS OF AN UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM.
STILL THINK THE LIKELY POPS ARE JUSTIFIED...WITH AGAIN THAT THREAT
FOR LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS...AND SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
AMOUNTS NEAR ANY SLOW MOVING MORE INTENSE CELLS. THINK MOST
LOCATIONS WILL SEE AMOUNTS LESS THAN AN INCH.

FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY LOOKING FOR DECREASING RAIN CHANCES EACH DAY
AS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SHIFTS EAST AND WEAKENS...AND RIDGING
OCCURS AT SURFACE AND ALOFT. MOST OF THE WEEKEND LOOKS TO BE DRY
WITH NO MORE THAN AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM AT A FEW
PLACES...AND BEST CHANCES OVER SE ZONES. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
TRENDING UP WITH MOST LOCATIONS IN THE LOWER TO MID 90S FOR
SUNDAY AND INTO NEXT WEEK. THIS SUMMER TIME PATTERN CONTINUES
SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY...WITH HOT HUMID CONDITIONS AND ONLY
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...WITH MOST LOCATIONS REMAINING
DRY. 46

MARINE...
EXPECT ONSHORE WINDS TO RETURN TO THE COASTAL WATERS TODAY AND
STRENGTHEN. CURRENTLY THINK CAUTION LEVEL SPEEDS WILL HOLD OFF
UNTIL TONIGHT. MODERATE TO STRONG ONSHORE WINDS AND ELEVATED
SEAS WILL THEN PERSIST FROM THE END OF THE WEEK ON THROUGH THE
WEEKEND WITH CONDITIONS BORDERING ON CAUTION/ADVISORY CRITERIA
AT TIMES. THE POSSIBILITY FOR ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX(ES)
TO DEVELOP THROUGH FRIDAY STILL LOOKS PRETTY GOOD AS DEEP TROPICAL
MOISTURE REMAINS IN PLACE. HIGHER WINDS/SEAS/LIGHTNING/WATERSPOUTS
ALL REMAIN A POSSIBILITY THROUGH FRIDAY.  42
