Area forecast discussion, Jan 9, 3:45 AM CST, 15 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
345 AM CST FRI JAN 9 2015
.SHORT TERM /NOW THROUGH SATURDAY/...EXTENDED PERIOD OF COLD AND
WET CONDITIONS THIS PERIOD...
AFTER ALL THE DISCUSSION THE LAST FEW DAYS THE WET WEATHER IS ON
ITS WAY. COASTAL TROUGHING IS SLOWLY DEVELOPING WITH NORTH TO
SOUTH RADAR ECHOES SHOWING UP OVER THE OUTER COASTAL WATERS. MODEL
CONSENSUS ON TRACK TO STRENGTHEN THIS TROUGH INTO A LOW PRESSURE
AREA OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS AS THE UPPER LOW APPROACHES FROM
THE WEST. LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WITH 25-35 KNOTS 850H FLOW TO
SURGE GULF MOISTURE OVER A REINFORCING SHOT OF CANADIAN AIR POISED
TO SURGE THROUGH THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. A LOT OF
WEATHER IS ON ITS WAY MAKING FOR A MESSY AND DIFFICULT FORECAST.
TO START OFF TEMPERATURES WILL BE THEIR RELATIVELY WARMEST BY NOON
IN ADVANCE OF THE REINFORCING COLD FRONT. MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGEST LOW
TO MID 50S IN THE RGV BUT AS NORTHWEST WINDS INCREASE WITH THE
TROUGH STRENGTHENING OFFSHORE ANY FURTHER WARMING WILL BE SQUASHED.
TEMPERATURES TO FALL THROUGH THE NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING. LITTLE
DIURNAL RISE DURING THE DAY. TEMPERATURES APPROACH FREEZING ACROSS
THE NORTHERN RANCHLANDS LATE TONIGHT/SAT MORNING BUT DO NOT QUITE
MAKE IT BELOW.
PRECIPITATION NEXT ON THE AGENDA...AS MENTIONED LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE INCREASES AND STRONG 850MB EAST TO SOUTHEAST FLOW TO
SURGE ABUNDANT DEEP MOISTURE INTO THE REGION. MODELS HAVE BEEN
SUGGESTING PWATS OF 150+ OF NORMAL THE LAST SEVERAL RUNS. AN
EXTENDED PERIODS OF MODERATE RAIN WITH HEAVIER EMBEDDED SHOWERS ARE
ANTICIPATED ALONG AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 69C WITH A SURE BET OF RAIN
TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. RAIN AMOUNTS COULD EXCEED ONE INCH WITH SOME
MODELS INDICATING UPWARDS OF 2+ INCHES ALONG THE LOWER COAST THROUGH
SATURDAY. MODEL GUIDANCE WERE APPROACHING 100 PERCENT WITH THE
OFFICIAL FORECAST STAIR STEPPING UP TO THOSE VALUES. WITH
TEMPERATURES NEARING FREEZING UP NORTH WILL CONTINUE THE MENTION OF
ICE PELLETS/SLEET IN THE FORECAST. MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE A RATHER
SHARP INVERSION WITH A WARM LAYER BETWEEN 950 AND 800MB WITH A
SHALLOW FREEZING LAYER OF AROUND 1500 FEET. THIS MIGHT NOT BE
SUFFICIENT FOR SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SLEET. THERE IS STILL AN
OUTSIDE CHANCE OF A WET BULB COOLING TO OCCUR WITH SOME MODELS
SUGGESTING DEW POINTS FALLING INTO THE MID TO UPPER 20S ACROSS THE
NORTHERN RANCH LANDS. IF THIS DOES OCCUR FREEZING RAIN ACROSS SOME
ELEVATED SURFACES LIKE BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES MAY OCCUR. ROADWAYS
REMAIN TOO WARM FOR ANY ICE ACCRETION SO ANY APPRECIABLE TRAVEL
IMPACTS WILL BE MINIMAL AT THIS TIME.
FINALLY NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS TO INCREASE LATE TODAY BECOMING
BREEZY OVERNIGHT INTO SATURDAY ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST. THE BRISK
WINDS TO COMBINE WITH THE FALLING TEMPERATURES MAKING THE WIND CHILL
A FACTOR. A WIND CHILL ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED FOR ALL AREA STARTING
AT MIDNIGHT AND PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF SATURDAY WITH FEEL LIKE
TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 25-30 DEGREES.
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...WEST GULF LOW
WILL DEVELOP SATURDAY NIGHT IN RESPONSE TO APPROACHING S/W TROUGH
MOVING NORTHERN MEXICO. AS THIS MID LEVEL FEATURE LIFTS
NORTHEASTWARD IT WILL TAKE THE SFC SYSTEM ALONG WITH IT. LIGHT
RAIN WITH MORE MODERATE RAIN SHOWERS CLOSE TO THE COAST AND
OFFSHORE TO START THE PERIOD WILL DECREASE FROM WEST TO EAST
SUNDAY WITH DRY WEATHER RETURNING BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. LOW LEVEL
WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL KEEP LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S ACROSS
DEEP SOUTH TEXAS WITH HIGHS SUNDAY IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 50S. MAY
EVEN SEE SOME PEAKS OF THE SUN IN THE WESTERN COUNTIES BEFORE
SUNSET. WE WILL BE ON THE SUBSIDENT SIDE OF DEPARTING TROUGH WILL
PROBABLY EXPERIENCE A FEW MORE BREAKS AND HIGHS A LITTLE WARMER
INTO THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S. ANOTHER COLD FRONT IS ON TAP
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING SUPPORTED BY A S/W TROUGH ACROSS
THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND GREAT LAKES AREA. CLOUDS AND
PRECIPITATION WILL INCREASE ONCE AGAIN TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
TIMEFRAME WITH A 5-10 DEGREE DROP IN HIGHS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
AS COMPARED TO MONDAY. WEAK COASTAL TROUGHING AND OVERRUNNING
DEVELOPS DURING THIS PERIOD AS WELL WITH AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE
FOR RAIN. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL LINGER INTO THURSDAY BUT WILL
BE RELEGATED TO MAINLY THE COASTAL WATERS AS MORE FAVORABLE
OVERRUNNING GETS SHUNTED TO THE SOUTHEAST.
&&
.MARINE...NOW THROUGH SATURDAY...LIGHT WINDS THIS MORNING TO
INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON BECOMING STRONG BY TONIGHT AND REMAINING
STRONG SATURDAY. DEVELOPING COASTAL TROUGH TO COMBINE WITH ANOTHER
SURGE OF HIGH PRESSURE PRODUCING A LONG PERIOD OF STRONG NORTHERLY
FLOW. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES GO INTO EFFECT AT NOON AND PERSIST
THROUGH SATURDAY. THERE REMAINS A SMALL WINDOW FOR GALE FORCE GUSTS
TONIGHT BUT EXPECTING ONLY A FEW GUSTS SO NO WATCH/WARNING WILL BE
ISSUED AT THIS TIME. THE COASTAL TROUGH AND EVENTUAL LOW PRESSURE
AREA TO PASS OVER OR JUST EAST OF THE OUTER COASTAL WATERS SATURDAY
WITH SOME WIND DIRECTION AND SPEEDS VARYING AT TIMES. SEAS TO BECOME
QUITE HAZARDOUS EXCEEDING THE 10 FOOT LEVEL TONIGHT.
SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...ADVERSE MARINE CONDITIONS
WILL SPREAD INTO THE LONG TERM TILL AT LEAST SUNDAY WITH ELEVATED
WINDS AND SEAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COASTAL LOW AND TROUGH. AS THE
SYSTEM MOVES NORTHEAST BY SUNDAY NIGHT...BETTER CONDITIONS EXPECTED
THEN BUT EXERCISE CAUTION MAY BE NEEDED FOR THE OFFSHORE WATERS WITH
SEA HEIGHTS HOVERING AROUND 6 FEET. MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT BRING
BACK FAVORABLE CONDITIONS ACROSS ALL LOWER TEXAS COASTAL WATERS.
THIS WILL BE SHORT LIVED AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH
LATE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY BRINGING A RETURN OF MORE UNFAVORABLE
CONDITIONS WITH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES POSSIBLE.
