Area forecast discussion, Oct 31, 2:58 AM CDT, 1 hour 47 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
258 AM CDT SAT OCT 31 2015
.DISCUSSION...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN INCREASING IN BOTH COVERAGE AND
INTENSITY ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS EARLY THIS MORNING. ACTIVITY HAS
BEEN TRAINING ACROSS PARTS OF THE AREA...ESPECIALLY FROM NORTHERN
MATAGORDA COUNTY NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF FORT BEND
COUNTY...THE HOUSTON AREA...AND ACROSS LIBERTY COUNTY. RAINFALL RATES
OF 2 TO 4 INCHES PER HOUR ARE OCCURRING WITH THE STRONGER STORMS AND
ASSOCIATED TRAINING...AND THIS WILL LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING. THE FLASH
FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM. IN ADDITION TO THE HEAVY
RAIN...THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SOME STRONG/SEVERE STORMS TO DEVELOP
WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER
THREAT. STILL EXPECTING RAINS TO COME TO AN END FROM WEST TO EAST
AS THE DAY PROGRESSES TODAY...BUT THERE COULD BE LINGERING SHOWERS
ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON
THROUGH EARLY EVENING HOURS. WITH MID/UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SLOWLY
WORKING ITS WAY EASTWARD ACROSS THE STATE TONIGHT AND ON SUNDAY...CANNOT
RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME SHOWERS AND/OR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
WITH THE GREATEST CHANCES PROBABLY IN OUR FAR NORTHEAST COUNTIES.
ONCE THE LOW MOVES OUT OF THE AREA...WE WILL SEE A COUPLE OF QUIET
DAYS WITH LOWS GENERALLY IN THE 50S AND HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 70S.
WARMER TEMPERATURES AND A CHANCE OF RAIN CAN BE EXPECTED FOR THE
SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK AS ONSHORE WINDS RETURN TO THE AREA AND
MOISTURE LEVELS RISE ONCE AGAIN. THE NEXT COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED
TO MOVE INTO THE AREA NEXT WEEKEND. 42
&&
.MARINE...
THE ONSHORE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL REMAIN TIGHT ENOUGH THIS MORNING
TO GENERALLY PRODUCE 20 TO 25 KNOT...GUSTING TO 35 KNOT...OFFSHORE
WINDS. ONCE THE GALE WARNING FALLS OFF JUST BEFORE SUNRISE...GULF
ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE MORNING...CAUTION FLAGS
FOR BOTH BAYS. AS THE SOUTHERN TEXAS SURFACE LOW LIFTS UP ACROSS THE
TEXAS COASTLINE THROUGH THE DAY...OVERALL WINDS AND SEAS WILL WEAKEN
IN RESPONSE TO THE WEAKER GRADIENT. AREAWIDE RAIN WITH THUNDERSTORMS
WILL QUICKLY STRENGTHEN WINDS AND CHURN UP ROUGH SEAS AS LATE AS
EARLY SUNDAY. ONCE THIS LOW MOVES NORTHEAST SUNDAY...A TRAILING COLD
FRONT WILL VEER WINDS AROUND TO OFFSHORE. THESE LIGHT NORTHERLIES
WILL VEER BACK AROUND TO ONSHORE TUESDAY...OR ONCE EASTERN U.S. HIGH
PRESSURE ESTABLISHES ITSELF AND EXPANDS BACK ACROSS THE NORTHERN
GULF WATERS. WEAK SOUTHWESTERN DISTURBANCES RIDING UP THE WESTERN
PERIPHERY OF A GULF-CENTERED MID-UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL INCREASE
WEDNESDAY'S RAIN CHANCES. THE NEXT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE
FRIDAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. 31
