AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
321 PM CST SUN MAR 6 2016

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...THE MAIN IMPACT
CONTINUES TO BE WIND IN THE SHORT TERM AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
CONTINUES TO INCREASE ACROSS THE LOWER TEXAS COAST THIS AFTERNOON.
BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE CWA TONIGHT AND WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO INCREASE MONDAY AS A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS ACROSS
THE COASTAL SECTIONS LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY. IT APPEARS WIND
ADVISORIES WILL BE NEEDED MONDAY...ESPECIALLY IF CLOUD COVER IS LESS
THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST...AS STRONG WINDS ALOFT TO MIX DOWN WITH
DIURNAL HEATING. TOWARDS THE END OF THE SHORT TERM...A 500MB LOW
WILL BE DEVELOPING ACROSS NORTHWEST MEXICO IN THE BASE OF A 500MB
TROUGH MOVING INTO THE SOUTHWEST U.S. MONDAY INTO MON NIGHT. THE
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE WILL PROVIDE WARM AND
DRIER AIR ALOFT TO PROVIDE A CAP FOR CONVECTION THROUGH THE PERIOD.
WILL MENTION SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS MON NIGHT BUT THESE SHOWERS WILL
BE FAIRLY LOW TOPPED AS THEY TRY TO DEVELOP BELOW THE STRONG LOW
LEVEL INVERSION NEAR 850MB. OTHERWISE...WARM AND WINDY
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL MONDAY INTO MON NIGHT.

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...A STRONG AND VERY UNUSUAL
LOW LATITUDE MID LEVEL LOW WILL MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN
MEXICO TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENCE COMBINED
WITH INCREASING MOISTURE WILL SUPPORT CONVECTION ACROSS NORTH
CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST TEXAS ON TUESDAY. DEEP SOUTH TEXAS EXPECTED
TO REMAIN CAPPED ON TUESDAY WITH ONLY ISOLATED CONVECTION
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST. THE STRONG INTERACTION
BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GULF AND LOWER PRESSURE INLAND WILL
RESULT IN BREEZY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY. A MIX OF SUN
AND CLOUDS IS EXPECTED ON TUESDAY WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES RANGING
FROM AROUND 80 NEAR THE COAST TO THE LOWER 90S ACROSS THE WEST.

SPC CONTINUES TO SHOW A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER ALL
OF DEEP SOUTH TEXAS FOR TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. RAIN CHANCES RAMP
UP TUESDAY NIGHT WITH THE BEST DIFFLUENCE ALOFT AND A WEAKENING CAP.
A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE TUESDAY NIGHT
WITH THE MAIN THREATS BEING STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL HAIL. LOW
TEMPERATURES TUESDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S. THE
LATEST GFS AND ECWMF ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE TRACK OF
THE MID LEVEL LOW THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT NEAR THE BIG BEND REGION.
THE ECMWF THEN TRACKS THE LOW FARTHER SOUTH WHILE THE GFS MOVES THIS
FEATURE NORTHEAST WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. RAIN CHANCES WILL
LINGER ACROSS THE REGION WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE 500MB
LOW SLOWLY DRIFTS OVERHEAD. RAIN CHANCES DIMINISH ON SATURDAY AS THE
MID LEVEL LOW MOVES NORTHEAST OF THE AREA.

WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SHIFT TO NORTHWEST WEDNESDAY BEHIND A FRONT AS
THE CENTER OF LOWER PRESSURE MOVES OFFSHORE AND HIGHER PRESSURE
BUILDS INTO THE AREA. HIGH TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY WILL BE AROUND 80.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL BE COOLER WITH LOWS IN THE 50S TO NEAR 60.
DRIER AIR FILTERS IN THE REGION ON SATURDAY...WITH SUNNY SKIES AND
WARMING TEMPERATURES.

&&

.MARINE...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...SEAS WERE NEAR 3 FEET WITH
SOUTHEAST WINDS NEAR 17 KNOTS AT BUOY020 THIS AFTERNOON. STRONG
SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT INTO
MONDAY AS SURFACE LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO DEEPEN ACROSS NORTHWEST
TEXAS WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE EASTERN U.S. COAST
CONTINUES TO TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE LOWER TEXAS
COAST. WINDS HAVE ALREADY REACHED SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA
ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE LAGUNA MADRE AND WILL REACH SCA CRITERIA
OFFSHORE TONIGHT. WILL GO AHEAD AND ISSUE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES FOR
ALL OF THE COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT THROUGH MON AFTERNOON AS WINDS
WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE COASTAL
WATERS MONDAY.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GULF
INTERACTING WITH LOWER PRESSURE INLAND WILL MAINTAIN STRONG
SOUTHEAST WINDS AND BUILDING SEAS TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT.
GALE FORCE GUSTS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE TUESDAY NIGHT. WINDS WILL
SHIFT TO NORTHEAST AND WEAKEN ON WEDNESDAY AS A FRONT MOVES INTO THE
AREA BUT SEAS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED. LIGHT TO MODERATE NORTH WINDS
WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE LOWER TEXAS COASTAL WATERS WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND THURSDAY.  SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST ACROSS
THE THE GULF WATERS THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT DUE TO ELEVATED SEAS.
