DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR LATEST AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

AVIATION...SATELLITE IMAGES AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE LOW
CLOUDS AND FOG ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CWA THIS MORNING. CEILINGS
WERE NEAR 100FT AT KEBG AND KT65 TO NEAR 1600FT AT KHRL.
VISIBILITIES WERE NEAR 1/2SM WITH FOG AT KT65 TO NEAR 4SM WITH FOG
AT KHRL AND KAPY. EXPECT LIFR TO VLIFR WITH FOG AND LOW CLOUDS

CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY RETURN TONIGHT AS WINDS BECOME LIGHT AND
VARIABLE AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE CWA ALLOWING FOG TO
DEVELOP.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 350 AM CST FRI JAN 8 2016/
SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...AREAS OF DENSE FOG CONTINUE
ACROSS EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA EARLY THIS MORNING AS
RADIATIONAL FOG CONTINUES TO DEVELOP WITH RELATIVELY CLEAR SKIES
AND CALM TO LIGHT SOUTH WINDS. WILL CONTINUE DENSE FOG ADVISORY AS
A RESULT. THE FOG SHOULD BEGIN TO LIFT AND BURN OFF WITH DIURNAL
HEATING LATER THIS MORNING. WARMER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED THIS
AFTERNOON COMPARED TO YESTERDAY AS CLEAR SKIES AND SOUTH WINDS
PROVIDE UNSEASONABLY WARM CONDITIONS. AREAS OF FOG...SOME
DENSE...WILL LIKELY REDEVELOP TONIGHT AS WINDS BECOME LIGHT AND
VARIABLE BEFORE A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY
LATE TONIGHT INTO SAT MORNING. DENSE FOG ADVISORIES MAY BE NEEDED
TONIGHT AS A RESULT. MOISTURE WILL BE LIMITED ALONG AND AHEAD OF
THE FRONT SO RAIN CHANCES WILL BE LOW AND CONFINED TO THE COASTAL
SECTIONS. COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL FILTER INTO DEEP SOUTH TEXAS
SATURDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...A PROGRESSIVE UPPER
LEVEL PATTERN BRINGS A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES ACROSS THE REGION.
THIS AS A RESULT WILL INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR LIGHT RAIN/SHOWERS
AND COOLER TEMPERATURES STARTING EARLY NEXT WEEK.

MID LEVEL TROUGH BRINGING THE FRONT EARLY SAT LIFTS NORTHEAST WITH
AMPLIFYING RIDGE REMAINING STATIONARY ALONG THE PAC COAST. SURFACE
HIGH IN PLACE WILL KEEP THE COOLER STABLE AIRMASS OVER THE REGION.
SAT NIGHT INTO SUN WILL BE A VERY PLEASANT PERIOD WITH HIGH TEMPS
STRUGGLING TO REACH THE MID 60S SUN. CLEAR NIGHT EXPECTED SUNDAY
WILL HELP KEEP OVERNIGHT LOWS BETWEEN LOW TO MID 40S ACROSS THE
RGV AND UPPER 30S OVER THE NORTHERN RANCHLANDS. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE
ENERGY DIGS SOUTH ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS DRIFTING SURFACE HIGH
TOWARDS THE EAST AND ALLOWING FOR LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO SLOWLY
RETURN ACROSS THE CWA. A WEAK COASTAL TROUGH DEVELOPS INCREASING
THE POTENTIAL FOR LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN SHOWERS FAVORING THE
COASTAL COUNTIES. TEMPERATURES MONDAY WILL REMAIN IN THE COOLER
SIDE AS CLOUD COVER AND THE CONTINUATION OF RAIN IS EXPECTED
DURING THE DAY. NEXT TROUGH WILL MOVE OVER SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS
TUESDAY WHILE COASTAL TROUGH REMAINS OVER THE REGION. WEAK SURFACE
TROUGH STRENGTHENS CONTINUING THE POTENTIAL FOR RAIN THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY WARM INTO THE 70S BY
THURSDAY WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW RETURNING AND WAA INTO THE REGION DUE
TO ANOTHER SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH NW TEXAS. THIS MID LEVEL
TROUGH WILL LIFT COASTAL TROUGH NORTHEAST AND BRING DRY AIR INTO
THE AREA BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

MARINE...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY...SEAS WERE NEAR 4 FEET WITH SOUTH
WINDS NEAR 2 KNOTS AT BUOY020 EARLY THIS MORNING. LIGHT SOUTH
WINDS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS TODAY AS A COLD FRONT
MOVES INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT

TEXAS COAST SAT MORNING. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST AND
INCREASE SATURDAY AS A RESULT. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL BE
NEEDED FOR THE COASTAL WATERS SATURDAY. AREAS OF MARINE FOG WILL
LIKELY REDEVELOP LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY ASSUMING THE FOG
ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS THIS MORNING BURNS OFF AND LIFTS.

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...NORTHWEST FLOW WILL BE IN PLACE
BEHIND THE FRONT WITH GRADIENT GRADUALLY WEAKENING ALLOWING WINDS
AND SEAS TO LOWER. SURFACE HIGH DRIFTS EAST VEERING WINDS. COASTAL
TROUGH DEVELOPS MONDAY AND STRENGTHENS BY MID WEEK INCREASING THE
POTENTIAL FOR RAIN/SHOWERS THROUGH WEDNESDAY AND BUILDING SEAS TO
A PROLONGED PERIOD OF SCA POSSIBLE. THIS WILL BUILD SEAS CLOSE TO
8 FEET WITH AN EAST TO NORTHEAST FETCH. THU INTO FRIDAY ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS TEXAS WILL INCREASE SOUTHEAST WINDS BY THE
END OF THE WEEK AND LIFT COASTAL TROUGH TOWARDS THE NORTHERN GULF
COAST.
