CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE LOWER
CIGS/VISBYS REDEVELOP OVERNIGHT. CIGS/VISBYS SHOULD DROP DOWN INTO
THE LIFR/IFR CATEGORIES THROUGH MUCH OF THE 07Z-14Z PERIOD LATE
TONIGHT/EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. HOWEVER...FOG DEVELOPMENT MAY BE
LIMITED IF SOUTHEAST WINDS REMAIN STRONGER. CONDITIONS WILL
IMPROVE BY MID TO LATE THURSDAY MORNING DUE TO INCREASED MIXING.
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH AND MOVE THROUGH DEEP SOUTH AROUND MID
AFTERNOON THURSDAY RESULTING IN GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 555 PM CST WED JAN 20 2016/

DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR LATEST AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

AVIATION...A FEW LOW CLOUDS WITH MODERATE SOUTHEAST WINDS
PREVAIL ACROSS DEEP SOUTH TEXAS THIS EVENING. THE SOUTHEAST WINDS
WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET. MVFR/VFR CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL THROUGH LATE THIS EVENING BEFORE CIGS LOWER/VISBYS
REDEVELOP LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. CIGS/VISBYS
WILL DROP DOWN INTO THE LIFR/IFR CATEGORIES THROUGH MUCH OF THE
06Z- 14Z PERIOD LATE TONIGHT/EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. CONDITIONS
WILL BEGIN TO IMPROVE BY MID TO LATE THURSDAY MORNING DUE TO
INCREASE MIXING. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH AND MOVE THROUGH DEEP
SOUTH BY LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON RESULTING IN GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 246 PM CST WED JAN 20 2016/

SHORT TERM  /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...AN UPPER TROUGH OF
LOW PRESSURE IS CURRENTLY DEEPENING ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND
THIS IS SUPPORTING LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW WITH ELEVATED DEW POINTS
ACROSS DEEP SOUTH TEXAS. FOR TONIGHT...WILL SEE A RESURGENCE OF
WIDESPREAD LOW CLOUDS AND FOG ACROSS MUCH OF THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY.
SIMILAR TO THIS MORNING...FOG WILL BE LOCALLY DENSE IN A NUMBER OF
LOCATIONS MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT THROUGH MID THURSDAY MORNING.

ON THURSDAY...A POTENT SHORTWAVE WILL ROUND THE BASE OF THE UPPER
TROUGH TO OUR NORTH AS THE ENTIRE UPPER TROUGH PUSHES SOUTHEAST
TOWARD THE NORTHWEST GULF. A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE
SHORTWAVE GOING BY TO OUR NORTH WILL SWEEP SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA THURSDAY AFTERNOON. WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BECOME
GUSTY...BUT SHOULD GENERALLY REMAIN BELOW WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA.
THE STRONGEST WINDS LOOK TO OCCUR OVER THE FAR WEST WHERE SOME
DOWNSLOPING COMPONENT WILL ENTER INTO THE WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS
THERE. SKIES WILL RAPIDLY CLEAR FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE DAY ON
THURSDAY AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. PERHAPS NOT
SURPRISINGLY...THERE ARE NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FORECASTED
HIGHS IN THE NUMERICAL GUIDANCE ON THURSDAY IN THIS HIGHLY
CHANGING EVENT. FOR NOW...WILL TREND TOWARD COOLER NAM/GFS HIGHS
THAT WILL STILL BE MUCH ABOVE NORMAL...AND RANGE FROM THE MID TO
UPPER 70S. SOME LOCATIONS MAY ACTUALLY HIT 80.

FOR THURSDAY NIGHT...WINDS RAPIDLY DECREASE OVER THE LAND AREAS OF
DEEP SOUTH TEXAS BEFORE MIDNIGHT. STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION
ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT WILL BRING SOMEWHAT BELOW NORMAL OVERNIGHT
LOWS THAT WILL BOTTOM OUT IN THE LOWER/MID 40S OVER MUCH OF THE
MID/UPPER RIO GRANDE VALLEY WITH MID/UPPER 40S CLOSER TO THE COAST.
THESE LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE MUCH COOLER THAN LOWS REACHED THE
PAST COUPLE OF NIGHTS AND PEOPLE SHOULD PREPARE THEMSELVES FOR THE
MUCH COOLER LOWS.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...LARGE H5 RIDGE BUILDS IN
QUICKLY BEHIND THE THURSDAY TROUGH...WITH BRISK NW FLOW ALOFT.
THIS WILL PUSH THE SFC HIGH INTO THE AREA DURING THE DAY FRIDAY.
SFC WINDS WILL SLOWLY DECREASE AS THE CORE OF THE HIGH MOVES INTO
SE TX. DRY PARCEL SFC TO SPACE WILL MAKE FOR CLEAR SKIES...WHILE
CAA KEEPS TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S FOR HIGHS FRIDAY. SFC STILL
IN PLACE FOR SATURDAY WILL BRING ANOTHER CLEAR DAY WITH HIGHS IN
THE 60S. H5 RIDGE GETS PUSHED EAST BY THE NEXT LARGE SCALE TROUGH
SWEEPING ACROSS THE CENTRAL US. THIS WILL INDUCE LOW PRESSURE
GENERATION ACROSS THE TEXAS PANHANDLE ON SUNDAY...DRAGGING A COLD
FRONT ACROSS TEXAS MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. THE FRONT WILL MOVE
INTO DEEP SOUTH TEXAS JUST BEFORE DAWN TUESDAY. MODELS ARE SLOWLY
BECOMING MORE OPTIMISTIC ON THE PRECIPITATION
DEVELOPING...ESPECIALLY IS THE FRONT SLOWS ANY INTO THE DAYTIME
HOURS TUESDAY. WILL BEGIN TO BUMP UP POPS FOR TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY
IN THE MARINE AREAS. WEDNESDAY IS STILL UNCLEAR AS MODELS ARE NOT
HANDLING THE REMNANTS OF THE FRONT WELL.

MARINE...
TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...A WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL
PERSIST IN THE SHORT TERM...SUPPORTING LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTHEAST
WINDS AND LOW TO MODERATE SEAS. WINDS WILL VEER TO SOUTHWEST AND
THEN WEST ON THURSDAY AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA
ON THURSDAY EVENING. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL MOST LIKELY BE
NEEDED FOR THE GULF WATERS THURSDAY NIGHT WITH A GALE WARNING
POSSIBLE FOR THE OUTER WATERS.

FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...ADVISORIES WILL BE ONGOING AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD AS WINDS SLOWLY WEAKEN BEHIND THE FRONT.
BY SUNSET FRIDAY AT THE LATEST...ADVISORIES SHOULD BE COMPLETE.
BOTH DAYS THIS WEEKEND LOOK MUCH BETTER FOR MARINE WEATHER...AS
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE NW GULF. WINDS SATURDAY WILL BE
LIGHT...ALLOWING SEAS TO DROP TO 2 FEET OR LESS AND NEARLY SMOOTH
LAGUNA WATERS. SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL SLOWLY RETURN ON SUNDAY...WITH
A MINOR INCREASE OF GULF SWELLS.
