HUFFMANWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Houston/Galveston, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at May 26, 4:41 PM CDT, 1 hour 16 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 26, 4:41 PM CDT, 1 hour 16 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
441 PM CDT THU MAY 26 2016
.DISCUSSION...
Large MCS that developed over the northern parts of the CWA earl-
ier this afternoon will be continuing to move E/SE into the even-
ing hrs. Reports of tornadic damage have been largely confined to
Bryan/College Station area but reports of flooding have been more
widespread over Washington, Burleson, Brazos, Grimes, and Madison
counties. Given the current trends, not expecting things to quiet
down until late this evening. Of concern is the track of this MCS
toward Harris county during the next few hrs. Also seeing another
shortwave (per WV imagery) moving in from the W/SW...with an ext-
rapolated timing for this evening. A break from all the action is
progged for the overnight hours.
However...
Models are hitting SE TX with more unsettled wx for tomorrow with
another disturbance moving in from the SW. Upper jet dynamics and
low-level jet structure are progged to be a bit more favorable as
the very moist airmass remains in place. The main uncertainty may
be how unstable/worked over we will be (in the wake of the storms
today). But given how wet the pattern has been have opted to keep
POPS high for tomorrow.
The forecast for this upcoming holiday weekend looks to remain an
active one (though not as active as today/possibly tomorrow). The
seabreeze should be the main focus with daytime heating. Possible
embedded shortwaves within the persistent SW flow aloft could add
more lift (storms) to this scenario. Did lean more heavily on the
ECMWF in the extended. 41
&&
.MARINE...
The tight pressure gradient between a deep low over the OK/TX
Panhandles and a high over the southeastern U.S. will maintain a
strong southeasterly flow through Friday. Winds will likely
strengthen to SCA levels early this evening. seas are running 4 to 6
feet and should increase to 5 to 8 feet on Friday
A persistent fetch from the Western Carribean combined with the
strong on shore flow will raise tide levels to near 3.5 feet above
MLLW on Friday morning. A coastal flood advisory will likely be
necessary on Friday morning's high tide along the Bolivar Peninsula.
Memorial Day weekend weather will be less active...a 10-15 knot
southeast wind over gradually lowering seas...3 to 4 foot wave
heights by late Saturday night through Sunday PM. Memorial Day will
be tranquil...very low rain chances and a near 10 knot onshore wind
over average 2 to 3 foot wave heights. 44
