AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
932 PM CST TUE JAN 26 2016
.DISCUSSION...
TREND ON RADAR THIS EVENING IS FOR DECREASING RAIN/SHOWER COVERAGE.
HAVE LOWERED POPS FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AS DRIER
AIR BEGINS TO WORK ITS WAY INTO SOUTHEAST TEXAS FROM THE NORTH. 42
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 555 PM CST TUE JAN 26 2016/
AVIATION...
VFR. LIGHT RAIN OR VCSH STILL AFFECTING MANY TERMINALS AT TAF
TIME. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS
FROM THE CITY NORTHWARD...LONGER DURATION OVER KLBX AND KGLS.
WITH THE SURFACE COLD FRONT OFFSHORE...THE MID-LEVEL BOUNDARY IS
HANGING BACK TO THE WEST AND ITS EASTERN MOVEMENT WILL ULTIMATELY
DETERMINE WHEN THE LIGHT PRECIPITATION WILL END. DRIER AIR
SLOTTING IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST SHOULD TAPER -RA OFF THROUGH LATE
EVENING OVER FAR INTERIOR HUBS...CLOSER TO 09Z OR SO OVER MORE
COASTAL TERMINALS...OR WHEN THE MID-UPPER TROUGH IS TO THE EAST
AND ENDS THIS OVERRUNNING SCENARIO. OVERALL BACKING HIGH PRESSURE
WILL TEMPO TIGHTEN OVERNIGHT OFFSHORE PRESSURE GRADIENT...KEEP
MORE STOUT NORTHERLIES IN PLACE THROUGH MID-LATE MORNING. HIGH
BUILDING OVER...WITH A DRYING COLUMN....WILL MAKE FOR WEAK NORTH
BREEZES AND SCATTERING HIGH CLOUDINESS AT PERIOD'S END. 31
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 344 PM CST TUE JAN 26 2016/
DISCUSSION...
SHORTWAVE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST IS HELPING TO FILL THE RADAR
SCOPE THIS AFTN...WITH THIS TREND LIKELY CONTINUING INTO THE EVE
HRS. STILL SEEING SOME LIGHTNING WITH THIS ACTIVITY (MORE SO NEAR
THE COAST/GULF WATERS) SO DID ADD(KEEP) THE MENTION OF ISO TSRAS
IN THE WX GRIDS FOR TONIGHT. ALSO INCREASED POPS A BIT ACROSS INLAND
AREAS DURING THIS TIME FRAME. THIS DISTURBANCE IS STILL FCST TO
MOVE OUT OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER WITH THE MAIN UPPER TROF/LOW LINGERING
TO THE SW...MID/HIGH CLOUDS COULD PERSIST UNTIL LATE TOMORROW AFTN.
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING OVER WESTERN U.S. AND AN ATTENDANT NWLY FLOW
ALOFT HERE WILL HELP TO KEEP THINGS QUIET/DRY THE REST OF THE WEEK.
THIS UPPER RIDGE IS PROGGED TO BREAK DOWN FRI/SAT AS A SHORTWAVE
IN THE SRN STREAM BREAKS OFF AND DEEPENS AROUND THE CA BAJA. THE
FLATTENING UPPER FLOW SHOULD BECOME MORE SWLY WITH TIME OVER THE
WEEKEND. WHILE WE MIGHT NOT GET ANY PCPN WITH THIS INITIAL WX SYSTEM
(MAINLY DUE TO LIMITED MOISTURE)...THIS PATTERN CHANGE WILL PAVE
THE WAY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT/SUBSEQUENT PASSAGE OF A STRONG/ WELL
DEFINED UPPER LOW EARLY NEXT WEEK. ATTM LONG RANGE GUIDANCE IS
INDICATING THAT THIS SYSTEM SHOULD TAKE A MORE EASTWARD TRACK
NORTH OF SE TX (MOSTLY ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS) BUT COULD HELP
DRAG A STRONG COLD FRONT INTO THE AREA BY NEXT TUES OR SO. 41
MARINE...
ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS ARE EXPECTED FOR TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...WITH
GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS POSSIBLE FROM MID EVENING THROUGH EARLY
WEDNESDAY MORNING. DIMINISHING WIND SPEEDS ON WEDNESDAY WILL LIKELY
FALL BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS BY EARLY EVENING WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL THEN MOVE ACROSS THE STATE AND OFF THE COAST DURING THE MID
WEEK PERIOD. ONSHORE WINDS WILL RETURN BY FRIDAY NIGHT WITH MODERATE
ONSHORE WINDS POSSIBLE OVER THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.
FOR THE TIDES...A BIT OF A NORTHEASTERLY COMPONENT IN THE WIND
DIRECTION HAS KEPT THE TIDE LEVELS HIGHER THAT EXPECTED. THAT
SAID...MODERATE TO STRONG OFFSHORE WINDS SHOULD LEAD TO TIDE LEVELS
FALLING AT LEAST SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL LATER TONIGHT AND ON
