AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
612 PM CST WED MAR 9 2016
.AVIATION...
FCST REMAINS TRICKY REGARDING STORMS AND WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAINS
WILL FALL. FOR NOW WILL KEEP THE MENTION OF STRONGEST TSRAS ALONG
AND NEAR THE COAST FOR THE EVENING HRS BASED ON CURRENT TRENDS. A
LOOK AT THE SHORT-TERM MODELS INDICATING THE THREAT OF PCPN MIGHT
PERSIST THRU THE OVERNIGHT HRS...WITH THIS ACTIVITY CLEARING TOM-
ORROW AFTN. WET GROUNDS/LIGHTER WINDS TO HELP PRODUCE LOWER CIGS/
VIS TOMORROW NIGHT INTO FRI MORNING. HOWEVER STILL CAN'T RULE OUT
SOME -RA/DZ AS THE MAIN UPPER LOW APPROACHES FROM THE SW. 41
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 413 PM CST WED MAR 9 2016/
A CHALLENGING FORECAST PERIOD FOR SOUTHEAST TEXAS CONTINUES
TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN PERSISTING
THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. THE MAIN FORECAST UPDATE WAS TO EXTEND
THE CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH 6 AM CST FOR ALL OF
SOUTHEAST TEXAS.
MANY ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS REMAIN INCREDIBLY FAVORABLE FOR
HEAVY RAIN... WITH DIFFLUENT FLOW ALOFT AHEAD OF AN UPPER LEVEL
LOW APPROXIMATELY 800 MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE REGION OVER MEXICO...
ANOMALOUSLY HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES IN EXCESS OF 1.6
INCHES... AND A LARGELY UNIDIRECTIONAL WIND PROFILE ENCOURAGING
TRAINING OF SHOWERS AND STORMS. THE MAIN ISSUE WITH THE
DEVELOPMENT OF HEAVY RAIN HAS BEEN ACTUAL TRIGGERING/FOCUSING
MECHANISMS. SUBTLE SHORTWAVES TRANSLATING ACROSS THE REGION IN THE
FLOW ALOFT HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT TO TIME... BUT HAVE BEEN BIG
DRIVERS IN THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE DAY TODAY.
ADDITIONALLY... SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA DID
ACTUALLY EXPERIENCE SOME SUBSIDENCE IN THE WAKE OF CONVECTION
EARLIER THIS MORNING /AS EVIDENCED BY THE ANOMALOUS PROPAGATION
THAT DEVELOPED WHEN THE RADAR BEAM WAS DUCTED DOWNWARD TOWARDS THE
GULF BETWEEN NOON AND 2 PM TODAY/... AND THIS ALSO HELPED LIMIT
SOME OF THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY ACROSS THOSE AREAS TODAY.
HOWEVER... IT APPEARS THAT THE ATMOSPHERE HAS HAD ENOUGH TIME TO
RECOVER GIVEN THE LATEST CONVECTIVE TRENDS OVER THE GULF AND
EXPECT NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE
REGION HEADING INTO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD GIVEN THE AFOREMENTIONED
CONDITIONS. AFTERNOON SURFACE ANALYSIS DOES SHOW A WEAK FRONTAL
BOUNDARY STRETCHING FROM NEAR MATAGORDA BAY TO HOUSTON HOBBY TO UP
TOWARDS CLEVELAND AS OF 3 PM CST. THIS BOUNDARY HAS SLOWLY SAGGED
SOUTH TOWARDS THE COAST THROUGH THE DAY AND HAS BEEN POORLY
RESOLVED BY SHORT-TERM GUIDANCE IN HOW THIS FEATURE WILL EVOLVE.
COULD SEE HEAVIER RAINFALL FOCUS ALONG THIS BOUNDARY TONIGHT...
WITH WIDESPREAD TOTALS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES AND LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS
POSSIBLE.
WITH THE UPPER LOW WEST OF THE REGION THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF
THE WEEK... HAVE KEPT RAIN CHANCES IN THE FORECAST THURSDAY
THROUGH SATURDAY. COULD SEE A BRIEF LULL IN ACTIVITY BY THURSDAY
AFTERNOON AS DRIER AIR WRAPS AROUND THE UPPER LOW PUSHING INTO
SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS. DEEPEST MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST OF
THE REGION BY LATE THURSDAY... HELPING TO LIMIT THE HEAVY RAIN
THREAT FROM THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AFTER THURSDAY. DRY CONDITIONS
AND TEMPERATURES WARMING TO ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS ARE EXPECTED BY
SUNDAY AS THE UPPER LOW CLEARS THE REGION.
HUFFMAN
MARINE...
MODERATE TO STRONG WINDS...ROUGH SEAS...AND ELEVATED TIDES SHOULD
PERSIST THROUGH THURSDAY. PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CAN
BE EXPECTED...AND SOME OF THE STORMS COULD BE STRONG OR SEVERE.
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE TOO. RAIN CHANCES REMAIN IN THE
FORECAST THROUGH SATURDAY. WINDS AND SEAS WILL DECREASE BY THE END
OF THE WEEK...THEN INCREASE A LITTLE ONCE AGAIN SATURDAY NIGHT AND
SUNDAY UNDER A STRENGTHENING SOUTHWEST FLOW. THE ELEVATED WINDS
AND SEAS WILL KEEP TIDE LEVELS ABOVE NORMAL AND CAUSE SOME RUN
UP... ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGH ISLAND AREA NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF
HIGHWAY 87 AND 124. 42
