DML

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 355 PM CST Thu Dec 1 2016/

DISCUSSION...
It's all downhill from here.

High pressure centered over the area today has resulted in plenty
of sunshine and cool but pleasant afternoon temperatures. The high
shifts to the east of the area by tonight. Winds turn more
easterly and moisture increases across the region Friday morning
as a deepening upper trough digs south across the western US into
northern Mexico. This will initiate shower and thunderstorm
development across much of the gulf coast of Texas Friday
afternoon into Friday evening. This activity will slowly work its
way into our area from the west beginning Friday evening and into
Saturday morning.

Significant rainfall still anticipated for the Saturday - Monday
timeframe. Latest QPF guidance indicating widespread totals of 3-5
inches with higher amounts. The higher totals are currently
expected to be across southeast Texas with totals waning with
easterly extent. Flash flooding will be a possibility Saturday,
Sunday and Monday. In addition to the possibility of flash
flooding, the increasing easterly winds on Saturday will provide a
coastal flood risk primarily on Saturday. Winds will remain
easterly to Southeasterly Sunday and Monday morning, but should be
weaker.

Sunday night into Monday, a surface low is forecast to develop as
the entire system begins to shift Northeastward swinging a front
through the area. A question mark remains with regard to severe
weather potential with this system. Forecast soundings show
excellent shear over the are, but the distinct lack of instability
should prevent strong storms Saturday and Sunday. The best chance
for severe weather appears to be on Monday where the area could
briefly get into the warm sector with better instability, but
guidance is spread about if this will occur. The Storm Prediction
Center does highlight the eastern part of the area in a 15%
probability for severe on Monday, but plenty of uncertainty
remains.

Front pushes through and clears things out Monday evening with
another front swinging much more quickly through the area on
Wednesday.

Note: LCH Radar may be available overnight. However, the upgrade
continues and the radar will be taken out of service again Friday
morning.

MARINE...
Small craft exercise caution has been extended until 15Z Friday
due to winds expected to remain near or above 15 knots. Beyond
15Z, A small craft advisory will likely be needed as winds
increase in association with an upper level low approaching the
area.
