Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service BROWNSVILLE TX
1104 PM CST Wed Jan 4 2017

.DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below.

&&

.AVIATION...Evening sounding showed main inversion around 5000
feet, with a weak inversion around 3000. This has pushed the cloud
deck upwards this evening to around 2500. Overnight cooling
should bring cigs back down to around 1500 overnight, with light
fog forming just before dawn, remaining generally above 3SM. Winds
shift from the south after sunrise, which will help break up the
overcast deck late morning.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 545 PM CST Wed Jan 4 2017/

DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below.

AVIATION...Minimal change to overnight forecast. Cigs currently
around 1500 feet will slowly lower to around 700 feet after
midnight, with some fog formation expected. Light and variable
winds overnight will shift from the south tomorrow morning,
helping to erode the low cloud deck through the morning hours.

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 316 PM CST Wed Jan 4 2017/

SHORT TERM (Tonight through Thursday night): Modest cold front
which moved through in the pre-dawn hours has dropped temperatures
15-25 degrees from 24 hours ago, putting them a few degrees below
normal for most locations. SSW flow just above the surface is
being isentropically lifted over the cooler dome of air at the
surface, keeping BKN-OVC low clouds over the entire CWA. Expect
these low clouds to persist and eventually lower through the
overnight as surface temps cool mostly into the 50s and
overrunning continues...closer to 60 along the coasts of Cameron
and Willacy counties. The low clouds should mitigate denser fog
formation (for a change), but some light fog/mist isn't out of the
question.

A pleasant day looks to be in store for Thursday.  More-or-less
zonal flow aloft continues.  Meanwhile, at the surface, the high
migrates eastward, causing a veering of the winds locally to SE by
late afternoon.  Just above the surface, some drier air aloft moves
in, leading to some sunshine by mid-day.  Inherited high temps in
the mid-upper 70s looked good and so were retained.

A big change is in store beginning Thursday night as the next strong
cold moves through from north-to-south.  Latest model solutions are
a bit faster and more aggressive with the front, moving it into the
northern counties around midnight and all the way through the RGV by
sunrise.  Some fog may develop ahead of the front, mainly in Cameron
and Willacy counties, but the window appears to be fairly short.
Breezy to gusty north winds arrive behind the front, with
temperatures quickly falling and any fog quickly dissipating.
Current forecast is for mid-upper 40s across the northern Ranchlands
with low 60s at BRO at 12Z Friday. Temps will continue to cool
beyond that time. Scattered showery precip also expected to
accompany the front.  Both GFS and NAM indicate a little instability
ahead of the front, but a look at forecast soundings reveals that
too much capping will be in place for thunder, even with some decent
frontal lifting.

LONG TERM (Friday through Wednesday): Once the front has passed
through Friday morning, temperatures will plunge through the 50s,
with steady or slowly falling temps in the afternoon. Post-frontal
cloud cover and weak overrunning will provide continued threat for
light rain/drizzle, mainly for the coastal counties into Friday
evening. With the cloud cover and light rain still possible
overnight, the temperatures will not have the opportunity to
plunge significantly, but will still fall into the upper 30s and
lower 40s by dawn Saturday. Models show the remnants of a weak
secondary push moving through the region around sunrise Saturday.
This will keep the cold air advection going through the day
Saturday, but will have the additional effect of bringing dry air
into the region, shutting down rainfall and clearing out skies.
This will lead to a colder night Saturday night, with lows getting
into the lower 30s across the northern ranchlands. a few readings
near freezing are possible up there briefly at sunrise Sunday.
Winds begin to shift to the northeast and east during the day
Sunday, moderating the cooler temperatures. The onshore flow will
also bring the possibility of a sea fog bank drifting inland
during the day. Modest southeast flow continues early next week,
with temperatures back into the upper 70s.

MARINE:
Now through Thursday night: Winds gradually veer from NE to S and
remain at light to moderate levels between now and Thursday
afternoon. Seas also subside from current 5 ft. down to 2-3 ft.
during that period. Some patchy fog is possible tomorrow night for
the southern Laguna Madre and near-shore Gulf waters ahead of an
approaching strong cold front. Front enters the northern coastal
waters by midnight Thursday night and quickly sweeps southward,
with winds increasing to 20-25G30KT requiring Small Craft
Advisories to be issued, even though seas will be a bit slower to
respond.

Friday through Sunday: The strong north winds behind the front
will continue through the day Friday, and will be reinforced early
Saturday morning, keeping surface winds around 25 knots, with a
few gusts possible in the low 30 knot range right around sunrise
Saturday. Seas will begin jumping to 7 to 10 feet during the day
friday. Advisories will likely continue into Saturday evening
before seas finally relax below 7 feet around midnight Sunday.
Winds will shift to the northeast Sunday afternoon, which sets up
for a favorable pattern for sea fog to develop for the Laguna
Madre.
