Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
1054 PM CST Fri Jan 20 2017

.DISCUSSION...
Second batch of storms currently moving across SE TX this evening
and appear to be holding strong despite moving into a rain-cooled
airmass (from the stronger activity earlier this evening). Storm-
motion has been pretty steady to the ENE and we should seeing the
storms out of the CWA by midnight. Wind profile has become fairly
linear with this round, so not expecting much by way of severe wx
tonight. Main forecast issue going into the overnight/early morn-
ing hours will be fog. Already seeing some lower visibilities in/
around SE TX...and with the wet grounds/light winds and very min-
imal T/Td spreads, we should see widespread fog development going
forward. 41

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 316 PM CST Fri Jan 20 2017/

Showers and a few thunderstorms have begun to develop near the
Victoria Crossroads this afternoon, with additional development
expected through the remainder of the evening hours as a 140 knot
upper level jet slides across the region. Little has changed in
overall expectations with storm evolution as 30-40 knots of
effective bulk shear per SPC mesoanalysis will promote organized
multicellular to possibly supercellular thunderstorms.

Environmental conditions remain favorable for the development of
large hail as mid-level cooling resulting from the passage of an
upper trough axis results in lapse rates steepening to 7-8 C/km
this evening with forecast soundings advertising wet bulb zero
heights around 8500 feet. (Heights between 7000 and 11000 feet are
usually good indicators of large hail development, assuming other
environmental conditions are also favorable for strong
convection.) These steep mid-level lapse rates will also promote
strong momentum transport, allowing for a damaging wind threat to
materialize as well. While hail and damaging winds will remain the
primary threats, afternoon surface analysis does show an area of
surface convergence or a possible warm frontal boundary along the
Highway 59 corridor. Updrafts along this boundary may be able to
ingest enough horizontal vorticity to promote a brief tornado or
two, especially as surface winds south of the boundary back
towards the southeast by late afternoon.

With regards to a heavy rain threat, thunderstorms near the
Victoria Crossroads this afternoon have produced an estimated
1-1.5 inches of rain and stronger cells will be able to produce
similar 1-2 inch amounts as they move across Southeast Texas
through this evening. Flow is not uniform and storm motion will be
very quick, but repeated development along the Highway 59 boundary
will need to be monitored for producing locally higher rainfall
amounts and minor flooding issues. Overall, expect thunderstorms
to gradually increase in coverage through the remainder of the
afternoon with scattered to numerous thunderstorms shifting east
of the region after midnight tonight. Patchy fog development is
expected again after midnight, with fog lingering into mid-morning
Saturday.

A second disturbance will dive across Texas from California on
Saturday, resulting in the development in a surface cyclone on the
Southern Plains. Showers and a few thunderstorms will be possible
mainly north of Interstate 10 during the day Saturday with
increasing lift from the upper disturbance overspreading Central
and East Texas. The departure of the upper disturbance Saturday
night will drag the surface cyclone and an associated Pacific cold
front eastward, with much drier air, an end to rain chances for a
few days, and increasing winds expected behind the front by Sunday
morning. Gradient winds behind the front will result in 20-30 MPH
northwest winds across the region on Sunday with stronger winds
30-35 MPH along the coast. Wind gusts may exceed 40 MPH Sunday
morning and afternoon and Wind Advisories will likely be needed.

Dry conditions with temperatures in the mid 60s to mid 70s are
expected Monday and Tuesday next week, with a weak cold front by
mid-week bringing near seasonal temperatures (highs in the lower
60s, lows in the lower 40s) and a chance for some light rain.
