River Flood Warning 55, NWS Houston/Galveston, TX

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
354 AM CDT Thu Oct 25 2018

.DISCUSSION...
Any lingering rain from yesterday's storm system will move
off to the east and out of our area this morning. Clouds
are expected to linger around for most of the area during
the day, and this in combination with northwest winds will
help to keep today's highs some 5 to 10 degrees below normal.
Still looking at a quiet end of the week and weekend with
surface high pressure in/around the area. Expect to see
highs warm into the 80s over the weekend with light southwest
to west winds in place. A Sunday night thru Monday morning
cold front will help to bring the highs back down a little at
the start of next week, but warming temperatures can be
expected beginning on Tuesday as high pressure moves off to
the east and an onshore flow sets up. With the warmer
temperatures comes our next rain chances on Wednesday and
Thursday as the next system and associated front moves
eastward across the state.  42

.MARINE...
Observed water levels are still running ~3.3ft MLLW along the upper
Tx coast. These levels will produce minor overwash on the Highway
87/124 intersection so will go w/ beach hazard statement to
incorporate water levels & rip currents until 7am which should get
us thru the next high tide cycle (~4am). Improving conditions and
lowering surf can be expected thereafter w/ nw flow in place. NW
winds should begin picking up to around 15 kt this morning. Moderate
NNW/NW flow will persist into Fri night as high pressure builds into
the region. May need the caution flags at times. Otherwise, gradient
weakens and winds/seas further diminish this weekend as the high
makes its way into the NW Gulf. Increasing onshore winds and
building seas can be expected early/mid next week. 47

.AVIATION...
LIFR/IFR ceilings should persist into the mid morning hours until we
start seeing some very slow improvement through the day. Clouds
should scatter out and conditions trend toward VFR late in the
afternoon. Though a drier airmass will be filtering in...we'll need
to watch the possibility for some patchy shallow fog development
considering clearing skies and wet ground in place. 47
