.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 330 PM CDT Fri Apr 24 2020/

SHORT TERM [Tonight through Saturday]...

Skies are sunny across all of Southeast Texas so far today with mid-
afternoon temperatures ranging from around 90 degrees at several
inland locations to the low 80s at the coast (today's record highs
are 93 at CLL, 92 at IAH, 90 at HOU and 87 at GLS). South winds have
been generally around 10 to 15 mph and occasionally gusty. We are
waiting for possible shower and thunderstorm development near and
to the north of our far northern counties along and ahead of an
approaching cold front late this afternoon through early this
evening. If we do see activity develop, there will be some potential
for strong to severe thunderstorms where instability and lift are
greatest. Latest model runs appear to be getting a little less
supportive of this happening than they were this morning, but we'll
have to keep an eye on how everything unfolds. The passage of the
front this evening and on through the overnight hours will cool us
back down a little bit, and some of our north and northwest spots
are expected to have temperatures bottom out in the upper 50s. Besides
cooling us back down (highs on Saturday in the upper 70s to mid 80s
compared to today's upper 80s to 90ish), this front will help to keep
the Gulf of Mexico smoke/haze from reaching our area...for now. 42

LONG TERM [Saturday Night through Friday]...

For the rest of the weekend, benign weather will continue as high
pressure dominates the local weather pattern. Southeast Texas will
experience low temperatures dipping into the 50s and 60s Saturday
night. On Sunday, look for mostly sunny skies with temperatures
generally in the low 80s Sunday afternoon.

Early next week, a change in the weather pattern will begin as high
pressure shifts east, southerly wind flow returns, and another cold
front moves across Southeast Texas. Low level moisture transport
will begin shortly after sunrise Monday, raising PWATs up to around
1.3 inches by Monday night. This will increase cloud coverage over
the area, but rain activity is not expected. Temperatures will be
warming up Monday and Tuesday, and several areas west of I-45 will
experience highs in upper 80s Monday afternoon and up to 90 degrees
on Tuesday afternoon. An upper level a shortwave will move over the
area, as PWATs continue to increase up to around 1.7 inches. This
will increase rain chances throughout the day. An upper level trough
will sharpen as its moves eastward into the western Great Lakes
region Tuesday night into Wednesday. This feature will help push a
surface cold front across the region sometime late Tuesday into
Wednesday, increasing shower and thunderstorm development and
coverage over the local area. By Wednesday evening, conditions
improve as high pressure builds after the FROPA. Benign weather can
be expected Thursday and Friday. 24

MARINE...

Southeast winds that have returned to the area could strengthen to near
caution levels this evening before the next cold front moves on through
late tonight through early tomorrow morning. Mainly moderate north to
northeast winds can be expected to develop behind the front. Onshore
winds will return to the area and strengthen for the start of next
week. Another cold front could move through the area on Wednesday or
Wednesday night.  42
