Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
734 AM CDT Sat May 1 2021

.AVIATION [12Z TAF Issuance]...
Heavy rainfall continues southwest of DWH to HOU to LBX. Ceilings
range from VFR over the northwestern counties to IFR closer in to
the heavy rain axis. Strong easterly winds on the back side of the
convection/shear axis over CLL with sustained winds 15-20kts
gusting to 30 kts.

Expect the line to impact the LBX/SGR/HOU/IAH/GLS terminals 12-16z
then weaken and scattered showers to take over. Next band of
storms should move in from the southwest late this afternoon 22z
through 05z. Strong easterly inflow into these storms is possible
and could have a period of strong easterly or southeast winds.
Current TAFs have not been elevated to that point except GLS where
confidence in the stronger winds is present. By around 09z expect
steady improvements in VISBY/precip but MVFR-VFR should prevail.
45

&&

.MARINE...
Stronger ENE-ESE winds on tap today and as the big band of storms
coming ashore Freeport slowly shifts east expect gusty winds in
the storms/very low visby in heavy rain. SCA in effect for the
western Gulf waters mid morning and SCEC elsewhere. Winds this
afternoon could be a stronger and the SCA may need to be adjusted
into the eastern waters. Seas of 3-5 feet early this morning
should be building throughout the day and into tonight with seas
flirting with SCA conditions as well.

Strong rip currents and could become unusually strong rip currents
this afternoon...these strong rips should continue well into
Sunday morning.

SSW winds take over Sunday morning and then back to the SE Sunday
night and weaken Monday. Seas will still be elevated with the
longer fetch that develops. Cold front pushes off the coast around
sunset Tuesday and SCEC/SCA conditions should occur overnight.

.PREV DISCUSSION /Issued 452 AM CDT Sat May 1 2021/...

.SHORT TERM [ Through Saturday Night]...

Widespread moderate to heavy rain and isolated thunderstorms will
continue to be the main concern over the next 12 to 24 hours.

Per latest water vapor satellite imagery, a broad upper-level low
is currently spinning just west of the Big Bend, TX. At the
surface, a coastal low continues to move over the Corpus Christi
area/Middle Coast, slowly moving northward into our region through
the day. The environment continues to be favorable for rainfall
early this morning. The warm front is almost stationary south of
Galveston to Victoria line, that, in combination with a strong
low-level frontogenesis maximized in the 925-825 mb layer, PWATs
near 2.0 inches and upper- level jet support; widespread rain will
continue to develop across the region. A constant weak low level
jet feed is also noted into the frontogenesis area; therefore, the
strongest rainfall rates continue to move across our
west/southwestern counties early this morning. Light rain are
expected across the entire region; however, the best focus for
moderate to heavy rain will be along and west of I-10 through late
morning. Additional rain totals of 1 to 3 inches will be
possible, locally higher. While instability looks limited (SBCAPE
<700 J/kg) due to extensive cloud cover, a few strong
thunderstorms cannot be ruled out given effective bulk shear in
the 30-45 knots range. The main focus for strong storms will be
south of a line from CLL to SGR to LBX with gusty winds as the
main threat.

As the day progresses, there could be a brief lull in
precipitation late this morning/early afternoon, mainly north of
I-10. The next round for moderate to heavy rain and isolated to
scattered thunderstorms arrives late this afternoon (between
22-00Z Sunday). Forcing and dynamics will be enhanced across the
region as the aforementioned upper low lifts northeastward into
eastern TX and the Lower MS Valley. Have leaned towards CAMS /Hi-
res models for PoPs for this period. Convection/showers will
gradually diminish from southwest to northeast by late
tonight/early Sunday morning.

Have continued with the Flash Flood Watch across much of the
region through 12Z Sunday. 05

.LONG TERM [Sunday Through Saturday]...

Drier conditions will gradually filter in on Sunday with some
lingering showers possible across our northeastern counties as the
sfc low and upper-low move out of the region. It will be warm as
southerly winds returns to the area during the afternoon hours.
Speaking of warm conditions, Monday is shaping up to be a very
warm day. 850 mb temperatures exceed the 90th percentile of NAEFS
guidance and southerly flow should bring highs in the upper 80s
and low 90s. Raised high temperatures toward the 75th percentile
of model guidance.

Another upper trough will moves into the southern Plains early
next week with a cold front passage Tuesday afternoon and evening.
Latest GFS, ECMWF and NAM continue in good agreement with this
system, brining the front by midday Tuesday and off the coast by
Tuesday evening. Scattered showers and storms are expected along
and ahead the front. With PWATs in the 2.0 inches, some locally
heavy rain cannot be ruled out. Drier weather returns by Wednesday
with an upper-ridge over the southern Plains.
