Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
338 PM CDT Wed Jun 2 2021

.SHORT TERM [Through Thursday Night]

Convective temperatures have been met and showers and thunderstorms
have begun to develop across SE TX. Some training of storms has also
developed and some locally heavy rainfall totals will be possible
through this evening. The HRR continues to insist that shra/tsra
will will focus along a weak boundary/wind shift that is anchored
over the central zones while the HiRes NSSL focus precip over the
southern zones. The 18z HRRR initialized well bu the NSSL has
verified better as of late. Will compromise between the two models as
both could be correct as there is some low level convergence along
the central CWA boundary as suggested by the HRRR and and also along
the developing sea breeze as suggested by the NSSL. SE TX also will
lie in a weak RRQ this evening and this feature will also help to
enhance lift. Colliding boundaries between the weak front and the
sea breeze could allow for a burst of heavier convection this
evening and have added locally heavy rain to the wx grids through
03z in case that situation unfolds. Colliding boundaries can also
lead to storm intensification and a brief pulse strong to severe
storm can not be ruled out. Damaging winds, brief funnel clouds and
small hail are the most likely severe weather hazard and SPC has
placed much of SE TX in a Marginal Risk for strong storms tonight.
With sfc dew points above 70, MinT values will remain on the warm
side and will probably stay in the lower 70s except in some rain
cooled locations.

On Thursday, a short wave will approach SE TX by late morning. There
should be an expanding area of showers and storms Thursday morning
as this feature approaches. Jet dynamics still look somewhat
favorable on Thursday as 300 mb winds gently split over SE TX.
Moisture levels will remain robust with PW values near 2.00 inches.
Storm motion looks a tad slower on Thursday as well so once again
there will be some potential for locally heavy rain. There will be
more cloud cover on Thursday and precip should be a bit more
widespread so will trim MaxT values by a few degrees from today's
values. Despite the risk for locally heavy rain tonight and again
Thursday, will once again forgo a Flash Flood Watch until there is a
better signal for more widespread rainfall and an organized flash
flood threat.

Rain chances should decrease but not completely end on Thursday night
in the wake of the initial short wave. However a second short wave
will be approaching late Thursday night and showers and
thunderstorms will likely be on the increase prior to sunrise
Friday. 43

.LONG TERM [Friday Through Wednesday]...

Environmental conditions look to become more favorable for a
multi-day active weather pattern Friday through the upcoming
weekend, possibly extending into early next week. This will
ultimately increase the risk for potential flooding across
portions of SE Texas.

To start, an upper level low will be located over Northern Mexico
and Western TX Friday with the elongated associated trough
extending northeastward well into the Great Lakes region. As high
pressure builds over Western CONUS, the top region of the trough
over the Great Lakes will continue eastward, while the upper low
and the base of the trough remains almost stationary over Northern
Mexico and Western TX. The upper low closes by late Friday and
remains meandering over most of Texas during the weekend...which
brings an upper level jet close or over the CWA (possible
diffluence to occur) favoring storm development. In addition, a
few mid to upper level disturbances will be swinging along the
base of the trough and move across SE Texas. On top of all of
this, we are looking at very good low level moisture transport
with the southerly flow increasing PWs between 1.8 to 2.1 inches
areawide, possibly resulting in long periods of heavy rainfall,
particularly on Saturday. Now moisture does ebb a bit on Sunday
with PWs down to 1.5 to 1.7 inches, however, it may still be
sufficient for a few more rounds of showers and thunderstorms to
occur given that we'll have the upper low/trough moving closer
into Southeast TX. Global models weaken the trough early next week
but PWs bounce back to around 1.8 to 2.1 inches Monday and
Tuesday, enough to maintain additional periods of rain. Thus, we
are looking at good chances for rain to fall over our area Friday
through early next week.

WPC is forecasting QPF amounts of 4 to 7 inches of total rainfall
amounts during the next 7 days, with the heavier totals to occur
Saturday through Monday. Considering the spectrum of expected
rainfall amounts, along with the fact that we still have fairly
wet soils lurking across portions of the CWA and water levels
running high in a few of our rivers, this next episode of active
weather could result in some flooding issues. Flash Flood Watches
may be issued later this week, stay alert and prepared in case one
is issued for your area. High pressure trying to start building
sometime mid to late next week, means lower rainfall chances -
hopefully it builds giving us a break from the stormy weather.

High temperatures each day will be in the low to mid 80s through
early next week, increasing a few degrees by midweek, and low
temperatures will generally be in the upper 60s to low 70s inland,
mid 70s along the coasts.

-- Given it's the long term period, changes to the forecast could
   occur, although at this time, most models are in fairly good
   agreement with the long term synoptic pattern.

.MARINE...

Light winds will continue through the end of the work week across
the bays and waters along with seas of 1-3 feet. Winds increase
Friday into the upcoming weekend possibly reaching the Caution
threshold. Seas build to 4-6 feet by late Sunday into Tuesday.
Chance of showers and thunderstorms can be expected each day
Thursday through early next week, with the heaviest activity
expected to occur Friday through Sunday. Tides levels may also
increase Sunday into early next week.

For those planning to visit the beaches this weekend, strong rip
currents could occur across the Gulf facing beaches. Make sure to
monitor the local beach advisories.
