Area Forecast Discussion

.DISCUSSION...
Radar has been quiet for the last couple of hours, however there
are a few cells that have popped up in the western half of our
area within the hour. None of these are severe, but the potential
for severe thunderstorms in the area is still possible.

Patchy fog is expected to develop very early tomorrow morning and
burn off by late morning. Showers and thunderstorms are again
expected along the stalled front. This begins to taper off as
another trough pushes it out of the area on Wednesday.

Concerns for flooding continue, however an FF.A will not be
issued at this time. It will be reevaluated later tonight and
again tomorrow.

.Long Term (Thursday through Monday)...

Not much has changed from the thinking from yesterday:

The front gets a push to the south finally Wednesday night and
Thursday with lingering showers possible Thursday morning before
drier weather and briefly cooler temperatures especially at night
move into the area in the wake of the front.

Guidance still indicates return flow starting Saturday with a risk
of showers and thunderstorms returning Sunday but the guidance is
rather muddled on this right now and will keep pops on the low side
for now with slightly better chance for showers and thunderstorms on
Monday.

.MARINE...
A weak and stalled front will remain over land until it is pushed
over the gulf on Wednesday into Thursday. Offshore flow will begin
in the wake of this, and continue until Friday.
