SOUTHEAST TEXAS FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
249 PM CDT TUE JUN 10 2003

WEAKENING IMPULSE MOVING THROUGH SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST TEXAS IS
GENERATING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MAINLY OUR COASTAL
COUNTIES. PARTIAL CLEARING LINE OUT WEST CONTINUES TO MAKE PROGRESS
TO THE EAST...AND EXPECT THIS LINE TO MAKE IT INTO THE AREA TONIGHT.
RAIN CHANCES OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WILL BE BASED ON DAYTIME
HEATING GENERATED STORMS AND ANYTHING THAT DEVELOPS OUT TO OUR WEST
AND NORTHWEST AND HEADS THIS WAY. DO NOT SEE ANY DISTINCT SHORTWAVE
THAT CLEARLY POINTS TOWARD HIGHER RAIN CHANCES DURING ANY SPECIFIC
PERIOD. EXPECT PRECIP WATER VALUES TO REMAIN HIGH (1.50 TO 2.00
INCHES) AND OUR AIRMASS TO REMAIN UNSTABLE ENOUGH FOR 20% TO 30%
RAIN CHANCES FOR THE ENTIRE PACKAGE. RIDGING ALOFT WILL REMAIN WELL
TO OUR SOUTH...AND MODEL TRENDS ACTUALLY POINT TOWARD TROF
DEVELOPMENT OVER THE WEEKEND. IF THIS MATERIALIZES...POPS WILL
EVENTUALLY NEED TO BE RAISED FOR THE WEEKEND. UNTIL THEN...EXPECT
OUR AREA TO HAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH
DAY WITH LOWS GENERALLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S INLAND AND AROUND 80
AT THE COAST...AND HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MID 90S INLAND AND UPPER
80S COAST. FOR THE 00-60 NM COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT...WILL HOIST SCEC
FLAGS.

GALVESTONS LOW THIS MORNING WAS 82 DEGREES. THE WARMEST OVERNIGHT
LOW TEMPERATURE ON THIS DATE IS 81 SET IN 1989. IF GALVESTON DOES
NOT DROP BELOW 81 BEFORE MIDNIGHT...A NEW RECORD HIGH MINIMUM
TEMPERATURE WILL BE SET.

AND SPEAKING OF GALVESTON...THE ANNUAL GALVESTON TOWN MEETING
(HURRICANE AWARENESS) IS THIS EVENING FROM 600 PM UNTIL 830 PM.
