NWS Houston/Galveston, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 9, 9:45 AM CST, 3 hours 34 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX 1045 AM CDT TUE AUG 9 2005 .DISCUSSION... MCS IS PROGRESSING INTO OUR NW ZONES. MORNING ANALYSIS SHOWS DEEP MOISTURE REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS SE TX...WITH PWS 1.9 TO 2 INCHES ACROSS THE AREA AND 850 MB DEWPOINTS OF +12 TO +14C. THE DEEPEST MOISTURE IS LOCATED ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA. 12Z 300 MB CHART SHOWED SOME DIFLUENCE OVER SE TX BUT IT WAS RATHER WEAK. MSAS ANALYSIS SHOWS AN AREA OF HIGHER PRESSURE RISES AND A WEAK COLD POOL ASSOCIATED WITH CENTRAL TEXAS MCS. THINK THIS WILL PROVIDE THE FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL TSRA DEVELOPMENT ACROSS SE TX THIS AFTN IN UNCAPPED MOIST ATMOSPHERE. OVERALL ONLY WEAK LOW LEVEL FOCUSING PRESENT SO DONT REALLY SEE ONE AREA FAVORED OVER ANOTHER FOR HEAVY RAINFALL...AND LESS CONCERNED ABOUT ORGANIZED CONVECTION THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. WILL MAINTAIN LIKELY POPS FOR THIS AFTN CENTRAL/NRN ZONES...AND KEEP MENTION OF HEAVY RAINFALL. HOWEVER...WILL HOLD OFF ON ISSUANCE OF FLOOD WATCH. WILL REISSUE HWOHGX...STRESSING THAT MOST AREAS WILL SEE 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL BUT WITH LOCALIZED 2 TO 4 INCH AMOUNTS EXPECTED. SOME MINOR FLOODING PROBLEMS WILL BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE HEAVY RAINFALL THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. 35/42 && .PREV DISCUSSION... MID LEVEL TROUGH WITH EMBEDDED MOSTLY CONVECTIVELY INDUCED MINOR SWIRLS ORIENTED WEST TO EAST ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL AND CENTRAL TEXAS THIS MORNING. ALTHOUGH MODELS DIFFER ON THE MINOR FEATURES THEY ARE REASONABLY IN AGREEMENT ON STEADY SOUTHWARD DRIFT OF MAIN AXIS TODAY. ONGOING CONVECTION ATTESTS TO INSTABILITY AND SUFFICIENT LIFT. PWS ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING 1.8 TO 2.0 OVER CWA AND ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE SOME THROUGHOUT THE DAY. RELATIVELY CLOUD FREE PRE DAWN SOUTHEAST OF US 59 INTO THE COASTAL WATERS MUCH LIKE YESTERDAY. EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO FIRE EARLY AND OFTEN IN THE THIS SAME AREA WITH CONVECTIVE TEMP 86-88 DEGREES. WITH ADDED FOCUS PROVIDED BY UPPER SYSTEM WE FEEL ORGANIZED CLUSTER/MCS LIKELY IN OUR CWA DURING AFTERNOON HOURS. DEPENDING ON WHERE THIS LIGHTS UP AND HOW BOUNDARIES EVOLVE...WE SHOULD SEE MORE WIDESPREAD LOCAL FLOOD PROBLEMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO EVENING THAN WE HAVE OBSERVED PAST SEVERAL DAYS. WILL GO LIKELY POPS AREAWIDE AND CARRY THE HEAVY RAINFALL BUZZ WORDS. WILL HOLD OFF ON FLASH FLOOD WATCH AND ALLOW DAY SHIFT TO DIAGNOSE THE NEED DEPENDING ON EARLY MORNING DEVELOPMENTS. WEDNESDAY LIKELY TO SEE ABOVE CLIMO THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE AGAIN AS MID LEVEL FEATURE SHOULD STILL BE A PLAYER AND HIGH PWS STILL IN PLACE. MAIN UNCERTAINTY IS HOW MUCH REARRANGING OF THE FLOW WILL THE CONVECTION TODAY PRODUCES. WILL KEEP GOOD CHANCE POPS ACCORDINGLY. THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...MODELS SHOW MID LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING WESTWARD ACROSS GULF COAST AND GUFFMEX INTO OUR AREA. IF THIS HAPPENS ON SCHEDULE MUCH LOWER PW AIR POISED TO SOUTH WILL OVERSPREAD ALONG WITH GENTLE SUBSIDENCE. NOT SURE WHY GFS IS ENAMORED WITH HIGHER POPS BY THE WEEKEND AS RIDGE ORIENTATION NOT CHANGING AND NO DISCERNABLE TROPICAL WAVE OR OTHER FOCUS EVIDENT TO ME IN THE DATA. MAYBE BECAUSE THIS MIC WANTS TO PLAY GOLF BUT MORE LIKELY A CLIMATOLOGICAL TUG STATISTICALLY. WE WILL STICK WITH 20 PERCENT FOR THE DAYTIME HEATING SEA BREEZE CONVECTION THROUGH THE DAY 3-7 FORECAST. TEMPS AND WINDS NOT FAR FROM CLIMO WITH ONSHORE FLOW REGIME. MARINE... WEAK GRADIENT IN PLACE WILL LEAD TO CONTINUED LIGHT WINDS AND LOW SEAS. WILL FCST SLIGHTLY HIGHER ONSHORE WINDS TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK AS PRESSURES FALL ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. AVIATION... PATCHY MVFR FOG THIS MORNING...POSSIBLY A FEW HOURS OF IFR AT LBX. SHAPING UP TO BE ANOTHER ACTIVE WX DAY WITH DEEP MOISTURE STILL IN PLACE. WILL BE DIFFICULT TO PICK JUST WHERE CONVECTION WILL FIRE BUT CONFIDENCE IT WILL EVENTUALLY DO SO IS FAIRLY HIGH. STILL SOME LINGERING BOUNDARIES AROUND THAT COULD FOCUS TSTMS. WILL INITIALLY BE WATCHING THE MATAGORDA BAY AREA AND UP TOWARD INTERSTATE 10 FOR DEVELOPMENT ALONG AN OLD BOUNDARY THIS MORNING. PRECIP COULD EVENTUALLY SPREAD UP TOWARD THE METRO AREA BY LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE...LOOK FOR INCREASING PRECIP COVERAGE AREAWIDE ONCE TEMPS WARM INTO THE UPPER 80S. SLOW STORM MOTIONS EXPECTED...SO AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN A DECENT BET. ACTIVITY SHOULD DIMINISH TOWARD LATE EVENING JUST AS IT HAS DONE FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. 30/47 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
