AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX 237 PM CDT SAT JUL 22 2006 .DISCUSSION... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEGUN TO DEVELOP ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS WHERE INSTABILITY IS GREATEST AND MID TO UPPER 90 DEGREE CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN REACHED. THIS AREA IS AHEAD OF A SLOWLY SAGGING SUMMER COLD FRONT THAT SHOULD CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHWARD AND INTO OUR AREA TONIGHT. STILL THINK CURRENT ACTIVITY WILL DEVELOP/SPREAD FURTHER SOUTHWARD AS THE REMAINING AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS PROGRESS. WILL KEEP MENTION OF SEVERE AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IN THE ZONES FOR OUR CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN COUNTIES THIS EVENING. MODELS INDICATE SOME DRIER AIR FILTERING INTO THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS OVERNIGHT ON LIGHT NORTH TO NORTHEAST SURFACE WINDS. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REMAIN HIGH (> 2 INCHES) CENTRAL AND SOUTH....AND THIS IS WHERE THE BEST CHANCE FOR SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL EXIST TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. AS THE NEW WEEK BEGINS...SOUTHEAST TEXAS WILL BE SITUATED BETWEEN UPPER RIDGES SITUATED TO OUR WEST AND NORTHWEST AND ALSO TO OUR EAST AND SOUTHEAST. THIS POSITIONING IS EXPECTED TO ALLOW FOR A SURGE OF DEEPER TROPICAL MOISTURE TO MOVE INTO THE AREA RESULTING IN HIGHER RAIN CHANCES FOR BOTH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. EXACT TIMING AND ALIGNMENT OF THIS MOISTURE SURGE WILL BECOME A FACTOR AS TO WHEN AND WHERE OUR HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES WILL EXIST. 12Z GFSX MOS POPS ARE NOW IN THE 60S AND 70S. THINK IT IS TOO EARLY TO JUMP ON THESE HIGH NUMBERS...SO WILL GO WITH 50S FOR NOW. MODELS ARE STILL INDICATING UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILDING ACROSS THE AREA TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK. LOWER RAIN CHANCES AND WARMING TEMPERATURES ALREADY IN THE GRIDS LOOK GOOD. 42 && .MARINE... FLAT PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL PERSIST OVER THE WATERS THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT AS WEAK FRONT STALLS ACROSS CENTRAL/EAST TEXAS. THIS WILL KEEP WINDS VARIABLE IN DIRECTION AND VERY LIGHT WITH SPEEDS RUNNING LESS THAN 10 KNOTS. MORE NOTICEABLE WILL BE THE INCREASE IN CONVECTIVE COVERAGE STARTING ON SUNDAY WITH SCATTERED TSRA EXPECTED OVER THE WATERS EACH DAY FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. LOCALLY HIGHER SEAS/GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE IN/NEAR TSRA. ONSHORE FLOW WILL BEGIN TO STRENGTHEN MONDAY/TUESDAY AS LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OVER THE PLAINS. COULD SEE WINDS BRIEFLY REACH SCEC CRITERIA MAINLY OVER THE 20 TO 60 NM WATERS DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIODS NEXT WEEK. 35 && .AVIATION... SCATTERED TSRA DEVELOPING ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF SE TX THIS HOUR. THESE STORMS WILL IMPACT PRIMARILY KCLL...KIAH...AND KHOU IN THE 20Z TO 01Z TIME FRAME. LESS CONFIDENT ON THIS ACTIVITY PUSHING FURTHER SOUTH SO WILL KEEP OUT MENTION OF THUNDER FOR THE KLBX/KGLS TAFS. LOCALLY STRONG WIND GUSTS POSSIBLE WITH THIS ACTIVITY AND WILL AMEND TAFS AS NECESSARY. EXPECTING MOST OF THIS CONVECTION TO DIMINISH SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET WITH A BREAK FOR MOST OF THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. MODEL FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW LOWER CONVECTIVE TEMPS ON SUNDAY...ONLY MID 80S ACROSS ENTIRE AREA. BOTH GFS/NAM HAVE PRECIP DEVELOPING ACROSS AREA LATE TONIGHT AND PERSISTING THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING AND HAVE INDICATED THIS IN TAFS. 35 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
