AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
950 AM CDT THU JUN 1 2006
.DISCUSSION...
WEAK UPPER LOW REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY IN THE CRP-VCT AREA THIS
MORNING. LARGE MCS ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER LOW HAS BEEN AFFECTING
JACKSON AND MATAGORDA COUNTIES WHERE 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL HAS
OCCURRED IN SOME SPOTS. THE REST OF SE TX HAS GENERALLY REMAINED DRY
OVERNIGHT/THIS MORNING...BUT KHGX RADAR INDICATES SCATTERED
CONVECTION DEVELOPING FROM GALVESTON AND HIGH ISLAND OFFSHORE.
EXPECTING THIS ACTIVITY TO SPREAD INLAND OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND
BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD...WITH CONVECTION FILLING IN BETWEEN THIS
ACTIVITY AND THE MCS FURTHER WEST. ADDITIONAL HEATING TODAY (VS THE
LAST COUPLE OF DAYS) WILL AID IN THE CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. EXPECTING
OVERALL RAINFALL AMOUNTS TO AVERAGE 1/2 TO 1 INCH THROUGH 12Z
FRIDAY...BUT ISOLATED 3 TO 5 INCH AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED. PRIMARY
CONCERN IS OVER JACKSON/MATAGORDA COUNTIES IN CLOSEST PROXIMITY TO
UPPER LOW. WILL KEEP FFA GOING UNTIL 21Z...HOWEVER WILL TRIM A FEW
COUNTIES OUT OF THE WATCH. WILL REMOVE COLORADO...AUSTIN...WALLER
WHICH HAVE NOT SEEN AS MUCH RAIN THE LAST FEW DAYS...AND WILL REMOVE
LIBERTY AND MONTGOMERY AS THREAT OF HEAVIEST RAIN HAS SHIFTED WEST OF
THERE. WILL REASSESS THE FFA AGAIN AT 21Z.

.PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 446 AM CDT THU JUN 1 2006)
DISCUSSION...
THE WEAK UPPER LOW WAS STILL PESTERING SE TX THIS MORNING...BUT
THE MAIN RAINFALL AREA HAS SHIFTED TO THE SOUTHWEST SINCE TWENTY-
FOUR HOURS AGO. THE MAIN FOCUS FOR TODAY WILL STILL BE THE HEAVY
RAINFALL POSSIBILITIES. THE GFS LOOKED SUSPECT IN THAT IT HAS SOME
BAD CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK PROBLEMS OVER THE EASTERN COUNTIES TODAY
AND OVER THE GULF LATER TODAY INTO TONIGHT. FEEL THE ETA HAD A
BETTER HANDLE ON THE SITUATION.
CONCERNING THE FLOOD WATCH...FEEL THAT THE MAIN FOCUS FOR THE
HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE MORE OVER THE MID TX COASTAL AREAS AND THE
SOUTHWESTERN AREAS OF THE HGX COUNTY WARNING AREA...I.E. THOSE
LOCATIONS SOUTHWEST OF A LINE FROM COLUMBUS TO FREEPORT. KEPT THE
FLOOD WATCH UP THROUGH 15Z FOR THE SOUTHERN TWO THIRDS OF THE
AREA...HOWEVER FEEL THAT A LOOK AT THE RAINFALL DEVELOPMENT OVER
THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS WILL BE NEEDED BEFORE DOING ANY
ADJUSTMENTS. IF NONE ARE MADE AT 12Z...WILL LET THE DAY SHIFT
REASSESS THE SITUATION.
ON FRIDAY A WEAK FRONT OR WIND SHIFT MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. FEEL
THAT RAIN CHANCES WILL DIMINISH TONIGHT...THEN GO BACK UP A BIT
AHEAD OF THE FRONT...BEFORE THE DRIER AIR REALLY MOVES BACK INTO
SE TX WITH A VENGEANCE. THE PATTERN OVER THE NEXT WEEK BECOMES A
MUCH WARMER AND DRIER ONE FOR THE AREA.
