AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX 337 AM CDT SAT JUN 17 2006 .DISCUSSION... CONTINUING TO SEE SCT SHWRS DEVELOP AREAWIDE TONIGHT OVER SE TX GIVEN THE VERY MOIST AND ALSO UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE IN PLACE. THIS WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY...WITH ACTIVITY INCREASING DURING THE MORNING WITH SOME HEATING AND AN APPROACHING SHRT WV FROM THE WEST. THE MAIN FCST CHALLENGE CONTINUES TO BE THE CHC OF RAIN AND THREAT OF LOCALLY HVY RAINFALL. MADE A FEW CHGS TO THE EXISTING PACKAGE CONCERNING THE POPS. WILL HAVE LIKELY POPS AREAWIDE TODAY...WITH A SLIGHTLY BETTER CHC ACROSS THE NORTH. THE APPROACHING SHRT WV WILL MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN INCREASING CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT AND/OR PROPAGATION OF THE ONGOING ACTIVITY WEST OF SE TX INTO THE NW ZONES. STILL A THREAT OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL TODAY DUE TO TRAINING AND WILL MENTION THIS POSSIBILITY IN THE ZONES AND HWO. THERE IS LIKELY TO BE SOMEWHAT OF A LULL IN SHWR/TSTM ACTIVITY THIS EVE. HOWEVER...THINK AN MCS IS LIKELY TO PROPAGATE E-SE FROM NORTH-CENTRAL TX INTO SE TX AFT MIDNIGHT AS THE MAIN UPPER TROF AXIS SHIFTS EAST AND MOVES ACROSS SE TX DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ON SUN. WILL THEREFORE RAISE POPS TO LIKELY ACROSS THE NORTH LATE TONIGHT AND TAPER DOWNWARD TOWARD THE COAST. MAY HAVE A SVR WX THREAT OVERNIGHT IF THE MCS MAINTAINS ITS INTENSITY...BUT PREFER TO LET FUTURE SHIFTS MAKE THIS CALL...AS IT IS VERY UNCERTAIN ATTM. MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES FROM SAT NIGHT CONVECTION WILL PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN SUNDAYS CONVECTIVE PATTERN....BUT IN GENERAL EXPECT LESS ACTIVITY THAN TODAY AS THE LEADING EDGE OF UPPER TROF WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA. 00Z MODEL SOLNS STALL WHAT IS LEFT OF THE UPPER TROF JUST EAST OF SE TX ON MONDAY WITH A WEAK LOW OR SHEAR AXIS GRADUALLY RETROGRADING BACK INTO THE AREA ON TUE AND WED OF NEXT WEEK. SO...WE COULD SEE RAIN CHCS GO UP A LITTLE AROUND MID-WEEK IF THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS AND THE LOW MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. DECIDED TO NUDGE THE POPS UP A LITTLE IN THE EXTENDED TO FOLLOW THE 00Z GFS AT THAT TIME FRAME. 33 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
