AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
647 AM CDT SUN MAY 28 2006
.AVIATION...
AN INCREASE IN THE AREAL COVERAGE OF THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL OCCUR THROUGH MIDDAY. MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A PEAK AROUND
MIDDAY. CAN EXPECT WIND SPEEDS TO PICK UP A BIT AFTER SUNRISE.
TONIGHT...THE GUIDANCE ALSO SUGGESTS SOME LIGHT FOG WILL DEVELOP.
THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL LIKELY DEPEND ON THE AMOUNT OF RAINFALL TODAY.
PL-40
&&
.MARINE...
SCA CONDITIONS DUE TO WINDS WILL LIKELY DIMINISH AROUND MID MORNING.
PL-40
.PREV DISCUSSION...
WILL ISSUE AN UPDATE TO RAISE POPS TO LIKELY. COVERAGE HAS
CONTINUED TO INCREASED AND SOME OF THE RAINFALL TOTALS ARE
IMPRESSIVE. NEW ZONES OUT BY 645 AM. 43

.PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 243 AM CDT SUN MAY 28 2006)
DISCUSSION...
PWS ARE ALREADY UP TO 1.5 INCHES ACROSS THE REGION AND ARE
EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO BETWEEN 1.8 AND 1.9 INCHES THIS AFTERNOON.
CONVECTIVE TEMPS ARE IN THE LOWER AND MID 80S AND UPPER LEVEL
WINDS REMAIN DIVERGENT...SO WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TODAY. ONE CAVEAT...AND THAT IS THE MCS OVER CENTRAL
TEXAS HEADING EAST. IT IS UNCLEAR IF THIS FEATURE WILL LEAVE A
BOUNDARY ACROSS SE TX...OR IF IT WILL DISRUPT INFLOW OR LIMIT HIGH
TEMPS DUE TO THE THICK CIRRUS CANOPY. PREFER TO STAY WITH THE VERY
CONSISTENT GFS. NICE TO SEE THE NAM COME AROUND AND SUPPORT HIGHER
POPS. NOT MUCH CHANGE FOR MONDAY AS DEEP MOISTURE REMAINS IN
PLACE. UPPER LEVEL WINDS REMAIN DIVERGENT AND SHOULD BE A REPEAT
PERFORMANCE. THE GFS WANTS TO DRY THINGS OUT WED AND THUR...YET
FORECAST SOUNDINGS STILL SUPPORT SCATTERED ACTIVITY WITH K INDICES
IN THE MID 30S AND PWS AROUND 1.6 INCHES DROPPING TO AROUND AN
INCH BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THINK THE DRYING IS OVERDONE AND WILL
MAINTAIN POPS. GFS HAS BACKED OFF ON THE FRONT FOR FRIDAY AND IS
NOW STALLING THIS FEATURE NORTH OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS. PATTERN SHIFTS
A LITTLE NEXT WEEK AS AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDS INTO TEXAS FROM THE
WEST AND THEN AMPLIFIES NEXT WEEKEND WITH A NORTHWEST UPPER FLOW
DEVELOPING. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A NOCTURNAL MCS FORM AND
SCOOT SOUTHEAST LATE NEXT WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK. 43
