AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX 1037 AM CDT WED JUN 13 2007 .DISCUSSION... MORNING ANALYSIS SHOWS A THIN RIBBON OF UPPER LEVEL RIDGING ACROSS SE TX THIS MORNING IN BETWEEN TWO UPPER LOWS...ONE ENTERING THE SRN PLAINS AND THE OTHER OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES. A WEAK SFC BOUNDARY WAS LOCATED ALONG THE SABINE RIVER. ABUNDANT MOISTURE PRESENT OVER OUR ERN COUNTIES THIS MORNING. GOES SOUNDER IMAGERY SHOWS PWS OF 1.8-2.0 INCHES IN THIS AREA...WITH 850 MB DEWPOINTS OF 14-16C. SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR LOCATED OVER OUR WRN THIRD WHERE PWS ARE 1.4-1.6 INCHES. MODEL FCST SOUNDINGS SHOW VIRTUALLY NO CAPPING IN PLACE TODAY WITH CONVECTIVE TEMPS AROUND 90. EXPECT TO SEE SCATTERED TSRA DEVELOP IN ASSOCIATION WITH BOUNDARY OVER EAST TX THIS AFTN...WITH ADDITIONAL SCATTERED CONVECTION DEVELOPING ALONG THE SEABREEZE. HAVE BUMPED POPS UP TO 40 PCT OVER THE FAR ERN ZONES...AND EXPANDED THE 30 POPS A BIT FURTHER WEST. LACK OF CLOUD COVER ALLOWING TEMPS TO WARM QUICKLY AND MAX TEMPS SHOULD BE PRETTY CLOSE TO YESTERDAYS LEVELS. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 620 AM CDT WED JUN 13 2007/ AVIATION... MAINLY VFR THIS MORNING. CXO/LBX MAY FLIRT WITH MVFR CONDITIONS WITH SOME PATCHY FOG. GFS/NAM FCST SOUNDINGS LOOK RATHER ROBUST FOR LATER THIS AFTERNOON. WITH CONVECTIVE TEMPS BETWEEN 88-91 DEGREES...THINK TSRA WILL DEVELOP MAINLY ALONG AND EAST OF A MADISONVILE TO HOUSTON TO GALVESTON LINE. MAINLY VFR OVERNIGHT. 43 DISCUSSION... UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER SE TX SHOULD FINALLY WEAKEN LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. STILL SHOULD SEE HIGH TEMPS IN THE MID 90S ACROSS THE AREA WITH A LITTLE BETTER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. WEAK BACK DOOR FRONT IS LOOKING LESS LIKELY TO PUSH INTO E TX SO WILL ONLY GO WITH MODEST POPS FOR TODAY...MAINLY 20 TO 30 PERCENT E OF I-45. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND 00Z UPPER AIR ANALYSES SHOW THE UPPER RIDGE IS BEING STRETCHED WITH AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PULLING OUT OF SE COLORADO. EXPECT THIS TROUGH TO BE THE MAIN WEATHER MATTER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND INTO THE WEEKEND. BEST QG FORCING WITH THE TROUGH LOOKS TO BE OVER MUCH OF N TX AND NE TX. EXPECT THE FORCING TO SHIFT MORE INTO SE TX ON FRIDAY. WILL GO WITH HIGHER 40 PERCENT POPS ON FRI TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. MODELS ALSO SHOW DRIER AIR ADVECTING INTO SE TX AT 850MB WHICH MAY HINDER THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. PRECIP WATER ALSO DECREASES FROM 1.8-2 INCH RANGE TO LESS THAN 1.5. BACKED OFF POPS SOME ON SAT FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AS IT SEEMS THERE WILL BE LESS MOISTURE TO WORK WITH WHICH MAY ALLOW FOR THE CAP TO HOLD. SUNDAYS FORECAST HAS BECOME A BIT MORE COMPLICATED. UPPER LEVEL TROUGH STILL LINGERING IN THE RED RIVER REGION BUT GFS HINTS AT AN INFLUX OF TROPICAL MOISTURE BEGINNING SUN THROUGH MON. PRECIP WATER INCREASES BACK INTO THE 1.8-2 INCH RANGE WITH A BAND OF TROPICAL SHOWERS POSSIBLE. THIS MOISTURE SHIFTS A LITTLE TO THE EAST ON MON AND TUE AHEAD OF A FAIRLY STRONG TROUGH IN THE CENTRAL PLAINS. LOW LEVEL FLOW BECOMES A BIT MORE VEERED ON TUE BUT WILL STILL HOLD ONTO A SLIGHT CHANCE OF TSRA. GFS BRINGS A COLD FRONT INTO THE AREA LATE TUE INTO WED. SEEMS THIS HAS BEEN DELAYED FROM PREVIOUS RUNS. ECMWF SEEMS TO BE A BIT MORE PROGRESSIVE THAN THE GFS WITH THE FRONT PUSHING INTO THE AREA SOMETIME TUE. GIVEN QUITE OF BIT OF DISCREPANCY BETWEEN FORECAST MODELS...WILL CONTINUE LAST FORECAST PACKAGE TREND OF ONLY 20 POPS FOR THE AREA. WILL KEEP TEMPS BACK ON THE WARM SIDE WITH SW LOW LEVEL FLOW. THINKING IS THAT THE FRONT WILL MOST LIKELY NOT MAKE IT TO SE TX...BUT WILL LARGELY DEPEND UPON THE AIRMASS AND JET STREAM SUPPORT. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
