NWS Houston/Galveston, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 13, 11:18 AM CST, 0 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX 1218 PM CDT WED JUN 13 2012 .AVIATION... SHRA/TSRA CONCENTRATED ACROSS THE COASTAL COUNTIES AT 17Z SHOULD MOVE INLAND AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. CARRIED VCTS FOR MOST TAF SITES ON THE 18Z PACKAGE. COULD SEE SOME MVFR CEILINGS DEVELOP OVERNIGHT...THEN POSSIBLY SOME MORE SHRA/TSRA TOMORROW NEAR THE COAST IN THE MORNING AND INLAND DURING THE AFTERNOON. 42 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1030 AM CDT WED JUN 13 2012/ UPDATE... A WEAK TROUGH DRAPED ALONG THE COAST...WITH OFFSHORE SOUTHERLIES RUNNING INTO LIGHT INTERIOR EASTERLIES WITHIN A FAIRLY MOIST MARITIME ENVIRONMENT...IS MOST LIKELY THE IMPETUS TO THESE EARLY DAY COASTAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. CONVECTION EXISTS OVER COASTAL MATAGORDA AND BRAZORIA COUNTIES AND EXTENDS OUT OVER OUR CENTRAL MARINE ZONES. THE TIGHT CENTRAL TEXAS MCV THAT WAS BARRELING TOWARDS OUR NORTHWESTERN ZONES THIS MORNING HAS SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKENED BUT ITS REMNANTS MAY MAKE IT OUR CWA BY NOON. TODAY'S ATMOSPHERE IS PRIMED FOR LATTER DAY CONVECTION AND...AND WITH HIGHER MOISTURE (PWATS IN THE 1.5-1.7 INCH REALM)...WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED TO SEE A REOCCURRENCE OF LATE AFTERNOON INTO EVENING CONVECTION. RAPID REFRESH MODELING IS OF NO HELP SO...WITH POSSIBLE LINGERING SMALL SCALE BOUNDARIES LAYING ABOUT FROM YESTERDAY'S ACTIVITY...WILL KEEP AREAWIDE 20-30 POPS IN PLACE. WILL FOCUS HIGHER POPS OVER MORE CENTRAL AND EASTERN COUNTIES AS THEY ARE EXPERIENCING MORE CLEAR SKIES THIS MORNING...MORE OF A HEAD START ON ACHIEVING THOSE NEAR 90F CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES. 31 PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 437 AM CDT WED JUN 13 2012/ DISCUSSION... A NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WAS PRESENT OVER THE STATE EARLY THIS MORNING. A SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING ALONG THE FLOW WILL AFFECT SE TX LATER TODAY. A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL THEN BUILD OVER THE EASTERN PART OF THE STATE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. HOWEVER...AN UPPER TROUGH IS FORECASTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE NORTHERN GULF AND EXTEND TOWARD SE TX. THIS WEATHER PATTERN WILL HELP GENERATE CHANCES FOR AT LEAST ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE MAIN CHALLENGE FOR TODAY WILL BE THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE AND STRENGTH. THE MODEL SOUNDINGS DO FORECAST A SLIGHT CAP EARLY THIS MORNING...BUT THE CAP ERODES BY THE LATE MORNING. THE WEAK SURFACE FRONT WAS LOCATED WELL TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE AREA...AND SO ANY LOW-LEVEL FORCING WILL BE FROM THE SEABREEZE OR FROM OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. THE 00Z MODELS ALSO FORECAST A SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO MOVE OVERHEAD THIS AFTERNOON. EVEN THOUGH THE HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS WERE NOT FORECASTING MUCH COVERAGE...FELT THAT THE SUBSIDENCE CURRENTLY OVER THE AREA WILL MODIFY WITH HEATING. NOT VERY CERTAIN AS TO THE LOCATION...BUT ISOLATED STRONG STORMS ARE POSSIBLE WITH WIND BEING THE MAIN THREAT. RAIN CHANCES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK WILL BE MORE DRIVEN BY THE SEA BREEZE GIVEN THE BUILDING RIDGE IN THE VICINITY. FOR SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY OF THE UPCOMING WEEK...THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE HINTING THAT AN UPPER LOW MAY FORM OVER THE WESTERN GULF. AT THE VERY LEAST THE WEAK UPPER TROUGH FORECAST BY BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF WILL HELP ENHANCE RAIN CHANCES OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. 40 MARINE... LIGHT TO MODERATE ONSHORE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AND ON INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. WINDS WILL BACK TO EAST ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY BEFORE VEERING BACK TO THE SOUTHEAST EARLY NEXT WEEK. TIDE LEVELS MAY BECOME SLIGHTLY ELEVATED ON SUNDAY WITH THE EASTERLY FLOW. 43 CLIMATE...
