AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX 919 AM CDT SUN JUL 6 2014 .UPDATE... SEE DISCUSSION FOR MORNING UPDATE. && .DISCUSSION... NOT MUCH CHANGE IN PATTERN FROM YESTERDAY. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE FORMED OVER THE WATERS THIS MORNING AND HAVE STARTED TO MOVE INLAND. GFS AND NAM FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOWING PWATS AROUND 1.7" THIS AFTERNOON WITH K INDICES IN THE LOWER TO MID 30S. EXPECTING COVERAGE TO INCREASE OVER INLAND AREAS THIS AFTERNOON THANKS TO DAY TIME HEATING. HIGH RES HRRR AND TEXAS TECH WRF AGAIN SHOWING GREATEST CHANCES TOWARDS THE SOUTHWEST. GRANTED THEY HAVE NOT INITIALIZED GREAT. COVERAGE MIGHT AGAIN BE MORE THAN 40 PERCENT IN SOME AREAS BUT GIVEN MESOSCALE NATURE OF STORMS HARD TO PIN POINT EXACT LOCATION. CURRENT FORECAST HAS TAKEN THE ABOVE INTO ACCOUNT. NO UPDATE REQUIRED AT THIS TIME. 23 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 355 AM CDT SUN JUL 6 2014/ DISCUSSION... CURRENT FCST LOOKS GOOD AND MADE VERY FEW CHANGES TO IT. EXPECT GENERAL PATTERN OF ISO/SCT PRECIP TO DEVELOP OFFSHORE LATE NIGHT & EARLY MORNING THEN TRANSITION INLAND DURING THE DAY COMPLIMENTS OF DAYTIME HEATING AND THE SEABREEZE. OVERALL COVERAGE DEPENDS ON SLIGHT VARIATIONS OF MOISTURE AVAILABILITY & LOCATION EACH DAY. SFC HIGH PRES SHOULD REMAIN CENTERED OFF TO THE EAST ALLOWING WEAK ONSHORE FLOW TO PERSIST. FURTHER ALOFT...LOOKS LIKE WE'LL REMAIN IN A SLIGHT WEAKNESS BETWEEN RIDGES. SOME OF THE MEDIUM RANGE SOLNS DO SUGGEST UPPER RIDGE BUILDING FURTHER OVERHEAD TOWARD NEXT WEEKEND WHICH WOULD BRING RAIN CHANCES DOWN AND TEMPS UP. JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON - BUT PERSISTENCE FCST WILL DO FOR NOW. 47 MARINE... AS HIGH PRESSURE EDGES OFF TO THE EAST THE ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD BE IN- CREASING SLIGHTLY THE NEXT DAY OR SO. THESE LIGHT/MODERATE WINDS ARE FCST TO PERSIST FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK AS THE WX PATTERN REMAINS GENER- ALLY QUIET. NO ADVISORIES/CAUTION FLAGS ARE ANTICIPATED EXPECTED THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. 41 AVIATION... CALM WINDS/WET GROUNDS HELPING TO PRODUCE SOME PATCHY/SHALLOW GROUND FOG THIS MORNING. NOT EXPECTING ANY SIGNIFICANT VIS/CIG RESTRICTIONS THROUGH MID MORNING AS ALL OF THIS SHOULD MIX OUT BY THEN. OTHERWISE SHORT TERM GUIDANCE INDICATING THAT THE BEST CHCS FOR PCPN WILL BE A BIT FURTHER W/SW THIS AFTN BUT ISO ACTIVITY ALONG/NEAR THE SEABREEZE CANNOT BE TOTALLY RULED OUT (GIVEN THE TRENDS THESE LAST FEW DAYS). AS SUCH MAY ADD VCSH FOR SOME OF THE CENTRALLY LOCATED TAFS (SGR/HOU AND LBX) FOR THIS AFTN. 41 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
