.DISCUSSION...
SHORT WAVE COMING INTO THE WESTERN CWA AND AFTER SEEING THE
SOUNDING FROM NEAR HOBBY AIRPORT HAVE DROPPED ANY FURTHER MENTION
OF SEVERE. ABUNDANT MOISTURE STILL IN PLACE AND SEA FOG CREEPING
INTO THE COASTAL AREAS. SHOWERS SHOULD FILL IN ACROSS THE AREA
BUT HAVE BACKED OFF ON QPF AS WELL. WILL STILL CARRY HIGHISH POPS
BUT FOR MAINLY SHOWERS. TEMPERATURE DROP HAS BEEN RUNNING 15-20
DEGREES IN LESS THAN HOUR WITH THE FROPA AND AS OF 3 PM 36-44
DEGREES WAS COMMON NORTH OF THE FRONT WHICH HAD JUST REACHED A
COLUMBUS TO MAGNOLIA TO LIVINGSTON LINE.
AS THIS VERY COLD AIRMASS PUSHES SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON AND NIGHT
EXPECTING WINDY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE WESTERN AND SOUTHERN AREAS
TO DEVELOP SO WILL MAINTAIN THE WIND ADVISORY. HAVE ALSO ISSUED
OUR FIRST WIND CHILL ADVISORY GIVEN THE NEW CRITERIA OF 10-15
DEGREES...NORTH TIER OF COUNTIES COULD SEE THESE READINGS MAINLY
BETWEEN AROUND 3 AM AND 8 AM. SOME CONCERN FOR SOME LIGHT
SLEET/GRAUPEL THIS EVENING THROUGH AROUND 3 AM FOR THE FAR
NORTHERN AREAS. PRECIP IS MOVING VERY QUICKLY NORTHEAST AND
TRANSLATING EASTWARD WITH THE ARRIVING UPPER TROUGH. THINKING NOW
IS THE PRECIP WILL COME TO AN END BEFORE ANY SIGNIFICANT
ACCUMULATION OF SLEET COULD OCCUR AND BEFORE TEMPERATURES DIP TO
THE MORNING LOWS. FOR NOW PLAN TO COVER THIS OCCURRENCE WITH AN
SPS.
TOMORROW SHOULD BE MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH SOME BREAKS WORKING IN FROM
THE NORTH BUT ANOTHER S/W IS HEADED THIS WAY ON TUESDAY AND WILL
GET THE MOIST UPGLIDE BACK IN FULL SWING BY LATE MONDAY NIGHT SO
EXPECTING SKIES TO BECOME MOSTLY CLOUDY TO CLOUDY WITH COLD
TEMPERATURES TRAPPED OVER THE AREA. S/W SHOULD ALSO LEAD TO
INCREASING RAIN CHANCES AGAIN TUESDAY MORNING WITH WIDESPREAD
LIGHT RAIN POSSIBLE BY NOON. A BREAK IN THE PRECIP SHOULD OCCUR
WEDNESDAY MORNING BUT NEXT AND MORE VIGOROUS S/W TRACKS THROUGH
CENTRAL TX AND SETX WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON SO RAIN CHANCES RETURN
WITH MORE LIGHT RAINS AND A NICE REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR.
WARMING UP FRIDAY AS FLOW BECOMES SOUTHERLY IN RESPONSE TO THE
NEXT TROUGH DROPPING SOUTH THROUGH THE 4 CORNERS...FAVORING THE
ECMWF FOR NOW.
TEMPERATURES...HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED LOWER MORE OR LESS ACROSS THE
BOARD MORE IN LINE WITH OPNL ECMWF TEMPERATURES OR ENSEMBLE MEANS
IN THE EXTENDED.

.MARINE...
SOME AREAS OF SEA FOG HAVE BEGUN TO DEVELOP NEAR THE
ENTRANCE TO GALVESTON BAY THIS AFTERNOON. THESE PATCHES OF FOG WILL
PERSIST UNTIL THE COLD FRONT PUSHES OFFSHORE. THE FRONT IS MOVING
INTO THE HOUSTON METRO AREA AND SHOULD BEGIN TO MOVE OFFSHORE FIRST
NEAR MATAGORDA BAY AROUND SUNSET AND THEN OFF THE COAST NEAR
GALVESTON AROUND 9PM. STRONG AND GUSTY NORTH WINDS WILL FOLLOW THE
FRONT. HAVE KEPT THE GALE WATCH IN PLACE FOR THE COASTAL WATERS AND
WILL ALLOW THE EVENING SHIFT TO DECIDE WHETHER TO REPLACE WITH A
GALE WARNING OR A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY. EITHER WAY...HAZARDOUS
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR ALL WATERS IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT.
WINDS WILL BEGIN TO EASE LATE MONDAY AND TURN MORE NORTHEASTERLY
TUESDAY AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF
IN RESPONSE TO AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE. 38
