Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
449 AM CDT Thu Jun 6 2019
.SHORT TERM [Today through Friday afternoon]...
An active weather pattern will continue across SE TX today and again
Friday. A fast moving line of showers and thunderstorms will continue
to weaken as they move east early this morning. They will probably
hold together to bring a chance of rain to mainly the western W-NW
half of the region. There should be a gap in precip for the rest of
the morning into the afternoon before a second disturbance triggers
additional thunderstorms over Central Texas. PW values reach 2.00
inches by 21z with K index values in the upper 30s. Convective temps
are around 90 and fcst soundings show little in the way of capping.
Mid level forcing looks very strong and fcst soundings also show
an inverted V signature this afternoon. The storms in Central TX
will move east into a very favorable environment and these storms
will likely intensify and could become strong to severe. The primary
severe weather hazard will be strong damaging winds. Lapse rates steepen
a bit so there could also be some large hail. SPC has outlooked the
SW half of the region in Slight/Enhanced Risk for severe storms, mainly
west of a College Station to Katy to Sargent line. The rest of SE TX has
been outlooked in Marginal Risk for severe storms this afternoon but
short term guidance is focusing most of the activity over the SW zones.
West winds have developed in the wake of departing low pressure. Tide
levels have dropped and the light west winds will continue to push
water away from the coast. Will cancel the Coastal Flood Advisory.
Not as confident with regard to the Rip Current Statement. Will extend
the statement through 17z and try get updated beach conditions later
this morning.
The slow moving upper level low over the southern plains that has been
partially responsible for our active weather will move east tonight but
another weak disturbance rotating around the upper low will clip the NE
zones tonight and bring yet additional showers and thunderstorms to the
NE half tonight. Weak low pressure will develop later tonight over southern
Arkansas and as the low moves east it will drag a very weak cold front
into SE TX on Friday. The front will likely stall near the I-10 corridor
and the convergence along this boundary coupled with daytime heating and
PW values between 1.7 and 1.9 inches will allow for late afternoon showers
and thunderstorms to develop. SPC has outlooked the area in a Marginal Risk
for severe storms on Friday afternoon. 43
&&
.LONG TERM [Friday night through Thursday]...
The upper level low currently moving across the southern Rockies
is expected to shift further eastward across the southern
portions of the Central Plains Friday. The associated surface
cold front will continue to move through Southern TX Friday. A few
showers and thunderstorms can be expected mainly across the
south of I10 Friday evening. Friday overnight, shower and
thunderstorm is expected to dissipate as forcing, daytime heating
and low level moisture gradually decrease over the forecast area.
PW values are generally at around 1.7 inches or less and continue
to decrease Friday overnight to below 1.5 inches. K index on
forecast soundings also drop to below 20 by early morning
Saturday.
Overall dry weather conditions expected Saturday and Sunday as an
upper level ridge settles over the region. This will set the
stage for sunny skies and high temperatures rising into the mid to
upper 90s during the weekend. The temperature trend over the last
few days has been indicating areas with heat index values of
100-110 degrees F. A Heat Advisory could be issued during the
weekend if heat index reaches and surpasses 108 degrees F.
Regardless of whether a Heat Advisory is issued, please take
extra precaution while outdoors. Also, please continue to monitor
the latest local forecast and products for updated information
pertaining your area.
Models indicate an upper level low developing over the northern
Rockies Sunday. An associated trough should be amplifying over
the Rockies on Sunday, moving into the Central Plains on Monday.
Week cold front is forecast to move across Southeast TX Monday.
There is chance for a few showers and possible isolated
thunderstorms from Sunday night into Monday. PWs do not look
impressive at the moment during this time frame. Temperatures
lower a bit Monday, with highs ranging between the upper 80s to
low 90s. A secondary trough or shortwave associated to the upper
level low moves eastward from the Rockies late Monday and into the
Central Plains through Wednesday. Better rain chances across
Southeast TX are seen on Wednesday. Moreover, these two features
will result in northerly winds from Sunday afternoon through
midweek. High temperatures also remain in the upper 80s to low 90s
Tuesday and Wednesday. 24

.MARINE...
Have dropped the SCA for the Gulf waters as west winds in the wake of
departing low are decreasing. Seas are now 6 feet at buoy 35 and will
continue to lower this morning. A cluster of storms will race across
Matagorda Bay this evening and enter the coastal waters between 00-03z.
Winds and seas will be locally higher in and near these storms. Otherwise,
light W-SW winds are expected today through Sunday night as the pressure
gradient remains weak. A weak cold front will cross the coastal waters
late Monday. Winds will become N-NE in the wake of the front. 43
