NWS Houston/Galveston, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 6, 3:02 PM CST, 1 hour 18 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 402 PM CDT Thu Jun 6 2019 .DISCUSSION... - Severe Thunderstorm watch for Colorado, Wharton, Matagorda, and Jackson Counties. Watch may need to be expanded to Washington, Austin, Fort Bend and Brazoria counties depending upon evolution. Most likely not have to include Harris County but it will be close. - Hot weekend - heat index values get up to 105F on Saturday and approach advisory criteria 108F on Sunday. - Frontal boundary to push through Monday into Tuesday. .NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]... The main concern the next 6 hours will be the severe weather threat. Storms have initiated over central Texas with a line segment splitting over Austin with 2 separate severe storms. Both storms look to have some mid level rotation, right mover headed towards Bastrop has the highest hail potential of the storms. We will need to monitor these storms as they move east into portions of the forecast area. A TAMU sounding near Luling TX south of these storms had a pretty favorable thermodynamic profile for hail and damaging winds. CAPE was around 3700 J/kg with -9 LI and a DCAPE of 1300 J/kg. Wind profiles had increased from 850mb up to 300mb with a somewhat straight line hodograph which would explain the possibility of storms splitting. Sounding should give a good idea of what storm mode to expect and severe threats. CAMs had been hinting at these storms moving E/SE towards Houston through 7-8PM. This still looks like a good possibility but likely need to have storms form farther south than the storms near Bastrop. Just the last few minutes we are seeing a few showers develop along I-10 between Columbus and Sealy. Storms should be more diurnally driven and weaken with the loss of heating. .SHORT TERM [Friday Through Sunday]... Storms will be possible again on Friday as the upper level low over central OK moves east. Most of these storms will be possible over the northern portions of the area and develop southward. None of the models are particularly emphatic with rain chances but given NW flow aloft there should be some showers/storms to develop with day time heating. Upper level ridge then builds over much of Texas over the weekend so high temperatures in the mid/upper 90s look on track. Heat index values will approach heat advisory criteria so we will need to keep close watch for that potential. Being early June, heat may have more of an impact that later in the summer. Sunday looks hotter than Saturday. .LONG TERM [Monday Through Thursday]... Models continue their trend of a frontal boundary pushing into the area Monday into Tuesday. There will be some slight shower and thunderstorm chances with this boundary but threats for severe weather/flooding look minimal if any at all. Northerly winds should allow for some drier conditions and temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s for the rest of the week. Dewpoints will be more in the 60s to low 70s which will feel dry compared to the recent dewpoints in the mid to upper 70s. Overpeck && .MARINE... Weak high pressure in the wake of yesterdays activity have helped to keep mostly light W/SW winds and lower seas in place over the coast- al waters today. And with another disturbance moving in from the WNW late this afternoon/early evening, this pattern will likely continue tonight/early tomorrow. Winds are expected to be light/somewhat var- iable through the weekend...higher in/near any thunderstorms that do form. A weak cold front is still progged to cross the coastal waters late Monday with light offshore winds forecast for the first half of next week. No Advisory/Caution flags are anticipated. 41 && && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
