NWS Houston/Galveston, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 10, 11:56 AM CST, 2 hours 4 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 1256 PM CDT Tue Sep 10 2019 .AVIATION... Convection near KSGR and KIAH and will start with a TEMPO for both sites to start the TAF period. Adequate moisture coupled with daytime heating and a weak upper level low spinning off the middle Texas coast will keep scattered showers and thunderstorms around this afternoon. Convection will wane with the loss of heating this evening and skies will clear before some patchy MVFR ceilings develop over the northern TAF sites. Leaned a bit toward the ECMWF cloud produce and HRRR ceilings progs for late night ceilings. Moisture return early Wednesday and have introduced SHRA for KLBX and KGLS prior to 12z. Daytime heating will allow coastal convection to gradually spread inland between 12-18z Wednesday. 43 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 512 AM CDT Tue Sep 10 2019/ SHORT TERM [Today through Wednesday Night]... This morning's HGX radar looking quite similar to yesterday, with scattered activity over the coastal waters moving onshore. Will be keeping POPs slightly higher across the western counties given the best push of moisture from the Gulf at this time, but with daytime heating...we'll likely see widespread pulse-type storms over mainly the northern half of the CWA. Not seeing much by way of obvious boundaries (save for perhaps a weak/lingering outflow or two), and will be expecting coverage to be similar to yesterday. Brief heavy rainfall and gusty winds to accompany the stronger storms. Activity should to wind down by the evening with the loss of heating. With slightly deeper moisture in play (along with the proximity of the upper trof/shear axis), we should see higher POPs across SE TX on Weds. Still not expecting much by way of severe weather at this time given the progs of weak shear and the still lack of a surface focus/boundary. Locally heavy rainfall and brief gusty winds to be the main threats. 41 LONG TERM [Thursday through Tuesday]... With the upper ridge over the eastern U.S. building back over the region (to the west), we should see decreased rain chances and increased temperatures from Thurs into the weekend. We will still be set up for isolated POPs (mainly daytime along the seabreeze), but one of the main issues should the the return of high temps back in to the upper 90s (in particular for the Brazos Valley region). However, of note for this extended part of the forecast, will be a return of a wetter pattern for SE TX as the upper ridge out to the east lift a bit and we become situated on its southern side. This pattern usually means an increase of weak easterly waves from across the northern Gulf moving into the CWA. And as it so happens the first of these waves may be on track for Sun/Mon if the models do verify. 41 MARINE... Winds across the Upper Texas Coast should be mainly southeasterly in the 10-15 knot range the next few days before weakening. The high pressure system over the northern Gulf Coast should weaken helping to relax the winds for late Friday through the weekend. The upper level low pressure system over the Coastal Bend today should pump moisture into the area and increase the chances for showers and thunderstorms and these have developed early and though on recent weakening trend should likely redevelop this morning across the region and follow a similar trend again Wednesday with the arrival of the richest moisture. Tide levels should remain near normal and rip currents at moderate to low intensity. Will be keeping an eye on the system near Hispaniola this morning with NHC indicating at least a chance of development late in the weekend on a trajectory that could bring it into the SE Gulf. 45 AVIATION... VFR for the most part with some patchy fog (MVFR). Showers made an initial push into the coastal areas this morning and weak speed convergence remains but should be gradually weakening before the seabreeze starts to develop. Moisture increases today and anticipate a round or two of showers and thunderstorms. Recent HRRR runs highlighting the 14-18z window for the IAH/HOU/SGR terminals then spreading into the vicinity of the northern sites. Possibly some redevelopment over the southern mid afternoon...not as confident that it will redevelop there this afternoon. Patchy fog again possible tonight with scattered showers and thunderstorms again in a very similar time frame on Wednesday. 45 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
