NWS Houston/Galveston, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 9, 2:12 PM CST, 41 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 312 PM CDT Mon Sep 9 2019 .SHORT TERM [through Tuesday night]... The best shower and thunderstorm coverage since sunrise today has been across portions of our western counties and parts of our far north and northeast areas. Look for activity to diminish/dissipate this evening with the loss of heating, but additional development will be possible overnight (especially across parts of the coastal areas) as rising moisture levels off the coast work their way inland as the Deep South Texas area mid/upper low remains nearly stationary. Tomorrow night will be similar to tonight with decreasing coverage in the evening followed by increasing coverage toward morning. 42 && .LONG TERM [Wednesday through Monday]... Mid week upper ridging centered over the Appalachia will begin to expand southwest towards eastern Texas. The upper to mid level height weakness area that will be the impetus to today and Tuesday's rain will retrograde further west and be absorbed into this upper ridging by Thursday. A surge of near 1.8 inch pwat southern Gulf air will come onshore Wednesday and, with vorts moving northward within this aforementioned area of height weakness, there will be moderate to near high end chance probabilities for more areawide Wednesday showers and thunderstorms. As in previous days, morning shower and storm activity will likely form and move onshore and then when the lower 90s are met re-blossom further within the interior during the afternoon into early evening hours. Decent southerly cell movement should preclude any flooding issues but progs are displaying an inverted V profile (6-8k ft bases). This could be a signal that the strongest, more organized storms could put down greater than 30 knot downburst wind gusts (think SGR this morning). Drier air works its way in on easterly steering flow underneath 35N latitude centered upper ridging and this will significantly lower Thursday into Friday's rain chances. A eastern to central Gulf tropical wave is currently being shown in both the GFS and Euro solutions to move into our far eastern waters over the weekend. It will certainly be an area to watch for any tropical development. As of this writing, NHC has not mentioned it and it looks to be a rain maker for the upper Texas coastline into Louisiana (and points eastward down the Gulf Coast) early next week. Again, as of now, we fall on the drier more subsident side of what is being modeled as a wave before it gets picked up northward around Bermuda ridging. 31 && .MARINE... Light to moderate onshore winds (generally 10 to 15 knots, occasionally higher) can be expected across the coastal waters through midweek along with periods of showers and thunderstorms (winds and seas will be higher in and near the storm). A more east to northeast flow is anticipated beginning on a Thursday-Friday time period and continuing on into the weekend as high pressure begins to ridge into the area. 42 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1221 PM CDT Mon Sep 9 2019/ AVIATION... Looking for SHRA/TSRA development today, so have included VCTS in most inland TAFs. Will quiet things down this evening, then bring in VCSH beginning tomorrow morning near the coast. Deeper moisture axis out over the Gulf now (where SHRA/TSRA development is occuring) will be working its way toward and into our area tonight and tomorrow which might result in better/increasing coverage for our area. 42 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
