Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 1221 PM CDT Wed Sep 7 2022 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Thursday Night) Issued at 359 AM CDT Wed Sep 7 2022 Activity over the Gulf waters are starting to blossom this morning as the activity north of the CWA is also starting up. The forecast issue for today looks to focus on the development up north and its association with the pesky mid/upper low that is progged to slowly drift south and close as it reaches the TX/LA coast. Dynamics with this system (along with a shortwave rotating around it) and an in- creasingly favorable jet pattern aloft should support scattered to possibly numerous showers/thunderstorms over parts of the CWA des- pite the lower PWs (1.4-1.5"). Not expecting any severe storms but locally heavy rainfall will be possible this afternoon. Coverage should decrease by this evening, but given the forecasted proximity of the main upper low, isolated development could linger through the overnight hours. But for tomorrow, rain chances should be a bit lower as this system slowly tracks a little further east. In the wake of this system, a deepening N/NE flow from the lower to upper levels could help to dry/cool the SE TX air mass by tomorrow night by a few degrees. Lows tonight are going to be mostly in the lower 70s...to the upper 60s to around 70 tomorrow night. At/along the immediate coast, lows will be in the mid to upper 70s. Daytime highs today will continue to run in the lower to mid 90s over much of the northern CWA...upper 80s south. For tomorrow, lower 90s for inland areas...upper 80s near the coast. 41 && .LONG TERM... (Friday through Tuesday) Issued at 359 AM CDT Wed Sep 7 2022 By Friday, the upper-level low will be meandering over the Louisiana coast, bringing dry northerly flow into the region. Latest guidance suggests even drier solutions with only slight chances in the afternoon associated with weak seabreeze/low-level convergence. The cut-off low wobbles over the Lower MS Valley during the weekend. Some mid-lvl shortwaves will move close to our region, bringing enough forcing to develop an isolated shower/storm or two across our far eastern counties on Saturday. The cut-off low finally weakens by Sunday ahead of a strengthening upper-lvl low over the Great Lakes/Middle MS Valley regions. This low will drag a cool front southward across the Plains Sunday into Monday. While there is still some differences in timing/strength with the FROPA, general consensus bring it by early Monday. Not much is anticipated with the passage of this frontal boundary, other than a few showers/storms (mainly south of I-10) and a wind shift. Behind the front, drier air filters in as a sfc high builds over the Plains. This FROPA will not bring a significant change in temperatures; however, it'll feel less muggy as sfc dewpoints drop into the 60s to low 70s degF range. In terms of temperatures, a gradual warming trend is expected through the long-term period with highs climbing from the upper 80s to low 90s. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAF Issuance) Issued at 1221 PM CDT Wed Sep 7 2022 Morning storms north of the area have collapsed. However, there is a good likelihood they restart this afternoon, and make their way south into the early evening. This is reflected in a period of VCTS at all terminals beginning at 20Z in the north and carrying on to 02Z near the coast. Have a TEMPO in place for a couple hours at UTS, CXO, and IAH. Might be needed at HOU/SGR as well, but not enough confidence to include them just yet. Once storms restart, will be better able to determine what, if any, TEMPOs are needed farther south. Beyond that, looking for clearing and calmer conditions overnight, but do have a few 09/10 placeholder lines just in case some isolated spots of fog crop up. Don't have to get too much into tomorrow's activity just yet, but do have a brief window for streamer showers at LBX and GLS. && .MARINE... Issued at 359 AM CDT Wed Sep 7 2022 Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop over the coastal waters early this morning. This activity is expected to continue through the morning hours as an upper- level disturbance moves over the region. Erratic/gusty winds and lightning can be expected with any stronger storms. Similar weather pattern will be possible on Thursday with showers and thunderstorms mainly in the morning. Rain and storm chances will be on the decrease towards the weekend and into the upcoming week as weak frontal boundary moves through and a high pressure settles in. Light and variable winds and low seas will continue through early next week. Weak flow will allow for onshore winds in the afternoon and evenings and offshore winds during the overnight and morning hours thanks to the land/sea breeze circulation. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
