000 FXUS64 KHGX 220349 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 949 PM CST Sat Jan 21 2017 .DISCUSSION... Continuing to see scattered showers/isolated thunderstorms develop and move across SE TX this evening, all out ahead of the main cold front (which appears to be just outside the CWA along a Palestine/ Granger/Cotulla line). Some activity also appears to be forming on the front as well, but the better lift (likely from a passing vort max) looks to be moving across areas just along and south of I-10. Inherited POP/WX grids seem to have this covered so did not make a lot of changes with this update. 41 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 409 PM CST Sat Jan 21 2017/ Jet core advancing north out of the Rio Grande and streaming across south central state. This strengthened slightly veered westerly flow...along with the low-mid level advection of a Valley dry air mass...has cleared skies out to clear. Full sun to the surface...with a westerly component to the surface wind field...has allowed some locations in (and south-west) of the city to touch the lower 80s. Generally a day in the middle to upper 70s with an anticipated clear evening allowing temperatures to quickly fall into the low to mid 60s shortly after sunset. Enhanced PVA with lingering moisture ahead of a nearing cold frontal boundary keep slight NE forecast area evening rain chances in place. Hirez models show a 20-30 percent chance of -shra (possible rogue storm) to clip the far northern counties. Sea fog just off the coast will pull back to the shoreline in the coming hours...locally dense in the evening as the region falls just downstream of an approaching cold front. The upper trough axis will be east of the region by 18Z Sunday... with the associated cold frontal passage to occur from the early overnight Sunday morning hours through the late morning hours. Strong offshore winds in this front`s wake will reach advisory criteria by 9 or 10 AM and maintain these magnitudes through around this time tomorrow. Recent rain has saturated the ground enough that shallow rooted trees may topple within these strong daytime northerlies. Transitory ridging at all levels Monday will weaken offshore winds with backing mid-upper flow drawing up a warmer southwesterly air mass...85H temps will cool to the 4-5 C range tomorrow afternoon during the brunt of the CAA and warm back to around 16-17 C by Tuesday morning. Thus...after a relatively cooler Sunday in the 60s and a Monday in the 70s...upper 70 to lower 80 afternoons will be the theme Tuesday. A weak cold frontal passage early Wednesday will regulate warming to the low to mid 60s once again. Slight rain chances will be painted across the SE forecast area/Gulf Wednesday just ahead (or along) the boundary as it travels offshore by Wednesday noon. Mid to late week weak upper troughing over the MS River Valley... with surface ridging enveloping the state...has northeast winds veering to east through Friday. A relatively dry and cold frontal passage slated for early Saturday will allow an arctic based chilled air mass to spill into the region over the weekend. Subfreezing mid-level air reaching the coast Saturday night will lower overnight (weekend) minimums to under 40 F. There are slight POPs in place early Saturday and...depending on the arrival of the coldest lower-middle layer air in relation to the highest downstream moisture...the mention of frozen precipitation may work its way into future forecasts. 31 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
