000 FXUS64 KHGX 130346 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 946 PM CST Sun Feb 12 2017 .UPDATE... Though the cold front is making its way through the area this evening, dewpoints remain in the low to mid 60s across all of Southeast Texas at this hour. As such, have tweaked temperatures to be more in line with the observations, and for low temperatures a little bit higher than previously thought. Have also tamped down the already low rain chances in the near term as regional radars remain completely quiet along the front for now. Luchs && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 549 PM CST Sun Feb 12 2017/ AVIATION... The weak frontal boundary continues making progress southward across the area late this afternoon with winds shifting to the north behind it and persisting from the south and southeast ahead of it. 00Z TAFs have mainly MVFR ceilings filling into portions of the area overnight. Some sea fog (possibly dense once again) should form in the bays and nearshore waters this evening and on through the overnight hours and could works its way inland across locations that remain ahead of the front. Might also see some -RA/-SHRA develop in the area. Once again, calling for MVFR cloud decks tomorrow afternoon which is well above most guidance. Most models have been incorrectly forecasting mainly MVFR ceilings across large parts of the area for the past several days, so not real confident on what might pan out during the day tomorrow with the frontal boundary in the area. Southeast Texas`s next best chances of SHRA/TSRA comes during the day on Tuesday when a storm system moves eastward across the area. 42 PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 340 PM CST Sun Feb 12 2017/ DISCUSSION... More record highs observed across the region today. Fortunately, they should be the last ones for a little while. Weak frontal boundary is about to begin pushing into se Tx in the next few hours. Some of the model guidance suggests some iso/sct shra developing along the boundary overnight as it slowly makes its way southward so have maintained lowish POPs tonight. High pres behind this front in the cntl plains will track ewd, so this eventually loses its swd push as it gets closer to the coast. Do anticipate a slightly cooler airmass to filter in to most inland areas as winds back to the ne/e. Sea fog expected near the coast and offshore. Not a whole lot of changes to the rest of the fcst either. Still anticipate a sfc wave/low to develop along the stalled front in the vicinity of the Big Bend area on Monday in advance of the next approaching upper trof. Looking for this storm system to push thru se Tx during the day Tuesday from roughly mid morning thru late afternoon. Deep available moisture with near record daily PW values will be in place as will impressive llvl shear/helicities. Marginal instability will be a limiting factor but have seen some strong/severe cells with much less. Tornadoes/wind would be primary threat. Not overly confident with a widespread heavy rain threat just yet. This system looks fairly progressive in nature and sfc boundary doesn`t look as east/west oriented & perpendicular to the h85 jet as some of the earlier runs. That being said, with the high PW`s I am still concerned with potential high rain rates themselves versus the overall amounts...esp metro areas. Will maintain the locally heavy rain wording. This system should be moving out by Valentines evening with mostly dry wx and seasonable temps filling into the area in its wake. Return flow sets up Friday with a gradual warming/modifying trend expected into next weekend. 47 MARINE... Areas of fog, some dense, will begin to redevelop by early this evening. Dewpoints in the mid 60s to around 70 moving over water temperatures of the mid and upper 60s will help with fog formation. Another factor will be the approach of a front that is expected to stall out over the inland portions of SE Texas later tonight and on Tuesday with a repeat on Monday night/Tuesday morning. This front may backdoor into Galveston Bay on Tuesday; however, a stronger front will move through the area and clear out the fog on Wednesday. Moderate to strong offshore winds will develop behind the front with caution conditions nearshore and advisory conditions offshore likely over the Gulf waters. These will diminish Wednesday night. 40 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
