000 FXUS64 KHGX 292103 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 403 PM CDT Wed Mar 29 2017 .DISCUSSION... Strong thunderstorms continue to move east of the Houston metro this afternoon, but have left anywhere from 1 to over 3 inches of rain and multiple reports of damage in their wake. This storm, and associated storms stretching from Polk County southwest to near Freeport. These storms will continue to translate east of the region over the next few hours, clearing the region by 7 to 9 PM CDT. Afternoon water vapor imagery shows the compact upper level storm system responsible for today`s severe weather churning over Oklahoma, with another strong disturbance located farther up stream off the Pacific Northwest coast. An upper trough axis associated with the Southern Plains low will swing across Texas tonight, aiding the southeastward progress of a cold front analyzed across West Central Texas this afternoon. Drying and stabilization in the wake of today`s storms should make the frontal passage across the region a dry one, with Thursday morning lows in the mid 50s to mid 60s about 10 degrees cooler than what was observed this morning. Westerly flow and shortwave ridging building across the region on Thursday and Friday will allow for dry conditions to persist into the beginning of the weekend, with temperatures dramatically warming into the mid to possibly upper 80s by Friday and Saturday. As the Pacific Northwest system drops across the Four Corners and reaches the High Plains on Saturday, low rain chances will return to the region on Saturday as moisture returns to the region (possibly along a developing sea breeze). Increasing lift ahead of the approaching upper low will result in periods of showers and thunderstorms spreading across the region Sunday night, with the development of numerous showers and thunderstorms possible Sunday and Sunday night as the main energy from the upper low reaches the region. Given the upper pattern across the region, both severe weather and heavy rain appear possible per CIPS Analog Threat Guidance on Sunday. Dry and warm conditions are expected in the wake of Sunday`s system into the middle of next week. Huffman && .MARINE... Carrying small craft advisories into this evening due to the moderate to strong south winds feeding into area storms and also the elevated seas. Lighter winds can be expected overnight ahead of a cold front that will move off the coast before sunrise. Northwest winds behind the front will quickly return to the south on Friday and increase through the weekend. Caution and/or advisory flags might be needed over the weekend. Another Pacific front pushes through early Monday which will shift winds again. 42 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
