000 FXUS64 KHGX 040143 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 843 PM CDT Mon Apr 3 2017 .DISCUSSION... Not planning on any changes with the update this evening. Slightly higher dewpoints over the SW portions of the CWA do lend some cre- dence to the idea of patchy fog there overnight...whereas the rest of the area did see quite a bit of mixing. Current forecast trends for the short-term look to be on track. 41 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 354 PM CDT Mon Apr 3 2017/ A beautiful day across the Lone Star as surface high pressure nudges up into the western Gulf...subsidence rules with clear skies affording many communities maximum temperatures in the lower to middle 80s. Low relative humidities in the interior middle 20s to upper 30s...depending on the ambient temperatures as many dew points have mixed out into the lower to middle 50s (inland) to lower 60s along the coast. After a cool starry evening of areawide interior minimum Ts in the lower 60s...mid to upper 60s close to coast...Tuesday will warm to near record values (please see Climate section below). Houston (IAH)`s maximum temperature record tomorrow is 120 years old! The only caveat tomorrow will be the possible development of patchy 4 to 6 mile visibility-restricting patchy fog outside the city...primarily centered over the more western to southwestern rural counties. Confidence is low of any significant fog development per a near 6 to 8 knot southerly breeze and the possible existence of a high cloud deck. A cold frontal passage Wednesday morning will open the gates for a colder and drier continental-in-origin air mass to spread across the region from mid week on through Thursday...a slow modification of the air mass Friday as weakened offshore winds swing back around to onshore through the day. Slight early Wednesday rain chances (showers) just ahead or along the front over more southern counties. The coldest and driest air will come across late Wednesday into Thursday...anticipating that mid-level air will fall from the mid to upper teens into the single digits by midnight Thursday/pwats will plummet into the 0.3 to 0.4 inch realm Thursday. The fire weather scenario is highlighted below. This frontal passage will chill mornings into the 40s and regulate afternoon warmth into very comfortable (near normal) middle to upper 70s in closing out the week. Late week large high pressure /upper ridging dominates the weather pattern with no rain forecast through Saturday. Rain chances increase Sunday with the passage of a far northern Plains upper trough. The associated surface cold front may make it into eastern Texas by Monday but will most likely hang up somewhere north. Saturation under a mid-level warm nose and a vicinity front may produce daytime scattered shower activity early next week. 31 Climate...
