Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
920 PM CDT Mon Jun 26 2017

.DISCUSSION...
At 7:00 PM, surrounding upper air sites had PW/s near 2 to 2.1
inches over the southern two-thirds of the forecast area. Over the
north, SHV had a PW of 1.4 inches. This was indicative of the
drier air that was trying to filter down into SE Texas from the
north. The moisture was evident up through 850 (15 to 16 Celsius)
and 700 mb (5 to 6 Celsius). Plenty of lift will be available
tonight with a 500 mb trough moving across the area overnight
coupled with a few surface boundaries in place from earlier and
ongoing convection. The tricky part about the forecast for the
remainder of the night will be to determine how far southward the
drier airmass will push into the area. The models differed
somewhat with the higher resolution/short term models making a
case for a bit of a push southward. Decided to keep the lessor
pops over the northeast but to also nudge the 20 percent area a
bit farther to the northeast.

Otherwise, chances for showers and thunderstorms will continue
through the night. Will have a chance for some of the slower
moving storms to generate 1 to 3 inches of rain in spots which may
in turn cause isolated minor flooding. Bit tough to determine
actually where this will occur but best chances for the isolated
heavier rainfall will be generally across the Interstate 10
corridor given the moisture axis present at 700 mb.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 642 PM CDT Mon Jun 26 2017/

AVIATION.../00Z TAF/
The radar is still pretty active this evening with boundary
collisions from outflows causing new development. TAFs will carry
VCSH/VCTS through 01-02Z this evening. Radar and GOES 16 vis
imagery shows outflow coming from Cleveland towards KIAH so will
need to monitor that for new development. Otherwise any new
development should be from KCXO to KUTS/KCLL. There are a couple
new showers between KSGR/KHOU and new activity in the gulf headed
towards KLBX. Again lots to monitor and likely see some amending
until convection dissipates. Convection should dissipate with the
loss of heating, but there is still a moist airmass over the area
which given a couple hours to recharge could produce new storms
later tonight.

Overnight while there could be a few lingering showers/storms,
think overall should have VFR conditions. There might be some
MVFR/IFR conditions for KCLL and maybe KCXO/KLBX should skies
clear enough and fog/low clouds develop.

Tomorrow looks to same as today with 2 inch precipitable water
airmass over the region. Convective temperatures in the mid/upper
80s should still trigger storms along any existing boundaries.
Should get scattered activity again with multiple outflow boundary
collisions providing lift for storms.

The rain looked to have mostly left with maybe a few lingering light showers in and around the Houston, TX area, during the night.

Thoughts: Well at least Houston, TX  got some rain from tropical storm Cindy. But I heard from my coworkers that some areas of Houston, TX didn't get that much rain. I know my area did since the tropical storm was mostly north of Houston, TX, some of the rain bands must have been able to reach the north and northwest side of Houston, TX.

There also might have been some coastal flood advisories issued for the southern areas of Houston, TX. There were no other watches, warnings, advisories, weather statements, or alerts issued for the Houston, TX, that I know of. The low temps looked to be in the 70's and the high temps looked to be in the 80's, or maybe 90's, or at least maybe some 90's, for the Houston, TX area. I didn't hear about, or see any storm damages, or flooding from tropical storm Cindy, for the Houston, TX area. There were reports of storm surge at Galveston, TX beaches, but that is the only thing that I have heard about from tropical storm Cindy.


Locations: Northwest and west Houston, TX.


Thoughts: Not much going on with tropical storm Cindy, for the Houston, TX area, today. Just some minor strong winds and a few bands of rain. Maybe Houston, TX will see more from tropical storm Cindy tomorrow.

HAZARDOUS FLOOD WATERS HAVING POSSIBLE LIMITED
IMPACTS. IF REALIZED, THESE IMPACTS INCLUDE:
    - RIVERS AND TRIBUTARIES MAY QUICKLY RISE WITH SWIFTER CURRENTS.
      SMALL STREAMS, CREEKS, CANALS, AND DITCHES MAY BECOME
      SWOLLEN AND OVERFLOW IN SPOTS.
    - A FEW PLACES WHERE RAPID PONDING OF WATER
      OCCURS AT UNDERPASSES, LOW-LYING SPOTS, AND POOR DRAINAGE
      AREAS. SEVERAL STORM DRAINS AND RETENTION PONDS BECOME
      NEAR-FULL AND BEGIN TO OVERFLOW.

ELSEWHERE ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS, LITTLE TO NO IMPACT IS ANTICIPATED.

* WIND:
POTENTIAL IMPACTS FROM THE MAIN WIND EVENT ARE NOW UNFOLDING ACROSS
COASTAL SOUTHEAST TEXAS. SOME LOCATIONS...INCLUDING GALVESTON...HAVE
SEEN GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH. IF REALIZED, WIND IMPACTS INCLUDE:
    - UNSECURED LIGHTWEIGHT OBJECTS BLOWN AROUND.
    - SOME TREE LIMBS DOWN.
    - ISOLATED TO SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
924 PM CDT Wed Jun 21 2017

.UPDATE...
Changes: Will be issuing a Coastal Flood Advisory for Brazoria
County through 15z Thursday.

Tropical Storm Cindy getting closer to the Louisiana coast. This
feature will make landfall early Thursday. 00z sounding data shows
a very moist airmass at LCH with PW values near 2.50 inches
(probably a bit contaminated by a shower). PW values at CRP are
considerably drier with values under an inch. It appears that the
dry air on the western edge of Cindy is prevailing as
precipitation moving west continues to evaporate as it moves west.
Have lowered rain chances over the western half of the CWA due to
the dry air. Kept rain chances high over the east and added
locally heavy rain to the weather grids over the extreme east as a
cluster of strong storms over Western Louisiana pushes west.
Tweaked min temps a degree or so mainly to match obs.


PW values are progged to increase to over 2 inches on Thursday and
daytime heating coupled with the higher moisture should yield
scattered shra/tsra during the day. Very high sfc dew pts and warm
afternoon temps on Friday will yield some high heat index values.
Would not be surprised if a few locations reached or exceeded 105
degrees on Friday aftn. 43

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 634 PM CDT Wed Jun 21 2017/

AVIATION...
Tropical Storm Cindy`s impacts are the main concern for the first
12 hours and especially so for the first 6 hours. Rain bands were
evident on radar. Winds were gusting to 30 knots at KGLS and
expect winds to gust to between 20 and 30 knots over the inland
over the inland areas through 04Z. An exception is KCLL since the
site appears to be too far west for the rain bands to reach.
However, there is a slight chance the bands could reach KCLL. If
so, gusty winds of about 25 knots will be possible there as well.
MVFR conditions should develop later this evening over most of the
sites. As Cindy moves inland on Thursday, do expect conditions of
generally improve during the late morning to midday time period.
However, bands of showers and thunderstorms will be possible again
during the afternoon.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 323 PM CDT Wed Jun 21 2017/

DISCUSSION...
Tropical Storm Cindy continues heading toward the TX/LA border area
with a landfall still anticipated to happen tonight. Showers and
thunderstorms have begun moving into the Chambers County-Galveston
Bay-Bolivar Peninsula area. Breezy/gusty north to northeast winds
this afternoon (generally running around 15 to 25 mph inland and
25 to 30 mph coast) will shift to the northwest and west overnight
as the circulation center works its way onshore. Look for periods
of showers and thunderstorms to move westward into the area overnight
with the best chances and highest amounts possibly setting up across
parts of our far eastern counties (Chambers/Liberty/San Jacinto/Polk).
Rainfall totals tonight through Thursday should range from around/under
1/4 inch out west to 1 to 3 inches out east, and higher amounts are
possible in/around those far eastern counties listed mentioned above
where WPC is currently carrying a slight risk of excessive rainfall.
Still looking for rain chances to persist for the end of the week,
on into the weekend, and into the start of next week as precipitable
water values remain very high under a persistent onshore flow while
a weak frontal boundary sags southward into our area.  42

MARINE...
Overview and winds:  Still looking at tropical storm force winds to
develop over the marine areas tonight. Around 2:50 PM, a platform
just outside our marine zones at the East Breaks at 393 feet
recorded a wind of 39 gust to 45 knots. Even though it is way above
the surface, it does show the potential for tropical storm force
wind gusts in showers and storms currently moving through the marine
areas. No change in the warning/advisory configurations.

Tides/seas:  Tides have gradually been piling up against the islands
and peninsulas on the lower sides of the bays. For example, Rollover
Pass on the bayside of the Bolivar Peninsula has tides over 3 feet,
while Pier 21 was between 3.9 and 4 feet since noon time. Even along
the coast with the downside of the earlier high tide, tide levels
at 2:48 PM were near 4 feet at the Galveston Bay Entrance and 3.4
feet at Freeport. Do expect some subsiding levels during the times
of low tide later this evening. However, tide levels will rise back
up to possibly reach levels seen earlier today as Cindy makes
landfall. Have received reports of tidal flooding on portions of the
Strand in Galveston -- on the bayside of the island.

Seas at buoy 42035 and 42019 were 7 to 12 feet with a period of 10
to 11 seconds early this afternoon. Wave runup combined with the
rough seas and high tides will continue to provide a flood potential
most certainty in the areas under the tropical storm warning and
could affect the Blue Water Highway further down the coast.
Currently have a coastal flood advisory in effect for Brazoria
County through 4:00 PM and will look to see if this needs to be
extended.

Have not had any indications of low water problems up in the Ship
Channel yet. Manchester actually had water levels about 1.5 feet
above the Mean Lower Water Levels. Will continue to monitor this
possibility later tonight. Still a complicated scenario.

As was discussed earlier, as Cindy moves inland, winds will
gradually back to the west on Thursday then to the south Thursday
night. Moderate onshore winds will then persist into the weekend.
