066 FXUS64 KHGX 220021 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 721 PM CDT Mon Aug 21 2017 .AVIATION... Storms have moved out of the Metro terminals with only a few left on the radar near 66R and east and southeast of CLL. Overnight VFR with the possibility (though slim) that brief MVFR fog/cigs develop at UTS/LBX/CXO toward morning. Model soundings showing increased subsidence with drier air aloft and less low level moisture to work with so have tweaked TAFS to mainly VCSH after 18z. Winds decouple tonight then come back up after sunrise but only 4-8kts for the most part out of the SE...overall quiet aviation wx. 45 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 414 PM CDT Mon Aug 21 2017/ DISCUSSION... Mainly scattered showers (only storm at the bottom of the hour was in central Liberty County) beginning to get going across the second tier counties this afternoon...quickly moving northwest and dissipating after a half an hour with new convection forming along their westward propagating outflow boundaries. Ambient temperatures climbed into the average lower 90s...interior dew points mixing out into the lower 70s affording near 100 F heat indices. Closer to the coast where there is less cloud cover post seas breeze passage...heat indices are closer to 103 to 105 F as dew points remain in the mid to upper 70s. Static synoptic pattern in store for tomorrow so not much change from today. Overnight middle 70s/ lower 80s at coast under mainly clear skies with the only subtle change being on Maximum T numbers. Stronger western Texas ridging nudging eastward may push mid to late afternoon interior temperatures up into the middle 90s. 30 POPs in the vicinity of the sea breeze front to mainly account for towering cu reaching their full potential during the heat of the day. The buzz around the local offices has been about how the NWP model suite is handling the evolution of what may become TC Harvey. They are very aggressive in taking the remnants of Harvey across the Yucatan tomorrow and placing them into the southern Bay of Campeche by tomorrow night into Wednesday morning....eventually taking a tropical storm or hurricane into the Valley and meandering it across south/central Texas through the weekend. Granted that this wave will be entering a less sheared environment as the central Gulf wide cyclonic circulation/inverted trough moves into the western Gulf...but much remains uncertain especially since Harvey is currently a wave heading west towards the Belize coastline. Have remained conservative on increasing POPS/impacts from mid week onward due to very low confidence....primarily stuck to the generic 30-40 daily precipitation chances until better focus comes into play (that time affords) from the evolution of this wave across the Yucatan peninsula. So...in essence...if the deterministic runs pan out then it will become a very busy week for south and central Texas. The other scenario of this wave/Harvey moving into southern Bay of Campeche and then steering west into central Mexico makes this a persistent forecast of partially cloudy days...mid-upper 70s/low-mid 90s and late morning through afternoon 20 to near 40 POPs. Let`s prepare for the former and hope for the latter scenario.....31 MARINE... Continued light/moderate winds and low seas are expected into midweek. Scattered late night and morning showers and thunderstorms will also persist. The forecast becomes considerably more uncertain during the second half of the week. We`ll be keeping an eye on the remnants of Harvey and whether or not it can redevelop once it moves into the Bay of Campeche sometime Wed. Guidance seems to think that`s a possibility and would send some elevated swells toward the Texas coast if that`s the case. Nudged seas up a touch in this forecast package...maybe not enough if it does. Prefer to watch trends before going much higher attm. 47 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
