.DISCUSSION...
Weak ridging axis centered over the spine of the Rockies has
maintained and will maintain this dry northwest upper flow
pattern across the state. Low to mid level higher pressure
centered from the mid-upper Mississippi River Valley to over the
Great Lakes region (1032 mb surface high centered over Michigan)
...in relation to major Hurricane Irma over the Florida Straits...
keeping this dry and cooler northeasterly lower level wind in
place. As Hurricane Irma moves northward across the Florida
peninsula and into Alabama-Georgia through Monday...the (western
2/3rds CONUS) synoptic pattern will undergo very little change
west of this beast of a tropical cyclone.
The main theme will be continued mainly clear skies with passing
cirrus and a light northeast breeze through Monday. Irma`s early
work week track into the Appalachia will create a more offshore
pressure gradient across Texas that will back our winds more
northwesterly to southwesterly through mid-week. Late week winds
are forecast to return onshore in response to filling
southeastern U.S. pressure left in Irma`s wake and lowering West
Texas pressure. So...after several days of a resident sub-inch
pwat air mass...pw`s will pick back up going into next weekend.
This gradual or subtle moisture flux will be somewhat noticeable
in slightly higher afternoon humidities...low 50%s instead of
30%s. Advection of a cooler mid-level air mass tomorrow will
lower 85H temps from the mid to upper teens into the low teens by
tomorrow night...but the day-to-day diurnal curve will fluctuate
little as average middle 80 maxTs are forecast. Upper ridging
nudging in from the southwest will aid in increasing heights/thickness
values and this will be translated to lower 90 maxTs by late work
week. Cool overnights in the lower to middle 60s will warm into
the lower 70s by next weekend under a slight more moist/cloudy
sky. This post-Harvey dry spell continues as there is no
mentionable precipitation forecast during this period. 31
&&
.MARINE...
Winds are expected to increase to 15 to 20 knots across the Upper
Texas coastal waters this evening. Winds could then increase to
advisory levels on Sunday night and Monday. Adverse conditions due
to higher than normal tides and large swells could develop along the
coast. The swells from Irma as it moves up the coast of Florida
could arrive from across the Gulf of Mexico by late Sunday and
Sunday night. The latest MDL tide forecasts for Sunday and Sunday
night are actually about a half of a foot lower than the forecasts
from 12 hours ago. However, still expect actual tide levels to reach
to near 3.5 feet along areas from Freeport to High Island. With some
wave runup occurring due to the swells, the higher than normal tide
levels could then put water into low-lying areas of the Gulf-facing
beaches. For now will continue with a high rip current risk but may
need to upgrade to a beach hazards statement later tonight for
Sunday if the tides become higher than expected. 40
