000 FXUS64 KHGX 290242 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 942 PM CDT Sat Oct 28 2017 .DISCUSSION... Skies have cleared out. Temperatures falling quickly in very dry airmass. Will likely see an hour of freezing temperatures near Crockett but otherwise temperatures should level off at 33-36 in the rural areas and warmer in the Metro. Winds have nearly decoupled inland and should in the next hour or two. Winds over the coastal waters should gradually lessen and seas subsiding as well. Will let SCA rollover to SCEC for the early morning hours. 45 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 730 PM CDT Sat Oct 28 2017/ AVIATION... VFR. Light northerly winds overnight becoming calm. Southwest winds 5-10kts developing after 14z over most of the area. A few patches of CI possible. 45 PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 700 PM CDT Sat Oct 28 2017/ DISCUSSION... Dry conditions, calm winds and mostly clear to partly cloudy skies will allow for very good radiational cooling overnight as surface high pressure settles into the area. Much of inland Southeast Texas can expect low temperatures to bottom out in the 30s before sunrise which could be near record low readings. The current forecast package looks right on track, and no significant changes are anticipated on the evening update. 42 PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 358 PM CDT Sat Oct 28 2017/ DISCUSSION... Dry and much cooler weather has settled in across Southeast Texas today behind yesterday`s cold front. Visible satellite imagery shows a few mid and high level clouds streaming across the region as the base of an upper level trough continues to nudge eastward and expect at least periods of thin cloud cover to drift across the region tonight as this upper trough swings east of the region. As surface high pressure centered near Abilene this afternoon slides across the region tonight, a nearly non-existent surface pressure gradient will result in calm winds across the region. Dry conditions, calm winds and mostly clear to partly cloudy skies will allow for temperatures to radiationally cool into the 30s and lower across much of the region tonight, with a few locations along and east of a Madisonville-Conroe-Cleveland line possibly even seeing freezing to just below freezing temperatures for a brief period of time. However, the aforementioned passing clouds may result in less than perfect radiational cooling conditions and have low confidence on the duration of freezing temperatures in this area. As a result, have opted to hold off on any kind of Freeze Warning as the duration of freezing temperatures is expected to be too short for widespread impacts (likely sometime in the hours around sunrise) but will highlight this risk area with a Special Weather Statement. In addition to the potential for freezing temperatures, record low temperatures will also be a possibility in the Houston metro Sunday morning. For more information on these records, please see the climate section included at the end of this discussion. Northwest flow aloft becomes established tomorrow as the upper trough exits the region, allowing dry conditions to continue. Expect temperatures to warm a few degrees higher than today into the upper 60s-lower 70s as the departure of the surface high results in light southwesterly winds developing across the region. The warming trend continues into Monday as highs climb into the mid 70s to lower 80s, with southerly winds drawing Gulf moisture back into the region. Only expect enough moisture return Monday to result in a few clouds, but it will allow for scattered showers to spread into Southeast Texas by Tuesday. The flow aloft flattens during the mid-week period as a strong upper low drops to the Great Lakes out of Canada and a compact disturbance now 400 miles off the California coast reaches southern California. As a sub-tropical jet slides across Texas in the quasi-zonal flow aloft, widespread forcing for ascent will result in scattered showers and thunderstorms developing each day Wednesday through the end of the week. Expect coverage to be enhanced by passing disturbances in the flow aloft, likely on Wednesday when energy from the compact disturbance off the California coast arrives. Similar to what the overnight package noted, will have to keep an eye on the mid-week period for locally heavy rain potential as deep Gulf moisture (GFS forecast precipitable water values in the 1.7-1.9 inch range) surges back into the region. A secondary disturbance looks to arrive sometime Friday/this weekend, resulting in another round of increased shower and thunderstorm coverage. Given timing differences in medium range guidance on the arrival of this feature, have kept low rain chances through the weekend. Huffman MARINE... The large high pressure cell over central Texas will expand eastward and envelope eastern Texas and surrounding coastal waters through Sunday. The result will be to loosen the offshore pressure gradient and take Saturday afternoon`s moderate to strong northerly flow to below caution levels near sunrise. Responding sea heights will gradually fall from 3-4 feet nearshore/6-7 feet offshore to below areawide 4 feet by late morning Sunday. Winds will significantly weaken and become variable to onshore tomorrow afternoon through early Monday. Onshore flow resumes Monday morning and western water winds may strengthen to near caution criteria Tuesday. A mid week weak upper level trough passage may push a weak surface front into northeastern Texas and slightly back surface onshore winds more easterly...increase Tuesday afternoon through Thursday shower and thunderstorm chances. 31 FIRE WEATHER... The cooler and drier backing air mass behind yesterday`s frontal passage has elevated the potential for hazardous fire weather conditions. Afternoon relative humidities falling into the 20%s will aid in further curing quick-burning/igniting fuels (grasses). North winds will significantly weaken tonight and remain weak southwest tomorrow afternoon. Onshore flow resumes Monday and this will steadily increase moisture into mid week. The approach and passage of a shallow upper trough may advance a weak surface boundary into northern Texas. A higher probability of Tuesday through Thursday precipitation in the vicinity of this boundary laying within a more humid air mass. 31 CLIMATE... Record low temperatures may be tied or broken on October 29. A listing of current record low temperatures for the primary climate sites are listed below.
