Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
818 PM CST Tue Nov 28 2017

.DISCUSSION...
At 8pm, a cool front was slowly making its way thru ncntl Tx. This
weak boundary and associated slightly drier air probably won`t
begin making its way across the area until Wednesday morning.
Winds has gone light ahead of this feature. This combined with
the mclear skies & higher sfc dewpoints point towards some fog
development across the region. T/Td spreads have already narrowed
to within 5 degrees at most locations, so it probably won`t be
too long before we start seeing that happen. Guidance suggests
some dense fog is a possibility overnight, even in northern
reaches of the bays, into the mid morning hours Wed. So the
morning commute may be impacted by that. Can`t totally rule out
some isolated showers mainly across extreme eastern parts of the
CWA in association with a narrow tongue of higher PW`s situated
there.

Otherwise, it looks like a mostly uneventful & dry forecast thru
the weekend into early next week. Look for another weak reinforcing
front/airmass to filter into the area Thurs, but even that probably
won`t be enough to drop temps back to climatological norms (mid
40s/mid 60s). Onshore winds resume by early next week as high
pressure moves off to the east.

Though subtle model differences remain in regards to the extended
part of the forecast, it appears we`ll eventually get into a
messier southwest flow aloft as an upper low drops down the west
coast into ncntrl Mexico toward midweek. Rain chances should
increase next Wed-Fri depending on its eastward progression. 47

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 610 PM CST Tue Nov 28 2017/
AVIATION...
Slightly deeper moisture over the eastern half of the CWFA along
with light winds/mostly clear skies will make for very favorable
conditions for fog development overnight. Did not make any major
changes with the previous TAFS for tonight given the expectation
of IFR conditions developing around sunrise. A weak front should
move into the area early Weds morning...bringing with it slightly
drier/cooler air by mid/late Weds morning. VFR conditions are
expected by the afternoon on into tomorrow night. 41
