000 FXUS64 KHGX 010152 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 852 PM CDT Tue Oct 31 2017 .UPDATE... A bit of a break in the rains across the Metro area as cluster of storms along and south of the front lifts out to the northeast at 8 pm. But as the LLJ intensifies overnight and the front waffles back and forth am expecting the coverage of the showers to increase mainly after 9-10 pm in the southwest counties and spread northeastward. Will have the concerns of brief heavy downpours (2"/hr quite reasonable given the speed of motion) and the very low probability of tornadoes. Any storms near coming in off the Gulf and nearing the frontal boundary will need to be watches as LL shear increases toward midnight. Main threat though should be brief heavy downpours. Updated grids based on current obs/trends and short term guidance. 45 && .DISCUSSION... && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 728 PM CDT Tue Oct 31 2017/ AVIATION... SHRA with embedded TSRA continue to move northeast across most of the Southeast Texas terminals tonight, save GaLS. Expect rain to persist at CLL, UTS, and CXO for most of the night as best lift remains north of Interstate 10 with a secondary round of SHRA developing 04-06Z along a stalled boundary stretching from VCT- IAH-JAS as a 30-40 knot low level jet sets up. Embedded TSRA will be possible Thursday morning after 10Z along and south of this boundary. Ample atmospheric moisture will result in IFR to MVFR visibility and ceiling restrictions should terminal impacts occur. As an upper level trough clears the region after 12Z Thursday, expect rain to taper off and ceilings to lift to VFR from northwest to southeast late morning into the afternoon as increasingly southwest flow aloft brings in drier air. Otherwise, north to northeast winds 5 knots or less north of the boundary to south to southeast winds less than 10 knots south of the boundary will gradually become southwest and increase to 10-15 knots by the end of the TAF period. Huffman PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 342 PM CDT Tue Oct 31 2017/ DISCUSSION... Clustering (primarily) rain cells progressively moving northeast across Wharton...northern Fort Bend and western Harris Counties this hour. There are a few embedded thunderstorms within this activity as it travels off at around 20 mph. Rainfall amounts have ranged from between a half an inch to two inches...locally higher amounts exceeding 3 inches. Although most everyone in southeast Texas will pick up measurable rain through tomorrow... but it does not look like Halloween night will be a wash out. Certainly have a plan to quickly seek cover if out tonight as there are good chances that there will be vicinity showers and/or storms. The main threat will be from strong thunderstorms...a quick 1 to 2 inches may create nuisance flooding of low-lying areas and roadways around metro. Also be aware and listen for thunder as there will be lightning. When the thunder roars...go indoors! Overcast and occasionally wet with early evening temperatures in the upper 50s to lower 60s north of the stationary boundary draped over the central forecast area...upper 60s south of the front towards the coast. All and all...with the rain and overcast...it will be cooler than it was a year ago when it was in the 80s at trick or treat time. A somewhat messy pattern to evolve overnight that may wreck havoc on this short term forecast. All of the ingredients are there for a wet night/early Wednesday. A series of upstream shortwave disturbance passages may add that extra lift...but the best focus for convective clustering will occur along wherever this stationary boundary sets up. Current forecast has the bulk of the rain (1 to 3 inches with locally 3 to 4 inches) to occur through Wednesday morning. Wednesday afternoon is tricky as POPS will be dependent upon the eventual movement of the boundary and any precedent overnight activity. Rain chances should significantly decline from west-to- east through the afternoon as mid to upper level flow veers more westerly with the eastward advancement of a very shallow upper trough across the Great Lakes region. The passage of a couple Red River shortwave troughs thursday and Friday should remain far enough north to not really impact our region. Southern-based upper ridging expanding north out of Mexico should suppress any mentionable late week/weekend rainfall. As all of this unfolds through mid to late week...southeastern Texas will be witness to subsequent day warming back into the middle 80s/upper 60 to lower 70 minimum temperatures. So...we will enter November on an unsettled note and end the week unseasonably warm. 31 MARINE... Look for increasing onshore winds and building seas tonight ahead of an approaching upper level disturbance. Will be hoisting the Small Craft Advisory flags offshore this evening. Showers and thunderstorms should increase in areal coverage late tonight and into Wednesday morning then wind down by early afternoon. Onshore winds and seas will begin to diminish, but remain between 10-15 knots for most of the week. 47 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
