000 FXUS64 KHGX 130517 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 1117 PM CST Fri Jan 12 2018 .AVIATION... N/NE winds continue to fall below 10kts across all TAF sites this evening besides GLS which has seen some gusts up to 20 kts right along the coast. Surface high pressure continues to build into the region tonight keeping skies clear, and VFR conditions are anticipated through the TAF period. Still expecting to see wind speeds pick up shortly after sunrise to around 10-15 kts with the help of daytime mixing. Hathaway && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 906 PM CST Fri Jan 12 2018/ UPDATE... Surface ridging nosing into Southeast Texas continues to result in decreasing winds this evening with 9 PM temperatures in the mid 30s to lower 40s. Clear skies will help promote excellent radiational cooling with a few locations north of a Burleson- Conroe-Cleveland line experiencing a brief, hard freeze tonight. The current forecast handles temperature trends well with most inland locations experiencing freezing or below freezing temperatures tonight. However, the currently forecast 1-2 hour drop to hard freeze temperatures (25 F or below) around sunrise is too brief to issue a Hard Freeze Warning at this time. Should temperatures begin to drop off faster than anticipated, a late evening update may be needed to issue a Hard Freeze Warning. Huffman PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 536 PM CST Fri Jan 12 2018/ AVIATION... VFR conditions will prevail through the TAF period as high pressure continues to build into SE TX this evening. Wind speeds have began to lower and should continue to fall below 10 kts across all TAF sites, shortly after sunset. The wind direction should switch from NNW to NE overnight, once again turn out of the N/NW come sunrise Saturday morning. Wind speeds again will approach 10 kts across most of the inland TAF sites Saturday morning, with 10-15 kts possible at coastal terminals such as GLS. Hathaway PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 336 PM CST Fri Jan 12 2018/ DISCUSSION... A dry, but cold weekend is in store across the region. Most inland locations will see freezing overnight temperatures tonight and Saturday night. A few areas northeast of a Burleson-Cleveland line may see readings briefly dip to around 24 degrees tonight. We`re not planning to issue a hard freeze warning at the moment, but will let the next shift reevaluate the trends. Winds gradually veer to an onshore direction on Sunday...allowing for a return of moisture to the region through the day Monday ahead of an Arctic front that`ll be diving southward through the Plains. Models are in fairly good agreement bringing the frontal boundary, and associated precipitation ahead of and behind it, into southeast Texas late Monday night and Tuesday. It`s still too early to accurately predict the thermal profile at the surface and aloft that far out, but chances are that portions of the area may see precip transition from liquid to frozen at some point as temperatures fall through the day. Expect changes to the forecast as time gets closer, details become more clear (hopefully), and forecast confidence improves. Precip should come to an end Tuesday evening. Cold temperatures will linger through the midweek time period, followed by gradual moderating trend going into the weekend as onshore winds resume. 47 MARINE... Gusty NNW winds will continue to gradually diminish and become NE through Saturday. A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect this afternoon, with caution flags likely needed through Saturday. Winds gradually become light onshore again by Sunday night ahead of the next cold front, which should push off the coast around Monday night. Gusty NE winds are expected in the wake of this front, and an SCA will likely be required Tuesday. Winds gradually become onshore again by Thursday. The Low Water Advisory has been extended until 4 AM CST as water levels remain over 2.5 feet below normal at Morgan`s Point. Conditions should gradually improve as winds slacken and turn more N to NE tonight. 11 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
