000 FXUS64 KHGX 132329 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 529 PM CST Sat Jan 13 2018 .DISCUSSION... High pressure over NW Texas will bring generally clear skies to the region tonight. Could get a brief window of cirrus between 09-15z but VFR conditions will prevail. Winds remain light tonight and will veer to the E and eventually SE by late Sunday afternoon but wind speeds generally expected to remain at or below 6 knots. 43 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 338 PM CST Sat Jan 13 2018/ DISCUSSION... ..Today through Tuesday Night... Quiet and cool weather this weekend will gradually warm to the upper 50s to mid 60s by Monday as high pressure slides east and onshore flow returns. Low temperatures tonight are forecast to dip below freezing across most of the inland areas, but a hard freeze is not anticipated. Rain chances increase Monday evening through Tuesday as a cold front pushes through the area. The predominant precipitation type is expected to be rain, however there is still a slight chance of some wintry precipitation mixing in across the northern parts of the area early Tuesday morning. At this point it`s still a little to early to nail down precipitation type, and for now all types of frozen precipitation (snow, sleet, and freezing rain) are on the table. It really comes down to how fast the cold air sweeps in behind the front vs how quickly the post-frontal precip ends. The ECMWF is faster with the front bringing it through more overnight Monday night, vs the GFS/NAM solutions of a Tuesday morning frontal passage. Previous ECMWF run showed faster drying behind the front in addition to being quicker than the others, however, the latest run is showing some lingering precipitation well after the freezing line passes. Although confidence is slowly increasing that frozen precipitation is possible, overall chances are still fairly low. Right now, the best chance for frozen precipitation is along and north of a Columbus-Conroe-Livingston line. If frozen precip falls, light accumulations (<0.1 inch) will be possible. With temperatures falling throughout the day Tuesday and into Tuesday night, any wet surfaces remaining will likely freeze with low temperatures in the low 20s to low 30s Tuesday night. A Hard Freeze Warning may be required for portions of the area. 11 ..Wednesday through Saturday... High pressure builds in Wednesday behind the cold front and will quickly progress eastward across the Central Plains. Onshore flow and moisture will return Thursday as the surface high moves over the Tennessee Valley. An upper-level shortwave trough moves through the area Thursday night with strong warm air advection and lift, so precipitation is expected Thursday night through Friday. The biggest issue is if the precipitation begins early enough on Thursday to catch the below freezing temperatures, freezing rain is possible along the northernmost counties. Confidence is currently low enough that no fzra was included in the grids, but it is something we will watch out for moving forward. Behind the shortwave, a gradual warming trend will continue through the weekend before the next cold front passes on Sunday. 22 MARINE... Will be keeping the Low Water Advisory up through the evening hours given the combination of moderate NE flow and low astronomical tide times helping to keep MLLW levels at or around -1.00 feet. Elevated winds and seas have also persisted over the offshore waters and will also maintain the SCEC for these locations into this evening. As high pressure continues to move off to the east...we will be seeing a slow veering of winds to the east overnight through tomorrow. Generally light SE winds are expected across the coastal waters Sun night and should persist through Mon. Models remain on track with a strong cold front moving into the Gulf Tues afternoon. Gusty north/ northeasterly winds in the wake of the boundary will likely require Small Craft Advisories Tues night into Weds morning. The associated arctic high building down from the Plains is forecast to linger in/ around the Middle MS Valley region through the rest of the week and its proximity should keep moderate/strong east winds in place. 41 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
