000 FXUS64 KHGX 210300 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 900 PM CST Sat Jan 20 2018 .UPDATE... Current radar imagery shows a few light showers situated over Fort Bend, Harris, and Liberty counties with the occasional drizzle across the coastal tier of counties. As the next cold front approaches the region, the potential for shower development will begin in our northern most counties from Houston to Madison to Burleson during the overnight hours. Otherwise, shower coverage should continue to diminish late Saturday into early Sunday across I-10 and southward. Cloud cover will continue to thicken across the region and into Sunday morning. Minor changes to the forecast tonight to account for trends in observations for cloud cover and temperatures. Lowered minimum temperatures by a degree or two tonight in the northern counties where cloud cover is not as thick, and raised temperatures across the Houston Metro where cloud decks have filled in becoming overcast. Dewpoints have rebounded nicely with the help of onshore flow, and have nudged up dewpoints slightly to account for current observations. With this return moisture, the threat for sea fog is present again this evening across the bays and nearshore waters. Specifically, patchy to dense fog conditions are possible tonight in Galveston Bay. Areas of fog are expected across SE TX tonight, with the best chance for development again in our western zones. Hathaway && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 547 PM CST Sat Jan 20 2018/ AVIATION [00Z TAF Issuance]... Radar showing a weak training line of showers from KLBX to east of KHOU. Showers may go right over KLBX and cause lower visibility during rain along with lower ceilings. As a whole ceilings are sitting at MVFR/VFR levels with the expectation of BKN/OVC MVFR ceilings developing in the next 3 to 6 hours. KHGX VAD wind profile shows basically 20-25 knots through the lowest few thousand feet of the boundary layer. Model guidance shows LLJ increasing to around 30-35 knots tonight over the next 6 hours. SFC winds should also remain around 7-10kts across the area with very little if any decoupling. If this occurs, ceilings will likely stay in the low MVFR maybe high IFR categories and visibility from fog may only be 3-6SM. As such most TAFs have ceilings dropping to MVFR with maybe a few hours of IFR during the daybreak hours handled with a TEMPO group. Winds then mix down late morning hour so expecting tomorrow to be windy with ceilings increasing to MVFR/VFR levels. In the extended portion of the TAFS, cold front expected Sunday night should be closer to the 06-12Z Monday time frame so may need a line for FROPA in the IAH TAF for the 06Z TAF update. Overpeck PREV DISCUSSION /Issued 331 PM CST Sat Jan 20 2018/... Warmer and humid conditions with periods of rain and fog will continue across Southeast Texas through Sunday before a cold front ushers in drier and somewhat cooler air Monday. The KHGX radar this afternoon shows a thin band of showers stretching from near Moss Hill to San Leon. Within the band, isolated one-half inch to one inch amounts have been observed as this activity continues to move towards the northeast. Behind the band, warm air advection has led to not only renewed development of isolated showers but has promoted afternoon temperatures into the low to mid 70s southwest of the Houston metro. This warm air advection will keep the potential for a few showers in the forecast through Sunday as well as only allow overnight lows to fall into the lower 60s. Fog is expected again inland overnight but stronger winds may preclude or shorten any dense fog development. Afternoon water vapor imagery shows an upper trough stretching from the Great Basin down towards Baja California and as this feature reaches the Southern Plains Sunday, a lee surface low will result in breezy southerly winds during the day Sunday as an associated Pacific front pushes across North and Central Texas and towards the region. The arrival of a 120 knot upper level jet streak Sunday afternoon will not only help the lee cyclone eject across the Southern Plains, but will provide enough lift for thunderstorms to develop along the Pacific front as it slides into the region. While the best jet dynamics associated with this feature look to remain across North Texas and the Ark-La-Tex, mid- level lapse rates steepening to near 7 C/km indicate the potential for enough updraft acceleration to promote a gusty wind threat. This is contingent on thunderstorms being able to develop, however, as increasing deep southwesterly flow may result in a building cap and cloud cover may further inhibit instability... ultimately limiting how far south along the Pacific front activity is able to build. As of now, expect the best potential for any strong to possibly severe thunderstorms to be north of a College Station to Livingston line. This aforementioned capping may only allow a thin band of showers to develop farther south along the Pacific front before it is overtaken by a secondary cold front Sunday night. Temperatures Sunday afternoon are expected to rise into the low to mid 70s ahead of both fronts. Expect the cold front to move off the coast Monday morning and shunt any remaining showers or thunderstorms into the coast with it, leaving breezy and drier conditions in its wake on Monday. Highs Monday through mid-week will remain in the mid to upper 60s, moderating only slightly into the lower 60s as a backdoor front arrives on Wednesday. Rain chances don`t return to the forecast until the beginning of the weekend as onshore flow allows for Gulf moisture to return back into the region. Huffman MARINE... Periods of showers and sea fog are expected across the waters until a cold front pushes off the coast late Sunday night/early Monday morning. The sea fog may become dense at times. Caution flags will likely be required both for moderate onshore flow ahead of the front as well as moderate offshore winds in the wake of the front. NW winds in the immediate wake of the front will gradually become ENE by Tuesday. Caution flags may be required at times throughout the week. Another front will push off the coast next weekend. 11 FIRE WEATHER... A cold front will push through the region Sunday night, bringing dry and breezy conditions in its wake. Relative humidity could get below 30% with sustained NW winds of 10 to 15 mph Monday afternoon. Tuesday will likely be dry as well, but winds should be much lighter. Finer fuels are already pretty dry across the region following this week`s hard freeze. Although a Red Flag Warning will likely not be required, elevated fire conditions will be a concern for Monday. 11 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
