000 FXUS64 KHGX 220315 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 915 PM CST Sun Jan 21 2018 .NEAR TERM [Through Monday]... No major changes were made to the forecast this evening. Current radar imagery shows scattered showers splattered across much of the region tonight. The surface low associated with the cold front is currently situated over northeastern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas. This has left the area with the best surface convergence, along with upper level divergence well to the north of even our northern most counties from Burleson to Houston. AMDAR soundings still reveal a strong cap in place between 800-700mb this evening, which has helped to hinder thunderstorm development. Forecast soundings continue to indicate the best moisture available through 06Z, with precipitable water values ranging between 1.0-1.3 inches. Low- level lapse rates and K-index values also decrease after 06Z. Therefore, our best chance for an isolated thunderstorm would be most likely before 06Z tonight. Short term guidance such as the HRRR and Texas Tech WRF have begun to back off on thunderstorm coverage as this line of precipitation slides east of I-45. The main front will eventually overtake the dryline/Pacific front, as it continues to push westward across east Texas this evening between 06-09Z. Nine o`clock observations have temperatures and dew points in the middle to upper 60s across much of the SE TX. Onshore winds will begin to veer overnight and eventually turn out of the northwest by sunrise increasing to between 10 to 15 MPH. Clear skies are in store behind the front with Monday morning temperatures beginning in the upper 40s to upper 50s. As drier air filters into the region, high temperatures will reach into the upper 60s to lower 70s late Monday afternoon. Hathaway && .PREV DISCUSSION /Issued 549 PM CST Sun Jan 21 2018/... .AVIATION [00Z TAF Issuance]... Radar this evening shows a smattering of showers across SE Texas that will intermittently pass over terminals. This will continue through the night as a Pacific front pushes through the area. The front should reach KCLL/UTS around 06-07Z, KIAH/KHOU around 08-10Z and then the coast around 12Z. Ceilings should drop to MVFR levels ahead of the front and there may be a brief period of IFR but confidence in IFR is low. Front should feature a line of showers but full TSRA are yet to be determined. AMDAR soundings still show an elevated mixed layer around 800-700mb which would need to erode before deep convection can form. TAFs will go with VCTS but likely just have a line of showers as HRRR and a few WRF runs indicate. TSRA may need to be put in for KCLL and KUTS but those sites may even be just far enough south from upper level forcing that the cap will still hold. Ceilings improve behind the front with NW winds which become gusty during the day. Overpeck .MARINE... Periods of fog (some dense) will continue across the bays and nearshore waters until the front pushes off the coast early Monday morning. Moderate onshore flow ahead of this front is also producing 15 to 20 knot winds and 6 foot seas in the offshore waters, and caution flags are currently in effect. Expect some shower development out ahead of the front this evening and tonight, with the front itself dragging a thin line of showers and thunderstorms through the waters Monday morning. This will be accompanied by a gradual wind shift to the northwest. Caution flags will likely be required Monday into Monday night. Winds gradually become NE to E by midweek before returning to SE by the weekend. Sea fog could become an issue again by the end of the week as deeper moisture moves back over the waters. Another much stronger front should push off the coast next weekend. 11 .FIRE WEATHER... A cold front will pass through the region overnight tonight, bringing drier and breezy conditions in its wake. RHs on Monday afternoon could fall into the mid to upper 20s with winds near 15 mph. This will create elevated fire conditions across the area for Monday. Tuesday will be just as dry but with much lighter winds. Moisture will begin filtering back over the area Wednesday. 11 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
