000 FXUS64 KHGX 180300 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 900 PM CST Sat Feb 17 2018 .UPDATE... The main update with the forecast tonight is to account for a farther south progression of a cold front than previously advertised. The KHGX radar shows this boundary stretching from Vanderbilt to Bonney to Texas City and with the KHGX VAD wind profiler showing very light winds above the surface doing little to inhibit the southward movement, expect density differences to drive this boundary off the coast within the next 2-3 hours. As this front cleared the NWS Houston office, the temperature dropped 7 degrees within 30 minutes. Given these short-term trends, have lowered low temperatures a few degrees into the upper 40s to near 60. A brief northerly wind shift associated with this boundary moving off the coast may result in a brief respite in sea fog (detailed in the marine section below) before winds veer to the east sometime in the 3-6 AM timeframe. SPC mesoanalysis shows the 925 MB front located farther north, roughly north of Interstate 10, and convergence along this feature may produce isolated to scattered showers through the overnight hours north of a Columbus to Liberty line. Patchy radiation fog may also be possible as dew point depressions decrease overnight through mid morning, with best chances west of a Madisonville to Katy to San Luis Pass line. Huffman && .MARINE... A weak boundary continues to move toward the coast. Models are not in great agreement but the latest HRRR shows the boundary making it into the coastal waters before becoming diffuse later tonight. North winds will develop in the wake of the front and slightly drier air will likely make it into the waters. The drier air will help erode the fog and the north winds should push any remaining fog away from the coast. There should be some brief improvement in visibility between 04-08z. East winds will develop after midnight and become SE on Sunday. Fog is expected to redevelop between 08-10z and persist intermittently through Sunday morning. Onshore winds will strengthen Sunday afternoon as low pressure over eastern Wyoming deepens. The low will push east on Monday/Tuesday and drag a cold front into the state. The front will probably stall and onshore winds will persist into Wednesday. Periods of sea fog will likely hang around during the first half of next as warm and moist air continues to flow over the cooler shelf waters. The long S-SE fetch will bring slightly warmer water toward the Upper Texas Coast and this may mitigate the threat for dense sea fog early next week. 43 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 556 PM CST Sat Feb 17 2018/ AVIATION... A weak front extended from about Liberty to downtown Houston and then along the I-69 corridor to about Edna. Showers were beginning to develop along this feature. Short term guidance shows the boundary remaining nearly stationary and gradually becoming diffuse. Low ceilings expected to develop areawide as deep mstr builds beneath a capping inversion. LIFR/IFR cigs expected late tonight into Sunday morning with a gradual improvement to MVFR by afternoon. Sea fog will be an issue along the coast and visibility will fall below a mile at times at KGLS and probably KLBX. 43 $$ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
