Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
838 PM CST Tue Feb 6 2018

.DISCUSSION...
At 8pm...the front stretches from roughly Columbus to Lufkin and
should continue to make very slow southward progress...probably
off the coast around 3 am or so. Look for periods of -ra (maybe
an embedded tstm) to persist along and behind the boundary tonight
and Wed. Texas Tech WRF seems to have a fairly good handle of the
precip depiction this far south. Think most everyone will eventually
see some rain, but more than likely just light nuisance coverage
compared to what some of the other guidance suggests. Fog has
mostly lifted across northern zones so have already cancelled the
advisory there. Coast remains socked in with sea fog, so will
maintain (and possibly extend) the dense fog advisory there until
the wind shift scatters it out. No major changes for the
update...mainly aligned grids w/ current wx and incorporated
trends noted above. 47

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 709 PM CST Tue Feb 6 2018/
AVIATION...
Messy TAFs will be continuing tonight...with fog/low
ceilings remaining an issue across SE TX through sunrise.
Conditions will be improving from the W/NW as cooler/drier air
filters into the area in the wake of a cold front. Scattered SHRAs
(and isolated TSRAs) will prevail ahead of this boundary, given
the warm/moist airmass already in place over the region. However,
the best instabilities for TSRA will likely be over our N/NE
counties (away from our TAF sites) so going to keep with the
VCSH/RA wording for now. Sea fog to remain the biggest issue for
GLS. 41
