000 FXUS64 KHGX 170305 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 1005 PM CDT Fri Mar 16 2018 .DISCUSSION... Only minor tweaks to the grids for the overnight hours with this update...mainly to match the ongoing trends. Mid/high clouds are continuing to move in from the west this evening as moisture con- tinues to deepen from the south/Gulf. As per the current obs the the gusty SW winds have begun to decouple and we are starting to see visibilities/ceilings fall over parts of the area. These low dewpoint spreads/lighter winds bode well for further fog develop- ment overnight through early Saturday morning (as covered by the current grids). 41 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 336 PM CDT Fri Mar 16 2018/ The disturbance bringing showers to the region this afternoon will exit the area and this will allow precip to end late this afternoon. Onshore winds will continue to draw gulf moisture into the region tonight. Winds will slacken tonight and the set up looks favorable for areas of fog to develop over much of SE TX. Radiation fog possible well inland and think some sea fog possible near the coast. Dew points in the mid/upper 60s tonight will keep temperatures on the warm side and min temps will only cool into the mid/upper 60s. The warm start to Saturday coupled with warm 850 mb temps should yield high temperatures in the lower and middle 80s. Any residual fog will dissipate by mid morning leaving skies mostly cloudy. Fcst soundings show a weak capping inversion in place but the cap could erode between 21-00z once temps warm into the lower 80s. Fcst soundings show PW values reaching 1.65 inches by late afternoon but also shows some dry air in the 85-70 mb layer. Will carry low end PoPs for now and see how things evolve tomorrow afternoon. A strong capping inversion develops Saturday night with very little moisture beneath the cap and a very dry conditions in the 900-600 mb layer. Will carry a slight chance of showers but most areas should remain dry. Potential again exists for patchy fog inland and a greater threat for sea fog near the coast. Sunday will be similar to Saturday as warm 850 temps and the warms start to the day will yield high temperatures in the lower 80s. A dry layer was noted between 850-700 mb with a strong cap weakening toward 00z. Most of the area will remain dry but can`t rule out some pesky showers. On Sunday night, models diverge a bit but it looks like a weak surface trough of low pressure or dry line will move into the region. The area is capped to the south but over the north, low level saturation deepens to 700 mb but forcing looks weak and upper level support also looks poor. Will carry chance PoPs over the north with lower PoPs south and along the coast on Sunday night. Monday looks dry and warm and RH values will fall to near 25 percent. Could have some elevated fire weather concerns mainly west of I-45. A secondary surge of colder air will come into SE TX Monday night and temperatures will trend cooler Tuesday and Wednesday. Surface high pressure will move east of the area by Thursday and a warm up will begin and persist through next Saturday. Moisture levels look benign so not expecting precip with the return of warmer temps. Another cold front will be possible by next Sunday, 43 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
