000 FXUS64 KHGX 180456 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 1156 PM CDT Sat Mar 17 2018 .AVIATION... S/W departing the northern areas with weak PVA along the north side of the speed max still helping with weak lift and elevated SHRA/isolated TSRA over the northern areas. Expect these to continue to weaken and have not jumped on the HRRR solutions for these to intensify and dive southeastward. MVFR/IFR deck should continue to expand northward tonight with a delay compared to last night. Sea fog gradually getting thicker near the coast. GLS should be down to LIFR by 08z if not sooner. Showers and isolated thunderstorms tomorrow with another s/w that rides in from the west but confidence is still fairly low with a fairly stout cap that blankets the area in the morning but with temperatures reaching the 82-83 degree range the cap should have nearly eroded (19-21z). After the showers depart in the early evening will be looking for the Pacific cold front/pre-frontal trough to swing winds to the west around 08z at IAH with the potential for SHRA again. 45 .MARINE... Marine dense fog advisory out shortly. 45 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1005 PM CDT Sat Mar 17 2018/ DISCUSSION... Did do an update to the grids earlier this evening...to account for the convection developing out west that was headed this way. Activity to the north did hold together and is currently moving across our northern CWA. The storms out west, however, were not quite as potent. But at this time, trends are indicating things are winding down (with the loss of heating). Will likely be mak- ing just a few more tweaks to clean up the wording. The rest of the the forecast looks good. 41 PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 351 PM CDT Sat Mar 17 2018/ Another warm and humid day across SE TX. GLS is within one degree of tying a record high temperature. Clouds have been slow to clear this afternoon but with another hour or so of heating, it`ll still be possible to generate some showers. An upper level disturbance over Central Texas will move east tonight and this feature will generate scattered showers and thunderstorms over mainly the northern third of SE TX. The best chance for storms over the north will be between 9 PM and 2 AM. SPC has brought slight risk for severe storms into the CWA. The 12z ARW and NMM are more aggressive with precipitation working its way into the northern zones tonight. Still have some significant concerns that strong capping will limit the convective potential. Areas to the south, including the city of Houston, feel capping will hold and only weak showers will be possible tonight. Water temps have warmed a few degrees since yesterday but SREF ensembles still show some potential for sea fog tonight and will continue to mention fog near the coast and over the coastal waters. On Sunday, capping should limit precipitation to just some weak showers in the morning but fcst soundings show the cap weakening between 18-21z, convective temps in the lower 80s and PW values increasing to 1.55 inches. SE TX will also lie in weak RRQ by afternoon and this feature might provide enough lift to generate some afternoon shra/tsra. A dry line or surface trough will move though SE TX on Sunday night and skies will begin to clear from west to east. The drier air will allow for some cooler temps over the western half of the CWA. On Monday, drier air in place will allow for a large diurnal range in temperatures and high temps will warm into the lower 80`s. RH values will plummet with the warm daytime temps and dew points in the 30`s. Min RH values will probably fall into the teens and W-NW winds will be around 15 mph with higher gusts. Elevated fire weather conditions will be possible on Monday and a Red Flag Warning may be required. Elevated fire weather conditions will remain possible on Tuesday as a secondary surge of cooler air filters into the region. Winds look a bit higher on Tuesday but temperatures look cooler and RH looks a bit higher. High pressure will build into Texas on Tuesday and settle over SE TX by Wednesday morning. This feature will bring clear skies, low humidity and seasonal temperatures. The high moves east on Wednesday and onshore winds will return by Wednesday night with onshore winds continuing into next weekend. A subtle warm up will begin on Thursday with temps again in the lower 80s by next weekend as weak upper level ridging develops over northern Mexico. 43 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
