000 FXUS64 KHGX 192353 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 653 PM CDT Mon Mar 19 2018 .AVIATION... VFR. Very warm and dry across the region. Dry thunderstorms have departed to the east of GLS. Lingering cirrus moving over the region. WNW-NW winds gusting to around 20kts at 23z will be relaxing a little this evening then bump back up as reinforcing cold front in N TX arrives after midnight. Gusty NW winds tomorrow morning gradually relaxing in the afternoon. 45 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 259 PM CDT Mon Mar 19 2018/ DISCUSSION... Temperatures were very warm this afternoon and Galveston established a new record high temperature for the day. A combination of a warm start to the day and a west wind will generally deliver very warm temps to the region. At 2 PM, a cold front extended from low pressure over So Missouri to near Texarkana to near Rockport to Laredo. Radar is showing a few showers/thunderstorms along the middle Texas coast as lift from the front coupled with PW values near an inch and daytime heating trigger precipitation. The experimental HRRR and TT WRF both show some showers moving up the coast late this afternoon into this evening so have added isolated shra/tsra to areas mainly east of US Highway 59 but showers should mainly be along the coast. Once the front clears the coast, skies will clear area wide. Winds will decouple inland and the dry air in place will allow for ideal radiational cooling. Low temps by Tuesday morning will cool into the mid and upper 40s. The rest of the week looks quiet with seasonal temperatures. The surface high will settle over SE TX on Wednesday morning with the coolest temperatures of the week occurring that morning. The high moves east of the region by Wednesday evening and onshore winds will return and bring a slow increase in low level moisture. Winds will increase Thursday night into Friday as low pressure in the lee of the Rockies deepens. Upper level ridging over northern Mexico will amplify and expand over the state and suppress rain chances through Friday night. Low level moisture will deepen enough that a few showers will be possible by Saturday under a strengthening capping inversion. The cap will remain in place through Monday albeit slightly weaker as the upper level ridge is displaced to the east as a deepening upper trough moves into the southern Rockies. The middle of next week is looking wet as the upper level trough moves very slowly across the southern plains. 43 MARINE... A surge of cooler/drier air will arrive overnight across the coastal waters. Offshore flow should increase after midnight and to near 20kt in the Gulf toward 3am or so. Will be issuing a Small Craft Advisory for the Gulf waters starting then. Winds will slowly diminish in the late morning and afternoon hours. Onshore winds will resume Wednesday as high pressure moves off to the east. As lee side pressures fall, winds will strengthen across a lengthening fetch and seas will build going into the weekend. Combination of SCEC/SCA flags may be needed starting as early as Thurs. 47 FIRE WEATHER... Elevated fire weather conditions will continue through Tuesday. In the very short-term we need to keep an eye for any lightning strikes from the isolated cells developing to the southwest of the area. Some Hires guidance takes some of these cells across southern parts of the region later this afternoon. Any sparks could quickly start a fire. Very dry conditions are in place across the region with current RH`s between 12-25%. Though winds are gusting at times, speeds are mostly below widespread Red flag Warning criteria. Winds should rapidly diminish toward sunset. Speeds will increase once again by mid Tuesday morning with mixing behind a reinforcing surge of a drier airmass. Northerly winds will be stronger than what we saw today and widespread 13g23kt speeds can be expected. However, with the cooler temps, RH`s look to bottom out between 25-35%. Still needs to be monitored closely... 47 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
