Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
746 PM CDT Wed Mar 21 2018

.DISCUSSION...
Dry air still firmly entrenched over the northeast areas with
light northeast or easterly winds. Over the southwest half of the
region southeasterly flow ongoing though light as high pressure
over East Texas slides away to the east. Weak pressure gradient
tonight will keep winds light or calm and clear skies should allow
for excellent radiational cooling.

Warm again tomorrow afternoon with above normal temperatures and
still mainly cirrus in the morning with a few cumulus dotting the
areas skies in the afternoon.

Thanks going out from the staff here to the CRP office for backing
us up so we could host the Integrated Warning Team meeting.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 703 PM CDT Wed Mar 21 2018/

AVIATION...
VFR expected through the period with SCT-BKN cirrus around FL250
this evening and tonight. Light and variable winds overnight will
become southeasterly and increase to 10-15 knots mid to late
morning. Stronger gusts near 20 knots will be possible during the
afternoon. Moisture return as a result of southeast winds tomorrow
may result in a cumulus field around FL035 developing late in the
TAF period.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED Issued by National Weather Service CORPUS CHRISTI TX/

DISCUSSION...

High pressure over the area will keep dry and mild weather for the
next several days. As the high moves off to the east, another
disturbance coming out of the Rockies will push another front
through the region early next week, with increased rain chances
and potential for thunderstorms.

SHORT TERM [Tonight through Friday]...

Winds decouple once again after sunset tonight, with just some
high clouds between us and clear skies overnight. Onshore flow
resumes in earnest Thursday afternoon, but with dry air currently
in place it will take a while to moisten up the atmosphere enough
for isolated streamer showers. In the meantime, that same return
flow will kick up winds across Southeast Texas, with gusts to 20
mph or so Thursday afternoon and again Friday.

Temperatures will be relatively cool again tonight with clear
skies, light winds and dry air in place. Temperatures will
moderate on into the weekend as the Gulf brings more moisture to
the area.

LONG TERM [Friday Night through Wednesday]...

Moisture will continue to increase over the weekend and early next
week out ahead of a cold front. Temperatures aloft indicate some
capping as PWATs increase, so will maintain low chance pops
through the weekend. Rain chances increase significantly as an
upper disturbance drags a cold front through Texas. Have trended
closer to the ECMWF solution that focuses highest rain chances for
Tuesday and beyond as the cold front stalls over central Texas and
upper disturbances work to remove any convective inhibition that
remains. Models still are not in perfect alignment, so some future
readjustments of strength and timing are expected before the event
begins.
