.UPDATE...
Based on radar trends and loss of daytime heating have taken
precipitation out for the night. Have left patchy fog mention in
for west central zones...consistent with short range ensemble
forecasts showing potential for lower visibilities there. No
changes to temperature or sky forecast for the overnight.

&&

.AVIATION [00Z TAF Issuance]...

So far, much quieter weather across SE TX this evening. The loss
of daytime heating helping things to settle down. Drier air will
continue filter down into the region from the north/west through
the next few days so, will be keeping with the mostly VFR trends.

654 PM CDT Sat May 26 2018

.AVIATION [00Z TAF Issuance]...
Widely scattered thunderstorms have managed to develop across the
southern half of the CWA this afternoon along the seabreeze. Will
also have to keep an eye to the east as outflows from storms near
the Sabine River move in this direction. Did add VCTS for IAH and
keep the TEMPO group in for HOU for the next hour or so as a pre-
caution. Otherwise, will keep with the brief lower CIG trends for
overnight/early Sun morning. Given the events today, not going to
question the possibility of scattered TSRA tomorrow afternoon too
much at this time. 41

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION /Issued 353 PM CDT Sat May 26 2018/...


Lower level high pressure planted over the northwestern Gulf with
the very slight northwestward movement of Alberto and southwestern
upper ridging keeping eastern Texas under a pronounced northerly
flow pattern. Warm and muggy overnight conditions will be more
tolerable per an evening southerly breeze. As winds weaken below 5
knots under mainly clear skies...the probabilities for rural county
fog will be on the rise. Early Sunday patchy fog development will
likely be focused just north and west of Galveston Bay (sans the
metro area of course). As Alberto nears the Florida Panhandle
tomorrow afternoon there may be a weak disturbance that rotates
around his backside and clips extreme (south)eastern Texas. If
this weaker PVA does pass through from mid morning through late
afternoon it will be moving into a heated, fairly moist and
unstable environment. Thus, have low end POPs in place Sunday for
the southern two thirds of the forecast area to account for the
daily evolution of more numerous late morning into afternoon
scattered showers and thunder. The main threats with the strongest
storms will be downburst winds. Small hail production and very
brief heavy rainfall rates leading to short term nuisance low-
lying area/roadway flooding.


Other than some slight chances for sea breeze convection Tuesday...
this near term through the extended period forecast strictly becomes
a temperature-themed affair. Relatively drier air moving in on
Monday and an amplifying northern Mexico upper ridge across the
state will likely place us under a heat wave throughout the
remaining days of the month. Subsequent days of greater than 90F
will likely break the most frequent days above 90s for the month
of May (currently at 15 for the month at IAH)...so odds are very
good that this year will replace 2003 for the top ranking. On a
more serious note...heat indices will certainly be dangerously
high. With maximum temperatures forecast in the middle to upper
90s by mid to late week, lower to middle 70 PM dew points,
relatively weaker winds and ample sun will push afternoon heat
indices into the Heat Advisory realm of 108 F or greater. Of
course, hydration and remaining in cooler environments during the
afternoon hours is key to your health. No matter your physical
conditioning it is recommended to limit any outdoor activity
during this coming week. 31

stronger storms. The storms are expected to end during the early
evening.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

Warmer than normal afternoon temperatures are expected continue
through the next week. Near-record heat is expected early next
week with heat index values in the low to mid 100s. Because of how
early in the year this heat is occurring, residents are urged to
take precautions for heat illness. These include taking frequent
breaks if working outdoors, wearing lightweight and loose-fitting
clothing and drinking plenty of water. In addition, please
remember to check the backseat for children and pets.

National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
747 PM CDT Tue May 22 2018

.AVIATION...
Showers/thunderstorms earlier this afternoon have dissipated this
evening. Should be a quiet night with mostly VFR conditions, with
patchy fog possible for our usual sites (CXO/LBX) by sunrise. Not
too many changes from previous as the onshore flow persists and a
slightly deeper moisture from the Gulf persists across the region.
Daytime heating along with the seabreeze should help produce more
scattered storms tomorrow afternoon. Will keep with the VCSH/VCTS
wording for now. 41

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 402 PM CDT Tue May 22 2018/

Afternoon showers and storms today, but today mainly limited to
the seabreeze and near an outflow boundary from yesterday`s action
at the northern edge of our area. Some patchy fog in rural areas
should crop up again tonight, with another day of isolated to
scattered convection tomorrow near the seabreeze. Expect a warming
trend into the weekend, which - depending on how things play out
with the area of disturbed weather moving from the Caribbean into
the Gulf - could continue straight on into early next week.

NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]...

Showers and storms again today - but are more subdued than the
past two days. Most activity is happening near the seabreeze, and
what looks to be an outflow boundary from yesterday`s storms at
the far northern edge of our area of responsibility. Cores have
been getting to 1-2 inches per hour of instantaneous rain rate,
and though they aren`t moving quickly, they`re dragging just
enough to keep totals from getting excessive. The heaviest rain
today has been in a very rural corner of Matagorda County.
Fortunately, the portions of Harris and Montgomery counties that
got slammed the last two days, have largely been getting a break
today. Though some urban spots show very small flares in the MRMS
unit streamflow product, the area looks pretty well behaved today.

Look for the scattered activity to begin winding down with the
loss of heating as the sun sets, coming fully to an end later in
the evening. With plenty of moisture in place, look for tonight to
be another warm one.

SHORT TERM [Wednesday Through Thursday Night]...

Scattered convection and warm temps can be expected the next two
days as well, and again the seabreeze should be most active. For
now, think that southwest of Houston may be a bit favored
Wednesday afternoon, and as an upper low drifts a little bit
eastward, will shift up towards Galveston Bay Thursday. However,
that`s fairly tentative given the relatively small and slow
motions we`re talking about here.

LONG TERM [Friday Through Tuesday]...

The extended forecast will be very strongly influenced by the
interplay of the aforementioned upper low as well as the area of
disturbed weather being tracked by NHC and given a medium chance
for development. As the upper low drifts eastward into the
weekend, heights should rise a bit, and with it highs into the
lower to mid 90s. From there...there is spread in the guidance as
to the upper low`s path. It could drift back our way, and allow
for higher rain chances. This may also allow the surface feature
to make its way further west, though at this time, even the left
edge of the guidance envelope keeps any direct impact east of
Texas. However, if it doesn`t retrograde quite as much, heights
may stay higher, and with subsidence on the edge of
the...whatever...that comes out, we could get quite hot next week.
Since the trend in the guidance has been to tighten some more on
the north central Gulf coast, the forecast leans a little more in
that direction. If this does indeed occur, we could see our first
triple digit heat indices of the year sometime next week.
