540 FXUS64 KHGX 120244 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 944 PM CDT Mon Jun 11 2018 .UPDATE... Fairly quiet night is in store for the area. The previous forecast appears to be on track, and only minor adjustments were made to account for current observations. 11 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 643 PM CDT Mon Jun 11 2018/ AVIATION [00Z TAF Issuance]... Storms over central Texas have dissipated so we will likely see VFR conditions going into the overnight. Like last night there will be a mix of MVFR/VFR decks beginning 07-09Z mainly for KCLL/KUTS/KCXO and perhaps KIAH/KSGR. KLBX may also have some higher MVFR ceilings but could be more transient. Upper level short wave trough over the area now should weaken and combine with a broader trough over the Gulf. Overall think this will limit the chances for convection with large scale lift decreasing and moisture looks to decrease as well with PWAT dropping to below 1.5 inches by tomorrow evening. There still may be some 20 knot wind gusts tomorrow afternoon but likely just fair weather cumulus. Overpeck PREV DISCUSSION /Issued 340 PM CDT Mon Jun 11 2018/... DISCUSSION... Status quo through mid week with all eyes on the extended forecast this weekend. Whatever evolves out of the Caribbean sea looks to bring increased moisture and rain chances to the region into early next week. NEAR TERM [Through Tonight]... Convection is struggling to maintain itself over the Piney Woods, likely owing to the presence of a capping inversion located between 800-750 MB on aircraft soundings out of Houston. Afternoon visible satellite does show some enhancement in altocumulus over Central Texas, likely enhanced by a compact shortwave trough drifting towards the ArkLaTex. Will need to keep an eye on this activity heading into the evening hours as high resolution guidance is attempting to bring at least decaying remnants of this activity into the Brazos Valley as it appears to be forced at a level above the capping inversion and should be unaffected by the cap. Cannot rule out a quick shot of rain for a few lucky folks through early evening as a result, but dry conditions will be the rule for most this evening. Isentropic upglide will again produce periods of low stratus overnight across the region, helping to keep overnight lows in the mid 70s to lower 80s. Despite lighter southerly surface winds tonight, near surface winds in the 15-20 knot range should provide enough mechanical mixing to mitigate against light fog outside of sheltered or low-lying areas. SHORT TERM [Tuesday Through Wednesday Night]... More of the same Tuesday into Thursday with warm and humid conditions holding each day, with a slight chance of afternoon showers/thunderstorms Tuesday and Wednesday. Mostly sunny skies will once again bring sufficient mixing to support generally 10-15 mph onshore winds which will help the afternoon heat somewhat. LONG TERM [Thursday Through Monday]... As a plume of tropical moisture overspreads the region, chances for some much needed rain will increase late this week and increase further into early next week. Much of this depends on the evolution of tropical wave being monitored by NHC for possible development over the next 5 days as it moves across the Caribbean and into the southern Gulf of Mexico. Currently NHC has a low probability (20% chance) of a distinct surface low forming/closing-off, although models show more agreement in influx of deep moisture and increasing rain chances over se TX, specifically Sunday into Monday. Clouds and rain chances will lower temps a bit in the extended at least. MARINE... Persistent onshore flow will support maintaining exercise caution wording for offshore waters with slightly elevated winds/seas through daybreak tomorrow. We should see onshore winds gradually diminish into the mid-week. In the later periods, mostly Friday through the weekend, we could see conditions gradually worsen with increased long-swell and rain/tstm chances. Details of these conditions will depend on how anything develops in the southern/western Gulf this weekend. TROPICAL... Not a whole lot to add here, although all eyes are monitoring the disturbed area moving across the Caribbean sea early this week, as highlighted by latest 5 day graphical outlook from NHC (20% probability of development in next 5 days). Considerable uncertainty remains at this time with this `system` given lack of any real consensus of a closed low forming in the operational models. However, more there is a more consistent signal bringing a fetch of deep moisture and increase in offshore winds across the western Gulf this weekend. Therefore, rainfall chances are increasing Sunday into Monday- some of which could be heavy. The details are too murky to have any confidence in specifics given the extended range of these possible impacts, however. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Locations: Northwest, southwest, southeast, and maybe west Houston, TX, Katy, TX, Fulshear, TX, and Cypress, TX.
Thoughts: The day was sunny, mostly cloudy, dry, and hot. There is some rain in the forecast for the Houston, TX area, late this week. I am hoping to see some more rain. Summer time rain is one of my favorite types of weather. Especially since it cools things down.
