000 FXUS64 KHGX 210255 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 955 PM CDT Fri Jul 20 2018 .UPDATE... Previous forecast appears to be on track. No major changes were made. 11 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 701 PM CDT Fri Jul 20 2018/ AVIATION... VFR. Brief periods of MVFR or IFR over northern, primarily non- metro, terminals shortly after sunrise Saturday. There is a low probability that a few metro hubs could go down to below VFR for about an hour during the 7 to 9 AM LT period. Mainly a southwest breeze that will back a bit more southerly late in the afternoon. Late afternoon inland movement of the sea breeze boundary will strengthen island`s SW-S winds going into the early evening hours. 31 PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 250 PM CDT Fri Jul 20 2018/ DISCUSSION... Hot and dry conditions for the next few days as a sprawling upper level ridge expands eastward with heights building to 597 dm over North Texas in the next couple of days. Cloud cover mixed out during the mid to late morning leaving clear, sunny skies behind it this afternoon. PWs have slightly increased throughout the day, though subsidence from the ridge will continue to inhibit convection as we head into the weekend. Weekend high temperatures are expected to gradually increase through Monday. A Heat Advisory has been issued for Saturday and will likely be extended into Sunday with Monday expected to be the hottest day. Bringing 850 mb temperatures down dry adiabatically on Sunday and Monday supports temperatures between 106 and 109 degrees. If these temperatures verify, an Excessive Heat Warning may be required for parts of the area. The GFS and ECMWF suggest the ridge may begin to retreat beginning Monday. The NAM appears to agree, though heights remain higher than both the ECMWF and GFS. As heights lower with the retreating ridge, we can expect slightly cooler temperatures at the surface heading into next week, though there is low confidence in forecast high temperatures due to a fairly large spread between models. Rain chances for next week appear to be fairly low. The GFS suggests a much wetter situation with the upper low moving westward and sitting over the S/SE TX and LA region late next week and into next weekend. We`re keeping precipitation chances at a minimum leaning toward the drier and more consistent ECMWF, though we do have a few low PoPs mainly for our SE and coastal zones for Tuesday night through Friday Night. Randall/43 MARINE... Light to occasionally moderate south to southwest winds are expected to persist throughout the weekend and into the beginning of the upcoming week. At times during the overnight hours, nocturnal cooling inland may produce enough of a thermal gradient along the coast to result in winds nearing caution levels. Seas are expected to remain in a 1 to 3 foot range. 42 FIRE... Even though temperatures will be hot over the weekend, elevated fire weather conditions are not anticipated due to light winds. However, no rain chances and very low afternoon humidities may make conditions favorable for isolated fire starts, especially across portions of the Brazos Valley or Piney Woods regions. Residents should make sure to not idle or drive vehicles in tall grasses and secure or remove loose chains on vehicles and farm equipment. 42 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Thoughts: The days are just getting hotter and hotter. The radar did show a band of scattered light showers near southeast Houston, TX, but I don't know if those were actually showers, or radar error. I would like to see some rain for the Houston, TX area soon. Until then I am going to keep upping on my water intake. I was starting to get a dry throat.
