000 FXUS64 KHGX 120432 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 1132 PM CDT Fri Sep 11 2020 .AVIATION [06Z TAF Issuance]... Skies clearing out over the area and should remain VFR through 10z then some patchy MVFR/IFR CIGS possible for CXO/UTS/CLL through 14z. CU developing around 14z and should continue through the afternoon. As the deeper moisture spreads into the area from the east expect to see a band of showers/thunderstorms develop to the east of the terminals shifting west and nearing the CXO-IAH-GLS terminals 20-02z and will be continuing with the VCSH/VCTS and have added a PROB30 for GLS. 45 && .PREV DISCUSSION /Issued 834 PM CDT Fri Sep 11 2020/... .SHORT TERM [Tonight Through Sunday]... Still have a couple of storms/showers dissipating left on radar...and plenty of bats/bugs blasting off. Band of elevated moisture and the departing entrance region of the upper jet out into the Gulf should spell the end of the lift and showers. Overnight expect skies to clear and temperatures to fall into the mid to upper 60s north and still remain balmy in the upper 70s to around 80 on the coast. Tomorrow still looking like moisture rotates into the area from the east in the afternoon and rain chances to increase in the afternoon over the southeastern half of the area. 45 .LONG TERM [Saturday Night Through Friday]... Kind of a messy and complicated long term forecast for SE TX. On Saturday night, a weak area of low pressure will try to develop in the central Gulf of Mexico and slowly meanders W-SW toward NE Mexico. This feature will toss some moisture to the N-NW of the center and bring coastal areas a chance of rain Saturday night. The surface low coupled with a weak trough over the midwest will bring additional showers and storms on Sunday. Fcst soundings show PW values increasing to 2.25 inches, virtually no capping and convective temps in the upper 80`s. The low over the extreme southern Gulf loses it`s influence over SE TX but a second area of disturbed weather over the Bahamas will cross FL over the weekend and emerge over the eastern Gulf on Monday. There is very little shear over the Gulf and despite some upwelling from Laura, the gulf waters remain quite warm so some intensification of this system looks likely. The aforementioned upper level trough over the midwest should tug this feature N-NW toward the LA coast. Much can/will change by the middle to end of next week so it`s be wise to keep up with the latest forecasts. Model trends support a brief decrease in moisture levels Tue/Wed as SE TX lies between the decaying system well to the south and the deepening system off to the east. As the developing system to the east nudges closer Thursday and beyond, moisture levels perk back up to between 2.20 and 2.40 inches with convective temperatures falling into the mid and upper 80`s. A well defined shear axis will also develop across SE TX Thu-Fri with a weak surface trough developing from the surface low (over Arkansas) extending across SE TX. Rain chances look likely both days. Conditions should begin to dry out again next weekend as upper level ridging over the southern Rockies expands into Texas. 43 .MARINE... A weak surface boundary remains along the nearshore waters, producing north wind gusts around 15 knots. Winds will gradually decrease this evening and a Small Craft Should Exercise Caution category will not be required. Residual boundary (or boundaries) and a well-saturated low to mid level layer will lead to isolated showers and thunderstorms overnight into early Saturday. We will then transition to a more unsettled weather pattern late this weekend into next week as a couple of disturbances with a potential for tropical development move through the Gulf. The first easterly wave approaches the region Saturday night into Sunday and the next system moves close to our region towards the end of next week. An increased influx of moisture and instability will be likely throughout the week, with locally gusty winds and increased waves with any storms. Uncertainty with the evolution of these systems and its impacts across Southeast Texas remain high; therefore, continue to monitor the latest forecasts for more details.
