000 FXUS64 KHGX 312336 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 636 PM CDT Sat Oct 31 2020 .AVIATION [00Z TAF Issuance]... Generally light and variable winds overnight, with a solid veil of cirrus expanding across the area towards morning. Some patchy fog is possible for most, but the cirrus is likely to cut off fog potential once it moves in, so LBX likely has the best chance to see MVFR visibility. In the morning, expect north winds to strengthen to around 10 knots, with gusts to near 20 knots for a few hours in the afternoon. && .PREV DISCUSSION /Issued 330 PM CDT Sat Oct 31 2020/... .DISCUSSION... High pressure will continue to dominate through the day and night as a reinforcing cool front moves through the CWA early tomorrow morning. Some patchy fog is possible through the area ahead of the cool front, but the shallow wedge of drier air will not provide much immediate relief to the dissipation of the fog. Effects from the passing of the frontal boundary will not be really seen until tomorrow night when the high pressure driving it sets into the area. Lower dewpoints and cooler temperatures will then be seen across the CWA. 35 .SHORT TERM [Through Tomorrow night]... Trick or treating weather looks great across SETX this year. Temperatures around the time to get the kiddos out will be in the mid to upper 60s with light southerly winds. Overnight lows are only expected to be a few degrees cooler than that with southerly winds lasting through the night. Tomorrow morning, the reinforcing cool front will push through the CWA bringing some cooler and drier air with it. Noticeable changes wont be see until tomorrow night and into the start of next week. The high pressure driving the cool front will then set in and bring the cooler and drier airmass. 35 .LONG TERM [Monday through Friday]... The upcoming work week will be characterized by generally benign weather, with dry and seasonable conditions persisting through the duration of the extended forecast period. Behind the departure of this evening`s cold front, global models remain in good agreement in their depiction of upper ridging and persistent surface high pressure developing over the south-central CONUS by Monday/Tuesday. With this overall synoptic picture remaining generally steady through the entirety of the coming week, we continue to anticipate little in the way of active weather. Temperatures on Monday will be slightly below climatological norms for early November, with highs unlikely to reach much higher than 70 (normals are 77 at HOU, 76 at CLL, and 76 at GLS). However, as the aforementioned surface high begins to drift slightly to the east by mid-week, surface winds will develop a more easterly component and temperatures will be on a slight warming trend. By Wednesday, we return to more seasonable values with most locations seeing the upper 70s. Increasing low-level moisture towards the end of the week as winds veer further east/southeastward will begin to create more favorable conditions for diurnal streamer shower development offshore. However, chances for any developing precip remain marginal (have limited PoPs to below 20% over the offshore waters) and inland areas should see little to no impact. The tropics remain active with the latest NHC guidance indicating that a tropical depression/storm is likely to form in the central Caribbean in the near future. While this system does not pose a direct threat to SE TX, we continue to monitor its development. Remember- hurricane season lasts through the month of November. Although we`re past the climatological peak of the season, it`s still important to remain vigilant of the tropics. Cady .MARINE... Light winds and calm seas through tomorrow. Tomorrow morning a reinforcing cool front will push through the coastal waters increasing winds and building seas. By late tomorrow, caution flag will probably be needed due to winds and as seas build to advisory levels tomorrow night with some isolated gusts reaching gale force but will more than likely stay around advisory levels through tomorrow afternoon. By midweek, winds will veer from the southeast and onshore flow will return. Seas will stay around 3-4ft until the end of the week, then build again to around 6ft at the end of the week when a tropical system is expected to move to the east of the area. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
