678 FXUS64 KHGX 110243 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX Issued by National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 943 PM CDT Sat Oct 10 2020 .DISCUSSION... Updated for 03Z Aviation Update. && .AVIATION... The current TAF forecast still seems to be on track, with VFR conditions continuing through most of the night. A transition to MVFR/IFR ceilings and and visibilities is expected by early morning (09Z-13Z) before returning again to VFR conditions. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED Issued by National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX/ DISCUSSION... Updated for 00Z TAF Issuance. AVIATION... VFR conditions prevail, with some brief MVFR ceilings reported at GLS. Winds will continue to weaken tonight, which could lead to some IFR/brief LIFR VSBYs across the area for the early morning hours (09Z-13Z). As the sun rises, any fog and MVFR/IFR CIGs should lift, returning all sites to VFR for the rest of the TAF period. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 355 PM CDT Sat Oct 10 2020/ SHORT TERM [Tonight Through Monday Night]... In the wake of Delta`s departure, a period of calm and generally benign weather has began across SE Texas. Very little in the way of cloud cover has developed this afternoon, and a clear night ahead looks to be in store with lows in the upper 60s to low 70s. Conditions will be once again favorable for the development of patchy fog this evening, particularly south of the I-10 corridor and east of the I-45 corridor. With expected dewpoint differentials in the range of 1-3 degF and forecast soundings indicating near-surface saturation, reduced visibilities could potentially make overnight travel hazardous. Be sure to exercise caution if you plan to be out on the roads late this evening. With surface high pressure remaining in place across SE Texas and clear skies generally expected to persist, record daily high temperatures will be within reach for the next few days. Most inland locations will see the low to mid 90s tomorrow afternoon and on Monday, though heat indicies will likely remain below the 100 degree mark as afternoon dew points should mix out into the upper 60s to low 70s. Nonetheless, it will feel summer-like out there and general heat precautions should still be taken if you plan to head outdoors. Cady LONG TERM [Tuesday Through Saturday]... Our focus turns to the approach of two cold fronts next week- an initial weaker boundary on late Monday/early Tuesday and a second stronger boundary at the end of the week. Model depictions of the initial front have sped up a bit in recent cycles, placing the feature near Madison/Houston counties after sunset on Monday and slowly bringing it southward by Tuesday afternoon. Questions still remain as to whether it will reach the coast, with the latest model solutions stalling it out just south of I-10. Nonetheless, the passage of this weak front is likely to be a dry one, with northerly winds in its wake allowing for some drier air to filter into the northern half of the forecast area. High temperatures are likely to remain above normal through mid-week, with most locations continuing to reach the upper 80s to low 90s through Thursday. By late Thursday, a stronger cold front extending from a surface low over southern Canada will be draped across the south-Central CONUS. Latest GFS & ECMWF runs are in general agreement that the approaching boundary should reach the Brazos Valley/northern counties overnight on Thursday, pushing into the Houston metro by the morning and clearing the coast by the early afternoon. Have continued to maintain chance PoPs with the frontal passage, though ECMWF remains the far wetter of the two solutions. Will likely have to wait to see if GFS comes into better agreement in subsequent before raising PoPs anywhere above the 20s for now. Regardless, a surge of cool and dry air will take hold across SE TX as northeast winds develop in the wake of the departing boundary. The upcoming weekend looks to be much more autumn-like compared to this one, with dew points likely to fall into the 40s in most locations by Saturday and overnight lows returning to the 50s. Cady AVIATION [18Z TAF Issuance]... VFR conditions are expected through much of the TAF period. MVFR/IFR ceilings and visibilities continue to be expected from 09Z to 13Z Sunday, then return to VFR. 99 MARINE... With the departure of Delta, lower seas and lighter winds have prompted the cancellation of all warnings and advisories across the bays and coastal waters. These light winds and 1-3ft seas are likely to persist through mid-week. A weak cold front will approach the area on Tuesday, but will likely stall before reaching the coast. A second, stronger cold front will approach the area on Friday, with moderate to strong northeast winds expected to develop in its wake. This may require caution flags and/or advisories.
