Area Forecast Discussion
Issued by NWS Houston/Galveston, TX
000 FXUS64 KHGX 022353 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 553 PM CST Mon Nov 2 2020 .AVIATION [00Z TAF Issuance]... VFR conditions prevail through the period. Clear skies and light, variable winds expected to develop tonight. Light south to southeasterly winds are expected to develop tomorrow with some high clouds moving into the area. Fowler && .PREV DISCUSSION /Issued 247 PM CST Mon Nov 2 2020/... .SHORT TERM (Through Tuesday)... Surface high pressure over the mid south and upper level ridging over South Texas will bring clear skies to SE TX tonight and again on Tuesday. If you have not voted, weather will not be a detriment to voting in person on Tuesday. The air mass over the region is very dry so the diurnal range in temperatures will be very large. And, with dry air in place, coupled with clear skies and light winds, MinT values tonight will plunge into the middle and upper 40`s most areas. 850 temps warm a bit on Tuesday and MaxT values should warm into the mid/upper 70`s. Dew points will remain low so another day with low humidity is expected. 43 .LONG TERM [Wednesday through Monday]... A mid/upper level ridge of high pressure will continue over the area through Wednesday. A mid level short wave trough will break down the ridge Wednesday night and Thursday and will produce more cloud cover over the area. The surface high which has been centered over the area will gradually shift east and we will see onshore flow beginning on Wednesday and continuing through the rest of the forecast period. This pattern will produce above normal max temperatures and a warming trend with minimum temps through the period. By Sunday and into early next week, minimum temperatures will be well above normal and in the 60s areawide. With the warm and moist airmass in place by late in the weekend, we could also see some showers develop over portions of the area. Early next week, a large and deep mid/upper level low centered over the four corners region will begin to advect eastward into the plains. The GFS is slightly more progressive than the ECMWF with this upper trough/low, but both support a cold front beginning to push across north Texas just after the forecast period. 33 .MARINE... High pressure over Arkansas will move east through mid week and winds will veer to the E-SE by tomorrow. The gradient is relaxing but cooler air over the warmer waters should keep winds near SCEC criteria offshore. Will issue a SCEC tonight as seas remain between 5-6 feet through 09z despite a slight decrease in wind speeds. A light onshore flow will prevail Wednesday into early Thursday. The pressure gradient will tighten again toward the end of the week as low pressure over the NW Carribean moves north and interacts with high pressure over the mid Atlantic. The persistent east wind will bring swells into the coastal waters by Friday with slightly elevated water levels for next weekend. 43 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
