000 FXUS64 KHGX 082353 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 553 PM CST Sun Nov 8 2020 .AVIATION [00Z TAF Issuance]... East to southeast winds continue to supply low-level moisture to the region, and we continue to anticipate the development of areas of fog and MVFR to IFR cigs overnight once again. SREF probabilistic guidance continues to strongly favor widespread reduced visibilities and IFR cigs at most terminals between approximately 09 and 12Z tonight. NAM/GFS forecast soundings concurrently indicate the development of BKN to OVC decks at around 600-800ft during this time. While visibilities should improve by mid- morning, cigs will be slow to lift and MVFR conditions could persist well into tomorrow afternoon. Cady && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 248 PM CST Sun Nov 8 2020/ SHORT TERM [Tonight and Monday]... Look for another round of low clouds and fog to develop tonight...slowly scattering out Monday afternoon. NNW-SSE oriented moisture axis currently producing some iso/sct precip across Louisiana will be edging further west into east/southeast Texas tomorrow. Can`t totally rule out some isolated activity here, though it`ll mostly be the exception and not the rule. Added some lowish POPs to the fcst. Otherwise, lows in the 60s & highs in the 80s. 47 LONG TERM [Monday Night Through Sunday]... Warm and fairly humid weather will start the period with onshore flow. A cold front will work its way into the area from NW to SE on Tuesday into Wednesday but likely stall...wash out before making it to the coast. This front may bring rain showers to some spots...but probably only measurable for 20 to 30 percent of the area...and not much rainfall to those that get it, likely a tenth of an inch or less. Flow becomes onshore again Thursday and Friday with increasingly humid marine airmass overspreading the area. The next cold front to push through the area perhaps Saturday night or Sunday if the ECMWF is right...perhaps Monday in the GFS...but has we`ve seen again and again...plenty of uncertainty in timing and position of those cold fronts for days 6 and beyond. Meanwhile Tropical Storm Eta will intensify into a hurricane and move across the FL Keys into the Eastern Gulf of Mexico in the Monday through Wednesday time period. From there some uncertainty in the track but most models curling it back toward the Gulf coast of FL. For detailed Eta information...follow the National Hurricane Center. In any case Eta not expected to impact Texas except for perhaps some increase in surf from long period swell emanating from Eta. For more on this see marine section. 18 MARINE... Easterly swell associated with the wind field around Eta will continue to move across our waters for a good portion of the week. In general, expect 4-6ft seas in the 20-60nm group which may require the caution flags at times. For now they`ve been holding fairly steady right around 5ft so will let the current headline expire and let future shifts reevaluate things. Rip currents will also be a periodic issue along area beaches, especially around jetties, piers & rock groins. Water levels are running around 1.5 ft above normal and should peak slightly above 3 ft around times of high tide. Not anticipating coastal flood issues other than a bit of elevated wave run-up at the beach during the high tide cycles. 47 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
