000 FXUS64 KHGX 062305 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 505 PM CST Sun Dec 6 2020 .AVIATION [00Z TAF Issuance]... Largely clear sky, dry conditions, and northwest to north winds dominate the TAF period. Main change will be to see winds generally weaker at night, increasing in the mid-morning and afternoon. && .PREV DISCUSSION /Issued 238 PM CST Sun Dec 6 2020/... .DISCUSSION... SHORT TERM [Tonight Through Monday Night]... Still seeing some cirrus cloud cover along the coastline, which is occurring along the northern portions of the upper level jet axis. The cirrus is gradually shifting offshore with the jet. Also seeing a few high based cu across northern portions of the area, driven by daytime heating. A cold night is on tap with min temps in the upper 30s well inland and near 50 along the coast. Max temps tomorrow will be similar to today, reaching the low to mid 60s with ample sunshine. On Monday night temps will also be similar to tonight, possibly a degree or two warmer. Wood LONG TERM [Tuesday Through Sunday]... With surface high pressure expected to move east and across Texas over the next few days, it will bring with it the return of onshore winds by Thursday. This will lead to a gradual increase in cloud coverage and humidity along with a warming trend with high temps reaching the low to mid 70s and dewpoints reaching the mid 60s on Thursday and Friday. Model guidance between the GFS and ECMWF are in agreeance with a longwave trough/cold front pushing through SE TX early Friday and leaving our area early Saturday. It should push through rather quickly without any lingering precipitation, so POPs remain less than 10 percent Saturday afternoon and onwards in the wake of this front. The best chance for thunderstorms remains in our northernmost and easternmost counties with rainfall accumulations reaching up to a few tenths of an inch for the northernmost counties and a few hundredths of an inch everywhere else. In the wake of this front, high temps should drop back to a more seasonal average in the low 60s and dewpoints should drop back into the 40s. KBL MARINE... W/NW flow will increase this evening as a cold front moves across the marine area. Winds will gradually become more northerly overnight. Caution conditions are expected tonight with 15-20 KT winds across the offshore waters. Winds will subside again on Monday aft/eve as the surface high drifts overhead. Onshore flow will return early Thursday as the next storm system approaches. Wind speeds will increase Thurs afternoon and evening to near SCEC/SCA criterion. There will be a chance of showers and storms ahead of and near a cold front which will push off the coast late Fri night/early Sat with moderate offshore flow in its wake.
