000 FXUS64 KHGX 082329 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 529 PM CST Tue Dec 8 2020 .AVIATION [00Z TAF Issuance]... VFR conditions will continue throughout the duration of the TAF period. Winds will diminish over the next few hours, remaining light and variable overnight. Clear skies and southwest winds of 5 to 10 knots are expected tomorrow. Cady && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 248 PM CST Tue Dec 8 2020/ SHORT TERM [Tonight Through Thursday]... Surface high pressure continues to dominate the weather, bringing mostly clear skies and light winds. As the high moves east- southeast into the Gulf today into Wednesday, a warmer airmass filters in within the west to southwest flow at the surface. This will result in overnight temperatures from the upper 40s to mid 50s and daytime temperatures climbing into the 70s for Wednesday and Thursday. Breezy south winds will be on the increase on Thursday ahead of the next cold front moving through the area late Thursday night. 05 LONG TERM [Thursday Night Through Tuesday]... Onshore winds Thursday will help increase temperatures, humidity, and PWs. High temps should approach the mid 70S on Thursday and PWs should reach 1.4" to 1.6" ahead of the prefrontal trough. The next cold front should approach SE Texas Friday night and early Saturday morning. However, there is uncertainty in global models regarding when the front pushes through and how long the precip will last. GFS shows the front and precip moving through by Saturday afternoon whereas the ECMWF and Canadian model show a jet stream and trough strengthening across the eastern half of the US and then pushing towards the NE. This causes showers and precip to linger in our coastal waters and our southernmost counties until late Sunday/Early Monday. The forecast was weighted more in favor of the ECMWF and Canadian model since the model trend of lingering precip has been consistent the last several days for these models. Late into the forecast period, another trough/front is expected to push through sometime on Tuesday with the GFS being more aggressive and forming a front earlier and stronger than other models. KBL MARINE... As surface high pressure builds over the western Gulf of Mexico...winds will be light and mainly from the SW or W through Wednesday. As the high shifts E and a cold front approaches from the west...winds increase and become onshore...mainly from the S Thursday and Friday...with Small Craft Exercise Caution conditions likely developing by Thursday night. Some uncertainty in timing...but cold front likely to push through on Saturday...a little later than pervious forecast. In fact...could be slower yet of ECMWF solution is correct...with more of a Sunday night FROPA depicted...and have trended toward this slower scenario as GFS seems to be faster than most of the determistic runs. Small Craft Advisory conditions are possible behind the front on Sunday into Monday. Again uncertainty here...but favoring the stronger...slower solutions advertised in the ECMWF and Canadian models. GFS is quicker and somewhat weaker with winds not as strong post front. Another front looks on tap for late day 7, possibly next Tuesday. Still plenty of uncertainty in that feature.
