Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
613 AM CDT FRI JUN 17 2016

.AVIATION...
A few areas of MVFR conditions over areas mainly inland of KIAH
and KSGR will lift between 13Z and 15Z. VFR conditions will then
persist with a surface high pressure ridge providing plenty of
subsidence. Hot temperatures and high pressure will be the main
concerns at the inland terminals through the late afternoon
period. Best chances for MVFR conditions will then be after 09Z
mainly over KCLL, KUTS, and KCXO; although, there is an outside
chance for MVFR at the metro Houston sites. Again, any MVFR
conditions will lift by around 15Z on Saturday morning.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 341 AM CDT FRI JUN 17 2016/

DISCUSSION...
An upper level ridge of high pressure remains anchored over
northwest Mexico with surface high pressure over the north central
Gulf of Mexico. An 850 mb ridge was located over the northwest
gulf and 850 mb temps were 24c at CRP and 22C at LCH. Max temps
today should again warm into the mid/upper 90s. With the surface
high over the gulf...sfc winds should generally remain s-se so low
level mstr should continue to creep into the region..offset by
drier air aloft mixing to the sfc. In a nut shell...it stays hot
and humid today. Heat index values should be highest along the
I-69 corridor and these values will top out between 107-111
degrees late this afternoon. Will maintain the heat advisory.

Some relief is on the way. The upper ridge begins to push N-NW
towards the 4 corners region. This creates just enough of a
weakness for a weak inverted trough to undercut the ridge and
slide into SE TX. A weak upper level disturbance on the periphery
of the ridge will try to sneak into the region Saturday afternoon
and have added PoPs for the eastern half of the region late in the
day. 500 heights and 850 temps begin to lower on Saturday and
continue to drop through Monday. 850 temps are progged at 24C today
but are expected to cool to 18C by Monday morning. A stronger
inverted trough approaches on Sunday and will bring the area a
good chance of rain. PW values increase to between 1.70 inches
(nw zones) and 2.20 inches (coastal zones) by Sunday evening.
Deeper moisture coupled with the trough and convective temps in
the upper 80s should yield at least scattered shra/tsra. Fcst
soundings how little to no capping. Will maintain high end chance
PoPs for now but likely PoPs may ultimately be required. Some of
the storms could also become strong on Sunday afternoon with CAPE
values over 3000 and LI`s around -8. Lapse rates don`t look
particularly steep but NAM fcst soundings show an inverted V
signature so could get some gusty winds.

The upper ridge becomes centered over Colorado by Monday. Heights
begin to build again and it appears that the ridge will be
displaced far enough north to allow additional shra/tsra on
Monday. The ridge expands a bit eastward on Tues/Wed and heights
build to 596 dm. The GFS and ECMWF differ with regard to rain
chances during the mid week period despite looking similar with
regard to the position and strength of the upper ridge. The GFS
has higher rain chances primarily because it rotates a series of
weak s/wvs on the periphery of the ridge while the ECMWF does not
show these features. Based on the strength and position of the
upper ridge and support from the long range Canadian, have
favored the drier ECMWF for the middle and end of next week. 43

MARINE...
Although moderate southerly winds will affect the marine areas early
this morning, am not expecting Caution or Advisory conditions to
develop over the weekend nor during the first half of the upcoming
week. The pattern generally will be lighter winds during the day
followed by slight stronger winds at night. Locally higher winds and
seas will be possible Saturday night through Monday as an upper
level inverted trough brings chances for showers and thunderstorms.

Some of the shorter term meso models are suggesting a shortwave moving beneath the Upper Ridge to the West along a slowly moving frontal boundary that will sag South along the Northern and Northeastern Gulf Coast. This feature should increase our rain chances as it moves across the Region Sunday into Monday. There is also a surge of deeper tropical moisture above 2 inches heading NW from the Caribbean Sea as well as an area of tropical disturbed weather associated with the persistent monsoonal trough situated from the Gulf of Tehuantepec across Southern Mexico, Nicaragua and the Yucatan Peninsula.

We had unusual cold fronts near the beginning of July last year and the year before. I noticed the feature on GFS last night. A threepeat?

[snowman65]

Does anyone see any changes in the heatwave in 3 weeks or so? Heading to SW Colodao (Ouray, Silverton, etc) 2nd week of July..Thanks!

[Belmer]

Anyone else already ready for winter? Sheesh... walking outside just sucks the life out of you.

Oh, and hello everyone! I apologize for the long absence. Hope everyone has been doing well and staying cool.

Hi Snowman,

Long range models are always fun to gamble with. Though the general forecast looks like the heat dome that will cause several days and up to weeks of triple digits in the plains will begin to break down near the beginning of July. In your case, second week of July is anyones guess at this point. In a couple weeks, myself, or someone else on this forum can hopefully give you a better idea.

[srainhoutx]

It looks like we are in store for some changes over the next several days as the Upper Ridge flattens out and an inverted trough sets up across Louisiana and SE Texas. A weak frontal boundary is located across the Northern Gulf as well as a shortwave dropping South from the Southern Plains around the Eastern periphery of the Upper Ridge. To our SE across the Yucatan Peninsula, a tropical wave is moving generally NW to WNW and it appears a surface low is attempting to organize along the Mexico/Belize border this morning. Deep tropical moisture at the surface is surging toward the Mexico and Texas Coast as the wave axis moves WNW. The NHC increased the chances for Tropical Development to 40% at 1:00 AM over the next 5 Days across the SW Gulf/Bay of Campeche. We may see an INVEST designated later today if thunderstorms associated with the tropical disturbance over the Yucatan Peninsula maintains or increases.

Locally, afternoon showers and storms may fire during the heat of the day as the inverted trough moves West from Coastal Louisiana towards the Upper Texas Coast. Rain chances may increase further as a potential MCS drops South out of Oklahoma later tonight as the inverted trough inches a bit closer to SW Louisiana. Depending on exactly where or if the tropical disturbance attempts to organize further, rain chances may need to be increased Sunday into Monday and possibly Tuesday before the Upper Ridge builds back over West Texas. The Heat Advisory as been allowed to expire for SE Texas and with increased cloud cover and rain chances, we may not make it out of the 80's tomorrow and possibly Monday, depending on the complicated forecasting challenges of an inverted trough across our Region and the potential developing tropical disturbance to our SSE once it enters the Bay of Campeche.

If I am allowed to take a stab at the long range, I would guess that this Upper Ridge will be around in some form or fashion through the remainder of this summer at least through late August or early September. Ultimately I could be proven wrong, but history has shown us that these types of Upper Ridges are hard to break down once they get fully established in the month of June. Many times they will usually translate from one portion of the country to another throughout the summer. It usually requires a transition from summer to fall to permanently break the back of these types of Upper Ridges.

So essence, I really feel our sensible weather for the remainder of this summer will ultimately be determined by the placement of this Upper Ridge. The closer it remains to Southeast Texas, the lower our rain chances and the higher our temperatures will be. I also strongly feel that this ridge will ultimately dictate any influences tropical systems may have our region. The closer the ridge remains to us, the less likely we will experience any direct influence from any tropical system. The further away the ridge is from SE Texas will leave us more vulnerable to any future tropical mischief.

Again, I may be proven wrong and this summer things may be play out totally different this time.

1131 AM CDT SAT JUN 18 2016

AREAS AFFECTED...WRN AND SWRN LA / E TX

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 181631Z - 181800Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...40 PERCENT

SUMMARY...STRONG TO LOW-END SEVERE GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE THIS
AFTERNOON. CONVECTIVE TRENDS WILL BE MONITORED FOR THE POSSIBLE
NEED FOR A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH.

DISCUSSION...RADAR MOSAIC SHOWS A SEMI-ORGANIZED LOOSE CLUSTER OF
STORMS WITH AN ELONGATED COLD POOL/GUST FRONT ORIENTED FROM 40 MI E
OF SHV EXTENDING SEWD TO 20 MI W OF HUM NEAR THE MOUTH OF THE
ATCHAFALAYA. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AHEAD OF THE TSTM BAND HAVE
WARMED INTO THE MID-UPPER 80S WITH MID 70S DEWPOINTS. THE 12Z LCH
RAOB SHOWED A PRONOUNCED COLD POCKET AT H5 /-11.5 DEG C/ AND A VERY
UNSTABLE BOUNDARY LAYER IS IN PLACE AHEAD OF THE TSTM COMPLEX AS
SAMPLED BY THE 12Z SHV-LCH RAOBS WHEN MODIFIED FOR CURRENT SURFACE
CONDITIONS /2000-3000 J PER KG MLCAPE/.

ALTHOUGH THE WINDS THROUGH THE TROPOSPHERE WILL REMAIN WEAK...H5-H2
FLOW OF 20-30 KT FROM THE NNE ATOP WEAK WLY/S AT THE SURFACE WILL
PROMOTE A SWWD PROPAGATION OF THE TSTM BAND INTO THE SABINE RIVER
VALLEY LATER THIS AFTERNOON. SMALL TO MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL MAY
ACCOMPANY THE STRONGEST UPDRAFTS GIVEN THE COOL MID-LEVEL TEMPS BUT
ISOLD DOWNDRAFTS CAPABLE OF WIND DAMAGE OWING TO 50-60 MPH WINDS
APPEAR TO BE THE PRIMARY RISK.

Just got back from the movies, when we left about 4:30pm, the skies were getting very dark in Stafford. I think we probably got a good 1" or so. I was going to have to put the hose in the pool tomorrow, now I don't have too. Humidity is way down. Almost feels pleasant outside.
