November 2015: Ending Cold & Rainy

[srainhoutx]

The National Hurricane Center as increased chances for Tropical Cyclone Development next week S of the Gulf of Tehuantepec to a High Chance. This could get real interesting folks. Stay Tuned next week.

It's still a week out and these computer models will change daily, but like Jeff mentioned last evening I too cannot recall a tropical cyclone making landfall in Western Mexico and its deep tropical moisture being entrenched across our Region after an Arctic front has arrived in my 45+ years of following Texas Weather.

Going to be a week we all watch the weather, eat turkey and checkout the football games. Can you imagine the snowfall if this scenario verifies. Will be interesting to see how the models continue to see this system and what it will bring for us weather wise.

Do you think the arctic front after Thanksgiving will finally give us freezing temps here in Houston area?

The 12Z Euro has a strong 977mb Hurricane approaching the West Coast of Mexico early next Friday as the Arctic Front and a wound up Western Upper low/trough organizes in the Great Basin.

Is it looking like the temps this weekend will drop lower than the front arriving after Thanksgiving?

...FIRST FALL FREEZE EXPECTED FOR THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA ON
SUNDAY OR MONDAY MORNINGS...

A STRONG COLD FRONT AND THE FIRST BLAST OF COLD AIR FROM THE NORTH
WILL ARRIVE IN SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS THIS WEEKEND. ONCE THE HIGH
PRESSURE CENTER ARRIVES OVER TEXAS...COLD AIR...CLEAR SKIES...AND
LIGHT WINDS WILL ALLOW FOR THE MAXIMUM COOLING OF THE AIR NEAR THE
GROUND...RESULTING IN THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES SINCE EARLY LAST
MARCH.

BELOW FREEZING LOW TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED IN THE NORTHERN
EDWARDS PLATEAU AND HILL COUNTRY ON SUNDAY MORNING. MANY OF THOSE
LOCATIONS WILL SEE A FREEZE AGAIN MONDAY MORNING...ALONG WITH THE
PLAINS ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 10.

MOST OF BEXAR COUNTY AND SAN ANTONIO SHOULD STAY ABOVE FREEZING...
BUT LOCATIONS ALONG AND NORTH OF 1604...BETWEEN INTERSTATE 35 AND
BANDERA ROAD...MAY SEE PATCHY FREEZING...ESPECIALLY IN LOW-LYING
AREAS SUCH AS ALONG CREEKS.

NEARLY ALL OF TRAVIS COUNTY AND AUSTIN WILL EXPERIENCE A FREEZE
ON MONDAY MORNING...EXCEPT FOR SOME AREAS IN THE URBAN CORE
BETWEEN MOPAC AND INTERSTATE 35.

ACTUAL LOW TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 20S IN THE HILL
COUNTRY TO 30-31 ALONG INTERSTATE 35 AND THE PLAINS EAST OF
AUSTIN. SENSITIVE PLANTS AND PETS SHOULD BE BROUGHT INDOORS. WATER
PIPES SHOULD NOT BURST SINCE TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY BE A FEW
DEGREES BELOW FREEZING...AND ONLY FOR 4-6 HOURS EACH NIGHT.

For those wondering what the Thanksgiving Black Friday event will bring, I believe it will take until at least mid next week before we get a firm handle on what the temperatures upstream will actually be. It is appearing likely that we will witness a surge of tropical moisture from a land falling tropical cyclone along the West Coast of Mexico near or just after the Arctic front arrives. What we cannot know this far out is the potential of a Coastal low/trough along the Lower Texas Coast as the remnants of that tropical system spread over a shallow cold air mass at the surface. Typically the models under estimate the magnitude and strength of shallow Arctic airmasses and are too slow with their progression to the Coast. If everything develops as expected this Friday afternoon a full week away, there could be both severe weather as well as p-type issues across portions of Texas late in the hectic Thanksgiving Holiday period. We are in somewhat uncharted territory when it comes to what our actual sensible weather will bring Thanksgiving Day into next weekend. Meanwhile, expect we will see a Freeze Watch issued for portions of SE Texas sometime tomorrow with this first piece of cold Canadian air cross our Region tomorrow. If we stay cloudy Sunday afternoon and early Monday, the chance of freezing temperatures will likely decrease. Meanwhile, Stay Warm and Stay Tuned!

[srainhoutx]

Afternoon briefing from Jeff:

Strong Canadian cold front heading for SE TX.

Possible first freeze of the season Monday morning

Extremely active Thanksgiving period with both a possible arctic cold front and landfalling MX hurricane.

Amplified upper air pattern allowing a strong cold front to surge down the plains. Front will arrive in NW TX this evening and roar off the upper TX coast midday Saturday…and it will roar! There will be no mistake with this front passes your location as the increasingly warm and humid air mass with temperatures in the 60’s and 70’s will fall into the 50’s within the first 15 minutes of frontal passage and then into the 40’s. Very strong north winds will howl behind the front as an impressive 1035mb surface high builds down the plains into OK. Expect sustained winds of 25-35mph with gusts of 40-45mph…higher along the coast and offshore. Air mass has moistened today and local radars show a large mass of showers over the coastal bend starting to advance NNE toward the region. Lift will greatly increase overnight along with some elevated instability, so would not be surprised if we see some thunderstorms in bands ahead and along the front.

Skies clear rapidly Saturday afternoon, but winds will stay elevated Saturday night and this should save most of the area from a freeze. The area does not look as lucky on Monday morning as clear skies, dry air mass and calm winds will likely result in near/sub freezing conditions especially north of HWY 105 and in the normally colder locations. Latest GFS guidance does take BUSH IAH down to 33-32 on Monday morning which would mean a light freeze for those outside the Beltway. Still some time to watch…but it is becoming likely a freeze watch will be required by Sunday afternoon and since this is the first likely freeze on the season and end to the growing season certain precautions will need to be made for any tender vegetation.

Monday will be the last clear and cool day…before the onset of a cloudy and rainy periods for much of next week.

Area of disturbed weather over central America will move westward south of MX and likely develop into a tropical cyclone next week. A deep longwave trough begins to develop over the W US while decently strong ridging develops in Alaska. The GFS brings a 995mb hurricane toward western MX around Thanksgiving Day while the ECMWF is much stronger at 977mb. Both of these solutions are rare for this time of year…but the waters off the west coast of MX remain very warm given the warm phase ENSO in progress. Deep ridging over Alaska will likely dislodge a large mass of dense arctic air which heads southward toward Montana around Thanksgiving Day. Longwave trough to the west captures the EPAC hurricane and also likely unleashes the arctic air southward rapidly down the plains and into TX right after Thanksgiving. Rain looks likely both ahead of the front and behind the front. Frontal timing is still uncertain and not likely until after Thanksgiving so it will be warm and muggy on both Wednesday and Thursday with ahead of the boundary. Rain chances will likely need to be raised along with rainfall amounts once it is determine how exactly the tropical system will affect the region.

[Ptarmigan]

Evening briefing from Jeff:

Extremely active weather pattern likely over the next 7-14 days.

Strong cold front will sweep across the area early Saturday with rapidly falling temperatures during the day.

Potential arctic air outbreak the weekend after Thanksgiving

If we thought the last few weeks were active…hold on! Upper air pattern will undergo strong amplification with cold arctic air mass currently over Alaska becoming increasingly dislodge and sent southward. A piece of this air mass will arrive this Saturday before potentially the entire air mass dumps down the front range of the Rockies just after Thanksgiving.

Moisture return is underway this afternoon and expect clouds to develop from south to north tonight. Moisture increases more on Friday and weak isentropic lift is expect to help force a few showers by afternoon. Strong cold front will blast into TX Friday night and move off the coast between 600am and noon on Saturday with temperatures falling from the 60’s into the 40’s with very strong north winds. Expect strong lift with the front to produce numerous showers and even elevated thunderstorms Friday night. Models continue to trend wetter and wetter with this system and now show possibly 1-2 inches of rainfall across the region especially in areas of banded heavier thunderstorms.

Big news will be the temperature fall as cold Canadian air mass slices into the region. NW winds post front will howl with impressive 5-7mb pressure rises over the region as large 1043mb high pushes down the plains into OK. Expect winds on Saturday sustained of 25-35mph with gusts of 40-45mph which will drive wind chills into the lower 40’s and 30’s. Gale Warnings will be needed for most if not all waters as the cold air mass strikes the warm waters…expect gusts to 50mph or even greater offshore into Saturday night. Skies will clear rapidly Saturday afternoon and this will result in temperatures falling into the 30’s for most locations Sunday morning. Think winds will stay up enough to prevent a freeze for most areas…but N and W areas could be close.

Cool on Sunday with highs only in the mid 50’s even with much sun. Big concern is Monday morning with clear skies and calm winds along with dewpoints in the upper 20’s. Looks like we may see a widespread freeze north of I-10…which would require a freeze watch since it would be the first killing freeze of the season. Areas north of HWY 105 look more certain to have a freeze and will need to take the needed precautions with respect to tender vegetation.

Monday-Thursday:
Southerly flow to return to the region with active sub-tropical jet overhead. Clouds will increase late Monday…and do not expect the sun for the next several days after that. Will bring rain chances into the forecast Tuesday-Friday, but certain days will have better chances as disturbances move across in the sub-tropical flow aloft..it will not rain the whole time…but there will be periods of rain and thunderstorms. Temperatures will be mild as southerly flow is maintained with lows in the 50’s and 60’s and highs in the 70’s.

Long Range (Black Friday-weekend after Thanksgiving):
Upper air pattern undergoes strong amplification with massive forecasted 1058mb arctic high pressure cell dropping southward out of NW Canada. Cold arctic air mass looks poise to tumble down the plains and through TX with very cold temperatures. EPAC tropical cyclone looks to be drawn NE into this very cold air mass (I have never seen an EPAC tropical system be pulled over an arctic air mass) with all kinds of precipitation. Forecast profiles are all over the place between models and model runs, but intensity of cold air mass would likely result in some degree of P-type considerations across portions of TX. This is still a good ways off and subject to significant changes over the next several days…but something to certainly be watching.

A hurricane pulled into cold air mass if unheard of. I suspect that has happened before in the past. Most likely during an El Nino year.

[Andrew]

Current indications by the HRRR suggests the cold front should push through the Bryan/College Station area by 15z tomorrow morning and 17z for the Houston area (9am and 11am respectively). Should see a sharp dip in dewpoints and temperatures along with an increase in winds. Strongest winds look to be centered over our northwestern counties along with the coastal waters where ~40-50kt winds will be possible. Moving to the week after, I caution everyone to use models with reserve as the influence of the tropical pacific is really causing havoc for how fast and how far south the front makes it. Upper levels show a lot of phasing of the associated trough as it ejects northward rather quickly but as often seen with these type of systems, the cold air keeps moving south.

Edit to add: HGX is expecting to issue a Freeze Watch for portions of SE Texas for Sunday night/early Monday morning this afternoon.

[mckinne63]

Time to move our Plumeria into the garage!

[srainhoutx]

The afternoon Updated Surface Charts from the Weather Prediction Center suggests the Arctic front will be just off the Coast as a landfalling tropical cyclone nears the West Coast of Mexico.

DISCUSSION...
AT 3 AM...SFC HIGH PRESSURE WAS LOCATED OVER NORTH TEXAS AND THIS FEATURE
WAS SLOWLY MOVING TO THE EAST. COLD TEMPERATURES PREVAIL WITH CROCKETT
DOWN TO 36 DEGREES AND HUNTSVILLE AND COLLEGE STATION DOWN TO 37
DEGREES. NOT MUCH OF A WARM UP TODAY WITH COOLER 850 MB TEMPS.
MAX TEMPS WILL PROBABLY ONLY WARM INTO THE UPPER 50S BUT AT LEAST
THE AIR MASS IS DRY SO THERE WILL BE FULL SUN TODAY...AND LIGHTER
WINDS. SPEAKING OF WINDS...WILL EXTEND THE WIND ADVISORY FOR
GALVESTON COUNTY THRU 12Z AS THE COLDER AIR FLOWING OVER THE

QUITE BULLISH WITH FREEZING TEMPERATURES BUT DEW PTS/DEW PT
DEPRESSIONS AND SOIL MOISTURE REVEAL WARMER TEMPS POSSIBLE. AT
THIS TIME FEEL THE RADIATIONAL COOLING WILL BE SUBSTANTIAL ENOUGH
TO ALLOW TEMPS TO FALL TO BELOW FREEZING OVER THE NORTHERN PART
OF THE REGION WITH THE BEST CHANCE FOR FREEZING TEMPS OVER THE NE
QUARTER OF THE CWA. HAVE ISSUED A FREEZE WARNING FOR AREAS
GENERALLY NORTH OF A BRENHAM TO CONROE TO LIBERTY LINE FROM

A WEAK S/WV MOVES ACROSS OK. THIS FEATURE COUPLED WITH AN
INCREASE IN MOISTURE COULD BRING A FEW SHOWERS BACK TO THE AREA.
MOISTURE LEVELS DEEPEN FURTHER ON WEDNESDAY AND THE FLOW ALOFT
WILL BECOME SW IN RESPONSE TO AN UPPER TROUGH OVER THE GREAT
BASIN WEAKENING AND RETROGRADING BACK TOWARD SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
IT`S JUST KIND OF A MESSY PATTERN WED-FRI WITH DISTURBANCES
EMBEDDED IN THE SW FLOW AND ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE.
THANKSGIVING LOOKS CLOUDY...HUMID WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS...NOT A
WASH OUT BUT A WARM CLOUDY DAY WITH SPOTTY SHOWERS. ECMWF AND GFS
CONTINUE TO DIFFER WITH THE TIMING OF SEVERAL FEATURES THAT WILL
AFFECT THE AREA NEXT WEEKEND. ANOTHER STRONG COLD FRONT IS POISED
TO CROSS SE TX EITHER FRI OR SAT WITH THE GFS REMAINING CONSISTENT
AND FASTER THAN THE ECMWF. A STORM SYSTEM WILL BE APPROACHING THE
MEXICAN COAST ON FRI/SAT (GFS IS AGAIN FASTER THAN THE ECMWF) AND
THE MOISTURE FROM THIS SYSTEM WILL BE DRAWN UP AND OVER TEXAS AS
THE AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT CROSSES SE TX. IT LOOKS LIKE SOME
PART OF TEXAS WILL GET A GOOD CHANCE OF RAIN...POSSIBLY SOME HEAVY
RAIN NEXT FRI-SUN. STILL WAITING FOR A BETTER MODEL CONSENSUS BUT
WILL STICK WITH 50 POPS FOR NOW. TEMPS TREND MUCH COLDER IN THE
WAKE OF NEXT FRIDAYS FRONT WITH HIGHS NEXT SAT/SUN ONLY IN THE
UPPER 40S/LOWER 50S. 43

MARINE...
WINDS ARE THE MAIN ISSUE FOR TODAY. LATEST OBSERVATIONS SHOW THAT
THE WINDS WERE DIMINISHING TO BELOW GALE FORCE EARLY THIS MORNING.
BECAUSE OF THIS...WILL LOWER THE GALE WARNING TO A SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY AT 3 AM. WINDS IN THE BAYS SHOULD STAY UP THROUGH SUNRISE
AND WILL KEEP THE ADVISORY IN PLACE THERE UNTIL 6 AM. BY THIS
AFTERNOON ONLY THE OFFSHORE WATERS BETWEEN 20 AND 60 NM SHOULD BE
EXPERIENCING WINDS AT OR ABOVE 20 KNOTS. EXPECT ALL ADVISORIES TO BE
DROPPED BY THIS EVENING...ALTHOUGH CAUTION CONDITIONS MAY LINGER
OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS DURING THE EVENING HOURS.

IN THE LONGER TERM...THERE IS A POSSIBILITY FOR SEA FOG TO FORM
DURING THE MID TO LATE WEEK AS SURFACE DEWPOINTS ARE FORECAST TO
REACH INTO THE UPPER 60S. WATER TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING RANGED
FROM 66 AT THE NORTH JETTY IN THE GALVESTON BAY ENTRANCE...TO 71
AT BUOY 42035 /20 NM EAST OF GALVESTON/...AND TO 76 AT BUOY 42019
/60 NM SOUTH OF FREEPORT. WILL PROBABLY NEED A MORE EASTERLY WIND
DIRECTION FOR FOG FORMATION GIVEN THE WATER TEMPERATURE GRADIENT.
AS OF NOW...THAT IS NOT FORECAST TO OCCUR UNTIL LATE THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING OVER GALVESTON BAY AND THE NEARSHORE
WATERS WITHIN 20 NM. HOWEVER...MARINERS SHOULD STAY AWARE OF THE
