You can see the moisture channel all the back down to EPAC Invest 93E
I see 93E isn't modeled to head toward our direction, but what about the east coast storms down there ? Is this headed toward TX?

Not likely, but a general unsettled pattern does look to be developing for the Eastern Pacific, Mexico and Texas. A robust Kelvin Wave is likely assisting EPAC Invest 93E in its organization process and the CCKW likely will spin up additional tropical cyclones the next couple of weeks. Nocturnal thunderstorm complexes seem likely over Mexico into the weekend and may increase as a surge of deep tropical moisture arrives over the Yucatan this weekend and spreads N and W around the Western flank of a sub tropical Ridge located to our East. This weekend we likely will see an inverted trough move out of Louisiana into the Eastern half of Texas increasing daily rain chances once again. The 4th of July Holiday period could be rather unsettled and we will have that discussion in the July Topic as the week progresses. I do believe our boring weather pattern has ended for the time being.

The short fuse meso models such as the HRRR and the NAM do suggest storms develop back down around Matagorda Bay/Victoria later this morning/early afternoon and progress NE into our Region. We need to get a shortwave located near S Central Texas to pass before we settled down for a couple of days.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
429 AM CDT Tue Jun 25 2019

.DISCUSSION...

Summary

- A weak trough passage today, with its associated energy in
tandem with a passing jet streak, will spark off scattered and
randomly placed pockets of showers and thunderstorms through the
daytime hours. Main threat would be locally high rainfall
leading to nuisance flooding due to slow storm movement.

- Overall mid to late week pattern will be one of less
precipitation as ridging builds in at all levels. Partially
cloudy days with near normal daily temperatures and weaker
onshore breezes. Slightly drier air will regulate maximum heat
indices to the upper 90s, maybe topping out at 100 F in some
spots.

- A developing inverted trough this weekend will increase overall
precipitation coverage going into early July.


.SHORT TERM [Tonight Through Wednesday]...

Enhanced lift on the east side of shortwave axis extending from cntl-
s TX will be making its way into the region today. Complex of precip
moving off the lower Tx coast looks to have temporarily disrupted
llvl wind flow along the upper Tx coast to more of a ne direction.
But once it returns to more of an onshore direction, deeper Gulf
moisture should make its way back into se TX with PW`s climbing into
the 2-2.3" range. Low convective temps, fcst CAPEs 3-4k, LI`s -5-
10, and depending on model of choice possibly a favorable position
of the jet streak should aid in sct to numerous showers/tstms today.
Look for increasing coverage near the coast this morning...expanding
inland throughout the day. Can`t rule out a few embedded pulse
strong/svr cells. Also wouldn`t be surprised to see some localized
areas that see a quick 1-3" downpour.

Precip should gradually taper off this evening with the loss of
heating. Iso/sct activity can be expected on Wed with lingering 1.8-
2.1" PW`s and seabreeze/daytime heating but overall coverage should
not be as much as we`ll probably see today considering forcing &
instability shouldn`t be as favorable. 47

&&


.LONG TERM [Wednesday Night Through Tuesday]...

Upper ridging begins to develop over the CONUS southern latitudes
and aids in suppressing any significant late work week convection.
Lower clouds and more widespread (rural) fog development during
the overnight Thursday and Friday morning hours focused primarily
west of the Interstate 45 corridor. Overall column moisture will
drop to around 1.5 inch pwats as southeasterly mid-layer flow
advects in periods of slightly higher moisture. This will translate
to partially cloudy days with relatively lower daytime humidity.
While onshore winds will generally be light and ambient
temperatures will climb into the lower 90s by noon, cloud cover
and dew points mixing out into the afternoon middle to upper 60s
will equate to maximum heat indices in the middle to upper 90s.
Pop up showers and maybe an isolated thunderstorm may form within
an uncapped and unstable afternoon air mass, focused along or just
behind the inland advancing local mesoscale sea and bay breezes.

A height weakness channel forms over eastern Texas this coming
weekend that will increase weekend POPs up into slight to low end
chance range. Models are all over the place with QPF placement
but all signal to a higher frequency of return precipitation.
Confidence lays in the area picking up more rain if timing of
higher lobes of moisture-rich air moving in from the Gulf come
across during the afternoon (or not). In summer-like fashion,
there will be little day-to-day difference in the diurnal
temperature curve with near to slightly above normal morning
minimum and afternoon maximum T values. 31

&&

.MARINE...

The passage of a weak trough and associated disturbances will
increase areal daytime maritime shower and thunderstorm coverage
today. Caution flags have been hoisted for the 20-60 nm offshore
waters through the afternoon as southeast winds have been running
around 15 to 20 knots. This recent persistent onshore fetch will
weaken through the remainder of the work week as eastern surface
high pressure expands into the northwestern Gulf. Significant wave
heights will fall to an average 1 to 2 feet by Friday afternoon
and remain that way through Monday. Rain chances will increase
over the weekend as western Gulf upper ridging weakens to general
troughiness and allows more southern Gulf disturbances to travel
northward into our local waters. 31

18Z AVIATION...Have a line of thunderstorms near the coast and
offshore. Expect some of this activity to gradually move inland
and weaken. We could see additional thunderstorms develop with
daytime heating, so even northern taf sites could see a few
thunderstorms later this afternoon. Should see considerable less
convective activity tomorrow, but isolated showers and
thunderstorms are expected with daytime heating. 33

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
435 AM CDT Wed Jun 26 2019

.DISCUSSION...

Summary

- Another day of scattered convection as early day near coastal or
marine showers come ashore and likely evolve into afternoon
scattered inland thunderstorms. Slow movers could quickly put
down an 1 to 2+ inches that could lead to nuisance low lying
area and road flooding.

- The late work week will dry out and become more hot. Due to
relatively lower atmospheric moisture, afternoon heat indices
will not become too much of an issue.

- Late June into early July transitions back to wet with higher
rain chances each subsequent day leading up to the 4th of July.
While just out of this forecast package`s extended period, the
4th of July (next Thursday) is looking like a much drier day
than Tue/Wed as upper ridging asserts more of influence over
region during the actual holiday.

.NEAR TERM [Today]...

A height weakness channel between two upper ridges positioned on
either side of eastern Texas today will set the stage for a
continued unsettled weather pattern. Moisture-rich near 2.0 inch
pwat air in line with relatively lower convective temperatures
will allow any southwestern-based early day showers to blossom as
they work their way inland within southerly steering flow. Light
precipitation is trying to blossom over the Matagorda Bay region
and this activity is forecast to fester further inland...introducing
return showers and thunderstorms to the coastal counties through
the morning hours. Mild 25H diffluence around the northeastern
periphery of a near Baja-centered jet level anticyclonic flow
will increase western forecast area afternoon convective chances.
Generally, scattered interior TS SHRA activity will produce
anywhere from a few hundredths of an inch to locally over 2 inches
where the strongest cells are slow to weaken and move out. Early
morning overcast may break up but expect a mostly overcast
afternoon...weak southeasterly breezes and periods of rain that
will keep many from exceeding the 90 F mark. The silver lining is
that heat indices will not be an issue today.


.SHORT TERM [Tonight Through Friday]...

Ridging at all levels will take hold during this period and turn
the precipitation tap off. Other than some isolated heat-of-the-
day showers or a rouge storm forming in the vicinity of the sea
and/or bay breeze meso-boundaries, POPs will remain at or under
slight probs both Thursday and Friday. Higher probabilities for
inland, mainly western county overnight low overcast and patchy
fog development over more open expanses and bodies of water. The
upper ridge stationed over west Texas will own these two days
making these days the hottest days of this 7 day period. The only
saving grace will be that overall column moisture will be on the
downtick. Thus, mostly to partially sunny days will warm into the
lower to middle 90s with afternoon humidities falling into the
50%-tile and peak heat indices ranging between 96 and 101 F.

.LONG TERM [Friday Night Through Wednesday]...

This will be the most active period of this forecast. Late June
will end on a somewhat wet note with early July starting off even
wetter. As western ridging backs off to the northwest and anchors
itself over New Mexico, an inverted trough will begin to develop
across the western Gulf going into the weekend. Much higher pwat
air in the 1.8 to 2.1 inch realm will advect up from the southern
Gulf and, with an increasingly unstable regional air mass, periods
of early day near coastal showers transitioning to interior
clustering thunderstorms will occur over subsequent days from
Saturday through Wednesday. The main storm threat will be slow
moving storms producing high rainfall rates that will likely lead
to some regional flooding issues by Tuesday or Wednesday. Due to
the consistent run-to-run nature of the extended model solutions
signaling a lingering coastal trough/height weakness channel,
confidence is growing that the end of the period, or the days
leading up to the 4th of July, will become very wet. Overcast and
periodic rain will keep afternoon warmth in the 80s (60s within
afternoon rain) with warm and humid early mornings in the average
middle 70s.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR conditions across the region early this morning. May see some
intermittent MVFR cigs develop into the mid morning hours. Look
for sct shra/tsra to develop with some daytime heating and will
likely leave the vcsh/vcts wording about the same in the 12z set
of TAFs. Precip should taper off with the loss of heating this
evening.

&&


.MARINE...
Moderate onshore winds are currently withing caution criteria so
will hoist those flags in the Gulf waters through mid morning.
Winds will gradually diminish the next couple days as surface
high pressure builds in from the east and the pressure gradient
relaxes. A surface trough will makes its way east to west across
the waters this weekend. Expect winds to back to the northeast in
advance along with increasing chances of showers and thunderstorms
as this occurs. As the trough passes, southeast winds will resume
as we head into early next week.
