SHORT TERM
(Today through Monday Night)
Issued at 312 AM CDT Sun May 19 2024
The City of Houston experienced just its second 90+°F day of the year on Saturday, but there's plenty more where that came from! Before we get to that though...if you have any plans to hit the roadways later this morning, be aware of the potential of patchy dense fog. With light winds, saturated soils, and clear skies allowing for radiational cooling to drop temperatures to the dew points, we have a fairly decent fog setup. We are a bit drier this morning though thanks to the plentiful sunshine on Saturday, so the fog likely won't be quite as widespread. Locations west of I-45 look to have the best odds of patchy fog this morning. Any fog that develops will burn off by 9-10am. From there our attention turns to the hot temperatures once again. With ridging aloft still in place, we're expecting another day with high temperatures in the low 90s.
Heat index values will be in the upper 90s once again, but at least we'll have a noticeable southeasterly breeze this time around. That southeasterly breeze is a blessing for now (especially for those still without power), but will be part of our downfall later on in the week when you see what the additional humidity does to our heat index values.
Monday will be just about the same as Sunday, but a little bit breezier thanks to a tighter pressure gradient. A shortwave trough pushes through the Central Plains and generates surface low pressure on the lee-side of the Rockies. As the low deepens and nudges eastward, it tightens our pressure gradient further. It also places us in its warm sector, so we'll start to see our humidity climb further thanks to the enhanced moisture transport. This leads to heat index values seeing a slight rise into the 96-100°F range. The upward trend in heat index values don't stop there, so it remains very important to keep heat safety as a top priority...especially for those still without power. Overnight lows will increase from the low 70s tonight to the mid/upper 70s Monday night, so there's not much relief from the warmer temperatures. Be sure to take the proper precautions to protect yourself and your loved ones from the stresses of heat: drink plenty of water, take frequent breaks, avoid strenuous outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day, know the signs of heat stroke/heat exhaustion, and ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS look before you lock your vehicle. Don't forget about your pets as well! If the ground is too hot for the palm of your hand, then it is too hot for their paws.

LONG TERM
(Tuesday through Saturday)
Issued at 312 AM CDT Sun May 19 2024
Heat continues to be the main concern in this forecast period. The area will remain on the northern edge of mid/upper level ridging, but a weakness in the ridge still looks like it could develop around midweek that could allow for possible showers/thunderstorms to enter the area (mostly in our northern counties where the weakness is strongest and an eastward moving disturbance/impulse skirts across the area).
Will close out the week and start next weekend on the dry side for now, but we will need to keep an eye on the strength of the ridge as any weakness on the northern fringes could allow for another chance of rain (again, mainly across our northern counties).
For high temperatures, will generally stick with around 90 to the low 90s Tuesday through Thursday, then trend upward a degree or two (around a 90 TO 96 range) heading into Friday and Saturday. Low temperatures will be on the warm side too, generally in a 72 to 77 or 78 degree range throughout the period.
Peak heat index values will be in the low 100s daily (generally 100 to 105), so make sure all heat safety precautions are being taken to stay safe!

(06Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 1106 PM CDT Sat May 18 2024
VFR conditions will continue through the next few hours, then increasing low level clouds and patchy fog will be a concern overnight. CIGs will lower to MVFR conditions area-wide by 9-11z with periods of IFR to even LIFR conditions with CIGS down to 400-700ft. Patchy fog will also lower visibilities down to 2-5mi and becoming denser at times - though shouldn't be as dense or as prolonged as last night. Fog dissipates after sunrise with the clouds scattering out through the morning with VFR conditions returning around 15z. Clear skies will prevail through the day tomorrow with southeasterly winds around 6-11kt.

Minor to major river flooding continues for parts of Southeast Texas, particularly along portions of the Trinity, Brazos, and San Jacinto rivers. The following river points are either currently in flood stage or are forecast to reach flood stage (as of early Sunday morning):
MAJOR// ------- - Trinity River (Liberty): Major Flood Stage - Trinity River (Goodrich): Major Flood Stage
MODERATE// ---------- - Trinity River (Riverside): Moderate Flood Stage - Trinity River (Moss Bluff): Moderate Flood Stage - East Fork San Jacinto (New Caney): Moderate Flood Stage
MINOR// ------- - Menard Creek (Rye): Minor Flood Stage - Lake Creek (Sendera Ranch Rd.): Minor Flood Stage - Navasota River (Normangee): Minor Flood Stage - Brazos River (Rosharon): Minor Flood Stage - Brazos River (Richmond): Minor Flood Stage (forecast)
- Brazos River (Sugar Land): Minor Flood Stage (forecast)
Remember to heed any instructions from your local officials and to never travel through ANY flooded areas or roadways. TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN. Please monitor updated forecasts via the NWS AHPS website and/or the new NWS NWPS webpage (https://water.noaa.gov/) as the river flood threat persists.

CLIMATE
Issued at 312 AM CDT Sun May 19 2024
Still amazed with how much rain parts of our northern counties have received so far this year. Through May 17th, Huntsville's (UTS) 50.14 inches was 35.01 inches above normal and was the wettest on record start to the year (previous record was 22.37 inches in 2004). Huntsville's records date back to 4/1/1998.
