Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 356 AM CST Sun Jan 19 2020

SHORT TERM [Tonight through Tomorrow].

Post-frontal northerlies will remain pronounced through the day as a near 1034 mb high over Oklahoma presses a tight offshore gradient across the region. Inland brisk northeast winds should range in the 15-20 mph, 25 mph in gust / coastal near 20 mph, 30 mph in gust through the day. Mostly sunny skies with temperatures sluggishly warming into the average middle 50s and low 30-40% humidities within this cold air advection pattern.

Overnight north breezes will make Monday's sunrise conditions 'feel' like freezing within dry air mass as interior temperatures fall into the 30s shortly after midnight. Monday will be another very pleasant, dry and cool day but with a much weaker northeast wind. The afternoon will again slowly warm into the middle 50s under continued low relative humidities. 31

LONG TERM [Tuesday Through Sunday].

After a cold morning on Tuesday (lows in the 30s inland and 40s near the coast), clouds will begin their return as surface high pressure moves off to the east and onshore winds make their way back to the area. Look for highs on Tuesday to peak in the 50s for a majority of the area (maybe getting into the lower 60s around our southwest counties). A strengthening onshore flow Tuesday night leads to rising moisture levels, and expect to see rising rain chances from west to east as the overnight hours progress. Low temperatures should be in the 40s inland and in the 50s near the coast. The Wednesday-Thursday time period is looking cloudy and wet with periods of showers (maybe some isolated thunderstorms too) as the next storm system slowly organizes/intensifies as it moves eastward across the Southern Plains. In the Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning time period, there are some indications by the models that locally heavy rainfall might be possible with this system near the coast and offshore. Currently have rainfall totals for this event ranging from around 1/2 to 1 inch north to close to 2 inches near the coast and offshore. The cold front with this system eventually moves through the area (late Thursday or early Friday?) and dries things out. We could see highs in the 60s/70s on Thursday, and that will probably be the warmest day of the week. Behind the front, generally expecting to see lows back down in the 30s/40s and highs in the 50s/60s. Will be carrying near normal late January temperatures and a mostly dry forecast for the weekend. 42

MARINE.

Strong 20-25 knot, with occasional gusts to 35 knots, north to northeast winds over the far offshore waters will maintain rough bay conditions and drive nearshore significant wave heights up 5 to 7 feet, 7 to around 11 foot heights offshore. Thus, Small Craft Advisory flags will remain in place through the morning. Winds will fall off to Caution criteria over the local bays this afternoon with sustained northeast winds remaining above 20 knots over the Gulf that will keep Advisory flags up through Monday morning. Monday through Wednesday's easterlies will remain moderate to strong as Plains high pressure advances east and maintains a tight east-to- west pressure gradient across the NW Gulf. This long duration east fetch will begin piling up water along eastern-facing beaches at mid week. Wednesday and Thursday water levels will likely reach and exceed 3 ft above MLLW during times of high tide. During this time, the passage of a western mid-week shortwave trough will increase shower and thunderstorm chances to likely. 31

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data.

In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
