GMZ300 Synopsis For High Island To The Matagorda Ship Channel Out 60 Nautical Miles Including Galveston And Matagorda Bays 341 Am Cdt Thu Jul 29 2021
Synopsis for high island to matagorda ship channel out 60 nm.. Light onshore winds will prevail into the weekend. A weak area of low pressure will pass by to the south swinging winds from east to northeast and back to southeast today into Friday. This will lead to an increase in rain chances today. Shower and Thunderstorm activity are expected each day, peaking during the overnight and morning hours before moving inland. Expect stronger and variable winds along with locally higher seas with any strong storms.

SHORT TERM [Today Through Friday Night].
So far (as of 3 AM), it has been a warm late July night with temperatures hovering in the upper 70s to lower 80s across much of the area (Galveston is 85 degrees!). Some clouds have developed, and we are starting to see some showers and thunderstorms forming mainly in/around the Polk-Trinity-Houston County area. Our area is close to the southern fringes of upper level ridging situated to our north, and weak disturbances along these fringes in combination with daytime heating and the sea breeze front could help to generate some showers and thunder- storms across Southeast Texas today and tomorrow. However, the main weather story will continue to be the heat. With highs in the mid to upper 90s inland and in the lower 90s at the coast and dew points expected to remain in/around the mid 70s, expect to see heat index values peaking around a 103-107 range. At this time, will not issue a Heat Advisory but will continue to monitor. Again, even without a Heat Advisory, all heat safety precautions should continue to be taken. 42
LONG TERM [Saturday through Thursday].
Hot, humid and relatively dry weather continues across southeast TX this weekend. Upper level ridge elongates from the northern Rockies to the central Plains to the southeastern CONUS and dominates the region bringing strong subsidence aloft. At the surface, southwest to south winds prevail thanks to a weak high pressure system over the Gulf. While drier conditions are expected Saturday and Sunday, isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible each day due to the interaction of seabreezes, daytime heating and a moderate surge of Gulf moisture. Most of this activity will be diurnally-driven. The main message will be the heat. Temperatures are expected to reach the mid to upper 90s at most locations and with dewpoints climbing into the mid 70s, it will feel very uncomfortable. Heat indices could potentially reach the 105-110 degrees. A Heat Advisory may be needed this weekend.
Unsettled weather returns early next week as upper level ridging retrogrades westward into the Rockies and a longwave trough develops over the eastern CONUS. This upper trough will bring a cold front southward into the southern Plains Monday into Wednesday. Deterministic guidance and most ensemble means are in general agreement that this boundary will reach southeast TX Monday night into Tuesday. Confidence in the position and/or extension of the frontal boundary as well as the moisture axis is still low. However, the GFS and ECMWF look to bring best chance for precipitation Tuesday, before stalling/dissipating over our region through late Wednesday. Have included 20-50 percent chance of precipitation starting Monday afternoon and continuing through late Wednesday.
With increasing cloud cover and precipitation chances next week, should see some relief from the heat with highs near to slightly below normal. Albeit, it is summer in TX, so temperatures will still range in the low to mid 90s. 05
AVIATION [12Z TAF Issuance].
For the 12Z TAF package, mainly VFR conditions are expected. Some SHRA/TSRA will be possible, and might need to add VCSH or VCTS. MVFR and possible IFR ceilings and/or visibilities could occur if any SHRA/TSRA activity gets close. 42
MARINE.
Light onshore winds and wave heights between 1-3 feet are expected to continue today and into the weekend. Isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible each day. This activity will mainly develop during the day. Gusty winds and higher seas are possible with any strong storms. Rain and storm chances increase early next week as a weak cold front sags southward into the region. 05
