Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 1134 PM CST Sun Dec 15 2019

AVIATION. A complicated and messy 24 hour TAF period on tap for the area. Low level moisture will continue to stream into the region beneath a stout cap. MVFR ceilings are currently spotty across the region and this trend will likely continue overnight. The moist layer deepens between 06z-09z and some streamer showers will be possible between 09-12z with a mix of MVFR/VFR ceilings. Northern TAF sites could fall to IFR at times but at this time, feel the better chance for IFR ceilings will come behind a cold front that will cross the area Monday morning. Instability and jet dynamics not looking great but after coordination with the ZHU CWSU, have added a VCTS for KIAH and points southward. Skies will begin to clear from north to south by mid/late afternoon. Winds will turn to the W in the morning and NW by afternoon. Winds in the wake of the front will become gusty.

Lastly, conditions along the coast will favor some sea fog and how that affects KGLS is uncertain. Will maintain MVFR conditions for possible lower ceilings and restrictions to visibility. Once winds become SW-W, the threat for fog will end and this is fcst to occur between 12-15z Monday. 43

PREV DISCUSSION. /ISSUED 943 PM CST Sun Dec 15 2019/

UPDATE (Through Monday Night) .

Southerly wind flow today continued to bring in warm and moist air across the region. Temperatures this afternoon reached the low 80s areawide, setting three high temperature records for the day. A record high temperature of 84 degrees was set at Houston Intercontinental Airport, breaking the old record of 82 degrees set in 1995. A record high temperature of 83 degrees was set at Hobby Airport today, breaking the old record of 81 also set in 1995. Another record high temperature of 77 degrees was set at Galveston, which ties the old record of 77 degrees set in 2012. College station was a degree short of reaching the record high of 84 degrees. But all this lovely warm air will sadly come to an end soon.

An upper level trough will move across the Rockies and into the Central Plains tonight through Tuesday. A surface low pressure will move southeastward from New Mexico into western Texas overnight, as another surface low pressure meanders over the AR/LA border. A cold front between the two lows will move across the region, passing through the College Station region at around 9 AM CST, the Houston region around noon CST, and the Galveston region around 3 PM CST.

This time around, the environment looks to be more favorable for shower and thunderstorm activity ahead and along the frontal passage. Hi-Res Precip models show activity starting around midnight CST, increasing overnight as the front moves closer to the region, and peaking along the frontal boundary. Strongest activity looks to develop across the eastern central and southeastern regions of the CWA, which coincides with the areas of higher CAPE and moisture content. Light rain could linger for a few hours behind the front, but drier and colder air mass will encompass the region Monday night suppressing further rain development. Low temperatures Monday night will drop to the low to mid 30s areas north of I-10 and to the mid to upper 30s along areas south of I-10. High temperatures will only reach the 50s on Tuesday. 24

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
