#1181054 (Received by flhurricane at: 6:06 PM 20.May.2024) AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 1259 PM CDT Mon May 20 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Tuesday Night) Issued at 225 AM CDT Mon May 20 2024 Patchy fog will be possible once again later this morning, but not expecting it to be quite as widespread or dense with surface conditions being a little bit drier than previous nights. Locations west of I-45 have the best chance of seeing fog development mainly between the timeframe of 5-9AM. Hot and dry conditions persist as we kick off the new work week, but we`ll at least have a southerly breeze to work with. Latest surface analysis shows an area of low pressure developing in the Texas Panhandle. This`ll tighten the pressure gradient a bit leading to southerly/southeasterly winds around 10 mph throughout the day. We`re still going to see temperatures top out in the low 90s, but 90s with a breeze feels waaay better than the low 90s with no wind. Heat index values will still be in the upper 90s though. That onshore flow will come back to haunt us tomorrow with increasing humidity leading to even higher heat index values. Temperatures during the overnight hours will continue to be well above normal with lows in the mid to upper 70s tonight and solidly in the upper 70s on Tuesday night. We get even breezier on Tuesday as a shortwave trough pushing through the Four Corners region generates another (and slightly stronger) surface low on the lee-side of the Rockies. The deepening of this surface low will lead to southeasterly winds around 15 mph throughout the day. Being in the warm sector of this surface low allows for moisture to increase even further. PW values will be in the 1.3-1.7" range by Tuesday afternoon (75th percentile: ~1.60"). There will also be a 20-25 kt LLJ overhead and some upper level diffluence, but with subsidence from the ridging aloft and a very robust capping inversion aloft around 850mb...don`t expect to see anything more than a higher percentage of cloud cover sticking around through Tuesday afternoon. Temperatures will still top out in the low 90s Tuesday, but with the added humidity it`ll feel like the triple digits! Heat index values are expected to be in the 99-103F range, so heat safety must remain a top priority. Be sure to 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. Batiste && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through Sunday) Issued at 225 AM CDT Mon May 20 2024 With mid/upper level ridging situated to our south and southwest throughout this period, there are some indications in a couple of the latest model runs that we might have to keep an eye on possible shower/storm development from around midweek and on into the weekend. The latest NBM continues its dry trend with only low rain chances Thursday afternoon/evening, and will stick with this for now. As has been advertised, the main concern will be the heat. High temperatures will be in the 90s, and heat index values will generally be in a 95 to 105 range (and possible getting close to heat advisory values on Monday...a week from today). Little relief will come overnight as morning lows by the end of the week and especially over the weekend will range from the low to mid 70s up north to the upper 70s to around 80 central and south. As exactly stated above and for several days now...heat safety must remain a top priority. Be sure to 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. 42 && .AVIATION... (18Z TAF Issuance) Issued at 1251 PM CDT Mon May 20 2024 Mixture of VFR/MVFR CIGs this afternoon, courtesty of a Cu field that is leading to BKN skies at GLS and FEW to SCT skies elsewhere. Expect cloud cover to become more BKN to OVC at MVFR levels tonight into Tuesday morning with a few hours of IFR CIGs possible for some locations from 12-14Z Tuesday morning. Winds will be 8-12 kts out of SE through tomorrow morning, with gusts to 20kts possible Tuesday afternoon. && .MARINE... Issued at 225 AM CDT Mon May 20 2024 Light to mostly moderate onshore winds can be expected through much of this week.

#1180975 (Received by flhurricane at: 5:06 AM 20.May.2024) AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 1154 PM CDT Sun May 19 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 313 PM CDT Sun May 19 2024 For the first time in a while, we have several days without rainfall forecast. And even when we do have rain chances on Wednesday and Thursday, activity may struggle to push too deeply into our area from the north. Despite that, however, things are not really quieting down here at The Bureau. Area rivers remain swollen, with roughly a dozen gages at or forecast to be in flood stage, with major flooding persisting on the Trinity River. Also, as rain chances take a break from plaguing us, it will be spelled by early summer heat, and temperatures may find themselves firmly into the range of full summer. Some key things to remember about the week ahead: - Major flooding continues on the Trinity River, moderate flooding on the East Fork San Jacinto, and minor flooding on other area rivers and streams. Please continue to heed the advice of local officials, and try to avoid flooded areas as possible. - Expect heat to build through the week, as we may see highs begin to push towards the mid-90s and peak heat index values around 105 degrees towards the end of the week. Though not rising to the level of our heat advisory threshold, this is still strong early heat, and it will be important to practice heat safety as we acclimate to summer conditions. This is particularly important for any remaining areas with significant power outages, as it will be difficult to find respite in air conditioned locations. - The "sneakier" avenue of heat will also be on the scene this week, with warm temperatures overnight. After Monday morning, it will be difficult for anywhere in the area to fall below 70 degrees, and later in the week, lows only in the upper half of the 70s are expected to expand out from the Gulf coast to become widespread. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Monday Night) Issued at 313 PM CDT Sun May 19 2024 A weak shortwave at 700mb coupled with onshore flow has led to a scattering of cumulus clouds across SE Texas this afternoon. These won`t amount to anything more than little cotton ball clouds as WV imagery reveals a pretty bone-dry airmass and subsidence from high pressure will suppress vertical growth. Tonight will feature pretty mild and humid weather as lows loom in the 70s for most of the area. Locations in the Piney Woods and Brazos Valley may dip into the upper 60s. With low-levels/surface allowed to dry out more today, this should keep fog development a little more sparse tonight into Monday morning. Patchy fog may still be possible across portions of the Brazos Valley and Piney Woods. Monday will feature another day of benign weather, and this meteorologist is pretty thankful for that! The warming trend will continue as the work week kicks off. Highs for Monday will be in the upper 80s to low 90s. One thing to bear in mind, that while the weather will feature beautiful sunny skies and warm temperatures, the increasing humidity combined with increasing temperatures will lead to heat indices in the upper 90s approaching 100F... Breezier winds may provide some relief from the rising temperatures tomorrow. A shortwave trough will push through the Great Plains and generate an area of low pressure. This area of low pressure will deepen and swing eastward which will lead to a tightening pressure gradient and consequently increasing winds. Monday night`s lows will provide little relief from the daytime heat as temperatures remain in the mid to upper 70s with a muggy feel. This will be the beginning of the warm trend that will continue through the long-term period. Echoing the words of the previous forecaster: Please take precautions to protect yourself and loved ones from the heat. Make sure to stay hydrated, take frequent breaks, avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day, and LOOK BEFORE YOU LOCK! && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through next Saturday) Issued at 313 PM CDT Sun May 19 2024 There is not a lot in the way of PoPs even in the long term, so let`s just get our chat about that out of the way. Our traditional summertime subtropical ridge is trying to work its way into the picture - hence the lack of PoPs - but it is not yet dominant, with an active northern stream shooting a near continuous string of upper troughs through, beating back the ridge. Since they`re only blunting the ridge, I`d expect the impact to our area will generally be minimal but this is the time of year where we still have to watch developing convective complexes warily. A sufficiently developed complex could alter the mesoscale environment enough to persist into parts of Southeast Texas, even though the models insist they will all die out before arriving. Right now, the best days I see for that are Wednesday and Thursday evenings, when a trough running through the subtropical jet stream may phase up well with a more significant northern stream trough. Even then, however, I still only bring slight chance to chance PoPs to the northernmost stretch of our area, roughly from Brenham to Huntsville to Lufkin northwestward. Beyond that, the big story is the emerging summertime conditions, particularly by next weekend. The NAEFS ensemble mean has 850 mb temps generally over the 90th percentile (and occasionally higher, like Monday and Tuesday nights), and by the weekend, consistently topping the 97.5th percentile. The Euro ensemble mean 850 temps are right in the same ballpark, though perhaps just a touch lower for the weekend...but only in the sense that large swaths of the area see things reach the 97.5th percentile, instead of most/all of the area. In exploring potential alternate scenarios, I checked out our multi-model ensemble clustering tool. And...well...it wasn`t very interesting. The top cluster was consistently very near the multi-ensemble mean for high temps, and only sporadically in lower clusters showed spotty deviation slightly up or down. Ultimately, I am seeing pretty high confidence that we`ll see some typically full summertime conditions going into the Memorial Day weekend. What do I mean by "full summertime"? I`m looking at temperatures rising into the 90s area-wide, with a number of places pushing into the middle 90s. Combine that with Gulf Coast humidity, and this will bring us to heat index values peaking out around 105 degrees. These kinds of numbers would be perfectly in place in July and August, but it is a bit on the high side for late May. We`re not quite at the point where we`d need heat advisories, but it is kinda close, it`s a holiday weekend, and a number of people may still be without power due to last Thursday`s storms as a complicating factor. On top of that, things don`t get any better at night. With persistent onshore flow, high dewpoints will be the overnight temperature floor elevated. After Monday night, we`ll struggle to see anywhere in the area fall below 70 degrees, and deep into the week, lows in the middle to upper 70s will spread outward from the Gulf Coast to swallow much of the area. This will be particularly important if getting into air conditioned places overnight is a challenge, since being unable to find times to shed the accumulation of heat stress creates a more dangerous situation for heat illness/injury. Heat stress also tends to have greater impacts in a largely unacclimated population, which we may see with this first big outdoor holiday weekend of the summer. Should numbers drift any higher, advisories are something we might need to give more serious thought to. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAF Issuance) Issued at 1150 PM CDT Sun May 19 2024 Mostly VFR conditions expected through Mon evening. There is the chance for MVFR cigs early in the morning along with the development of patchy fog over portions of SE TX, but is expected to lift and disperse near sunrise. Light SE winds through around 14Z, strengthening to around 10 KTS thereafter. Winds are expected to stay elevated through Mon night. MVFR cigs are expected to develop Mon night into early Tue. 24 && .MARINE... Issued at 313 PM CDT Sun May 19 2024 Though still drifting back to being more ESE at times, generally southeasterly winds are coming to prevail across the area today, and this onshore flow can be expected to persist through the week, generally around 15 knots across the waters. While most of the time this will be in the 10-15 knot range, at times they will drift upwards into the 15-20 knot range, and occasionally prompt stretches of caution flags. && .HYDROLOGY...
