Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
1009 PM CDT Mon Jul 19 2021 .DISCUSSION... Showers/tstms moving off the coast this evening. Mid/upper trof axis extending from the northeast states across the TN Valley into north Tx. Disturbances rotating around this feature may lead to iso/sct precip across parts of the area overnight. PW`s will fall below 1.7" tomorrow, and with RRQ of the upper jet situated right along the coastline...thinking is that most favorable location for the better rain chances would be offshore and less so inland. Still looking for some sct daytime activity, but nudged POPs down a touch for now and will let the midnight crew further analyze things. 47 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 636 PM CDT Mon Jul 19 2021/ AVIATION... Frontal boundary/wind shift stretching from Liberty- IAH- Bellville is making steady southward progress. Ahead of the front is a mess of outflow boundaries, etc from earlier cells & the seabreeze. Convergence & collisions between any can still initiate some tstms fairly quickly, but questionable as to the details. IAH probably has another 1-2 hours of a tstm threat and HOU a bit more. Most unstable area is situated just west of I-45 & south of I-10 where pcldy skies and warmer temps are situated. Aircraft soundings, while showing some skinny CAPE/instability in the metro area, aren`t as unstable and loaded as some guidance has recently suggested and has led to considerable fcst uncertainty going forward. Some depict storms re-firing late tonight & early Tue morning closer to the coast and a spattering of cells further n/ne. Kept some VCSH`s going for some sites and will watch trends for future amendments. VFR conditions will prevail outside of any strong convection this evening. Possibly some 800-2000ft cigs developing north of the metro late tonight into mid morning. Probably some iso/sct precip development with heating Tue afternoon, but confidence as to when/where is quite low...as described above...but VFR conditions in general should prevail thru the majority of the day. 47 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
