Area Forecast Discussion

National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX

 945 PM CST Mon Dec 6 2021

.DISCUSSION...
Just minor tweaks for the evening update. Shortwave over ncntl
Mexico will continue tracking ewd overnight and toward the Tx
coast Tue morning & early afternoon. Mid-high cloudiness should limit
peak cooling potential from the front that passed thru earlier
today. Based on obs and aircraft soundings, guidance has really been
struggling with the post-fropa llvl moisture profile (too moist).
We may still see a few sprinkles in association with ascent in
the mid-levels with the approach of the shortwave later tonight
and Tue morning, but suspect a majority of any radar returns will
be associated with virga...esp northern 2/3 of the area. 47
