Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 1233pm CST Sat Dec 14 2024 Long Term (Monday through Friday) Issued at 325am CST Sat Dec 14 2024 Above normal temperatures will prevail until the middle of next week with a prevailing WAA (Warm Air Advection - the movement of warm air) regime in place. The front we were looking at for Mon-Monday night just doesn't look like it'll have enough support to make it this far south. As such, have nudged temps up a bit - esp at night. Otherwise, cloudy/soupy weather will continue with the nearly saturated low level moisture column holding. Would anticipate some periods of isolated-scattered light rain, drizzle and fog at times until the next stronger front arrives sometime Wednesday or Wednesday night. Showers and thunderstorms ahead of this boundary will clear out with the frontal passage followed by more seasonable wx. A fairly strong push of cold air should drop southward out of Canada late in the week. Trajectory of this airmass looks to skirt a bit more to the east per latest model runs compared to yesterday, but we should see a reinforcing shot of cooler air on its western periphery nonetheless. 47 Marine Issued at 325am CST Sat Dec 14 2024 East and southeast winds are beginning a slow downward trend, but seas will take a while to diminish today. Seas are still 7-8 feet well offshore so will maintain Small Craft Advisories there in addition to issuing another rip current statement for area beaches. Onshore flow will prevail into the middle of next week. Occasional periods of fog are a possibility, moreso in the bays, as warmer air continues to move over cooler water. The next cold front will push off the coast Wednesday. 47 NOAA Houston/Galveston TX Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories TX...High Rip Current Risk until 6pm CST this evening for TXZ436>439. GM...Small Craft Should Exercise Caution until midnight CST tonight for GMZ370-375. |
