AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
338 AM CDT SAT JUL 5 2008
.DISCUSSION...
00Z 850 MB ANALYSIS SHOWS BEST MOISTURE CONFINED TO SOUTH TEXAS WITH A WEAK TROUGH CROSSING EXTREME NORTHEAST TEXAS. At 250 mb... a strong upper level ridge was located over the southwest u. S. With a weakness noted between drt and crp. Upper level winds are convergent over southeast texas. Pw's are not as healthy as yesterday and forecast soundings indicate that convective temps will need to be in the mid/upper 80s before convection will fire. The soundings now show an inverted v signature which is a departure from yesterday so gusty winds will be possible with the stronger storms. Goes dpi pw shows some drier air working into the northern half of the region this morning. Se tx will also be in a left rear quad this afternoon and some concern that subsidence from this feature will limit rain chances. Will carry chance pops today for the southern zones and slight chance over the extreme north in the drier air. Not much change for sunday as pw's remain 1.6-1.7 INCHES AND CONVECTIVE TEMPS ARE IN THE MID 80S. A general weakness remains over texas through the first half of next week so will carry chance pops but confidence not terribly high. An upper level ridge will build into texas from the east later in the week. Heights will build and warmer temps and drier conditions are expected to return for the end of next week. 43
