AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
843 PM CDT WED AUG 27 2008
.DISCUSSION... Scattered showers and thunderstorms have dissiapted. At 01z... a few boundaries exist. The first is over the northeast zones between uts and lfk and another between cll and act. Satellite derived pw's and 00z sounding data shows that seasonal moisture levels linger over southeast texas. Another day of scattered late afternoon thunderstorms is expected on thursday once temps warm into the lower 90s. Current forecast has things well in hand. Only changes will be to clean up evening wording.
GUSTAV REMAINS A MAN OF MYSTERY. System looks a tad stronger than earlier today due to a convective flare up this evening. Models remain all over the map with regard to movement. 43

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 719 PM CDT WED AUG 27 2008/
AVIATION... Isolated showers and thunderstorms were dissipating across the area. Am expecting these to be cleared out by 02z. Vfr conditions will occur at most terminal sites. The main issues are mvfr conditions due to visibility restrictions at kcxo and klbx between 05z and 14z. Ifr conditions are possible between 10z and 13z at kcxo. The main issue for thursday will be the chance for thunderstorms. The 18z nam12 model data and persistence indicates that the best chances will be across the metro houston area airports after 18z.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 253 PM CDT WED AUG 27 2008/
DISCUSSION... Isolated showers and thunderstorms firing up along the seabreeze and also up near lake livingston. Will continue to see these popping up through 01z then should wane quickly with the loss of heating. Moisture remains in place thursday and friday with daytime heating being the driver for thunderstorm development. Flat upper ridging over the sw u. S. Should shift east on saturday into the srn plains/lower miss valley as heights fall in the nw. This could be the impetus to turn a slow moving gustav more nw. Saturday subsidence may be on the increase and rain chances should be creeping downward. Sunday gets more interesting as trough deepens over oregon or nevada and the impressive ridging over ohio steers gustav nw... so temperatures on sunday may be 1-3 degrees warmer than am currently forecasting. Gfs/ecmwf have been trending toward se la but the 12z gfs doesn't move it inland instead it stalls and moves sw while the gfs keeps right on moving nw. Needless to say confidence on weather monday through wednesday is a very low confidence forecast.
STAY TUNED... hurricane hunters will be all over it thursday and the gulfstream will be airborne and out surveying gustav thursday afternoon so will likely have more confidence on the track with the 00z friday run.
45 MARINE... Weak high pressure over the gulf and relatively lower pressures north texas will prevail the next few days. Gradient quite weak across cwfa marine waters. Low seas will continue. We still expect swell waves from tropical system as per nhc fcst. For now we shall not deviate much from previous fcst package gradually raising seas late in the weekend to early next week with anticipated swell waves reaching cwfa marine region. 37
