| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 649am CDT Monday April 29 2024 Long Term (Wednesday through Sunday) Issued at 334am CDT Monday April 29 2024 A continued challenging and somewhat unsettled forecast for the extended. Some subtle mid level ridging will nudge the trajectory of a series of upper level impulses in the emerging sw flow aloft to favor the northern half of the region. Can't pinpoint any single disturbance or timeframe, but combination of those plus 1.7-2.0" PW's, daytime heating, and seabreeze should keep chances of shra/thunderstorms in the forecast pretty much on a daily basis during the second half of the work week and the weekend. More concerning is the potential for another weak frontal boundary to sag into the region around Friday and potentially stall. Regardless, soils across several parts of the area will be saturated and prone to quicker runoff with any additional moderate-heavy rain that decides to develop. 47 Marine Issued at 334am CDT Monday April 29 2024 Small craft advisories and high risk of rips will continue today. Strong to severe cells are in the process of approaching the coast and should be moving offshore during the early and mid morning hours. Look for strong winds and variable directions along with chaotic seas as this occurs. A long fetch of southeast winds has been in place for several days and although winds will generally be lower into midweek, seas should remain on the elevated side for a good portion of the week. Periods of unsettled weather are possible, though better shower and thunderstorm chances should be situated a bit further inland. 47 Hydrology Issued at 334am CDT Monday April 29 2024 Rivers will be on the rise...some well into moderate flood territory as heavy rain continues to runoff into area watersheds. Additional chances of rain are in the forecast throughout a good part of the week. General trajectories of the upper level disturbances into mid-late week appear to be over the same locations we saw overnight. Nothing screams anywhere as extreme as what we are experiencing, though any additional heavy rain over saturated soils will quickly runoff and cause further river responses that'll need to be monitored with time. 47 NOAA Houston/Galveston TX Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories TX...Flood Watch until 10am CDT this morning for TXZ164-177>179- 198>200. Beach Hazards Statement through this evening for TXZ436>439. GM...Small Craft Advisory until 10am CDT this morning for GMZ330-335- 350-355. Small Craft Advisory until 4pm CDT this afternoon for GMZ370- 375. |
