SOUTHEAST TEXAS FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
305 AM CDT SUN OCT 8 2000

PRECIP APPEARS TO BE FOCUSED ON THE POSITION OF THE 85H FRONT WHICH 
LIES ACROSS SE TX. THIS BOUNDARY IS PROGGED TO SLOWLY SHIFT SOUTH 
TODAY (AND WEAKEN) AND RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TO TAPER OFF LATER THIS 
MORNING AS DRIER AIR ADVECTS INTO THE AREA FROM THE NE. WL FOLLOW 
AVN/ETA LEAD AND DRY THINGS OUT BUT WL KEEP SKIES MO CLDY AS MSTR 
STREAMING INTO THE AREA ON THE SUBTROPICAL JET SHOULD AT LEAST KEEP 
CONSIDERABLE HIGH CLOUDS OVER THE REGION. RAIN...WINDS AND CLOUD 
COVER SHOULD LIMIT THE DIURNAL TEMPERATURE RISE TODAY AND ANOTHER 
DAY OF RECORD LOW MAXIMUMS LOOKS LIKELY. WL KEEP THE WIND ADVISORY 
UP FOR COASTAL COUNTIES TODAY BUT FEEL THIS CAN BE DROPPED BY 
LUNCHTIME AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT SLOWLY WEAKENS AND WIND SPEEDS 
SLOWLY DECREASE BELOW THE 25 MPH CRITERIA.

BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER TONIGHT WOULD TEND TO FAVOR COOLER TEMPS 
AND WILL LEAN TOWARD ETA/NGM BLEND. WL REMAIN OPTIMISTIC FOR SOME 
SUNSHINE ON MONDAY BEFORE ANOTHER S/WV APPROACHES THE REGION MONDAY 
NIGHT AND TUESDAY BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS TO THE REGION.

EXTENDED: WL AWAIT THE NEW MRF RUN BEFORE DECIDING WHAT TO DO. AS IT 
STANDS NOW...THE END OF THE WEEK LOOKS TO BE WARMER AND DRIER.

.KHGX...WIND ADVISORY COASTAL COUNTIES TODAY.
        SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY ALL MARINE AREAS.
