COASTAL BEND FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CORPUS CHRISTI TX 300 PM CDT FRI JUN 22 2001 IN THE NEAR TERM...ISOLATED SHOWERS DEVELOPING ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS IN THE VICINITY OF A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY. CONVECTION MAKING VERY LITTLE SOUTHWARD PROGRESS AT THIS TIME...AS IT DIES JUST NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS PROGGED TO REMAIN NORTH OF THE AREA AND THEN WASHING OUT. THE LEAD MID LEVEL TROUGH HAS ALREADY MOVED EAST OF THE AREA. H5 RIDGE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST. SOME LOW AND MID-LEVEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN TRAPPED UNDER THE RIDGE FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...COMPLETE SUNNY SKIES NOT EXPECTED. THE MAIN FORECAST PROBLEM FOR TODAY WILL BE THE INCLUSION OF POPS FOR THE FIRST PERIOD. MODELS PROG LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE BULLSEYE OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL ZONES WITH THE AXIS STRETCHING WESTWARD. AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM NOT COMPLETELY OUT OF THE QUESTION BUT DO NOT PLAN TO INCLUDE IN THE ZONES AT THIS TIME UNLESS CONVECTION TO THE NORTH INCREASES BEFORE ISSUANCE TIME. EXTENDED FORECAST...BY EARLY NEXT WEEK RIDGE AXIS SHARPENS AS TROUGH OVER THE EAST CLOSES OFF. MOISTURE WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE AND THE LOW WILL SHIFT FROM TO THE NORTHWEST. VORT AND MOISTURE AS WELL AS HEATING COULD TRIGGER ISOLATED/WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...WILL INCLUDE IN MOST ZONES. MARINE...HIGH PRESS HAS SETTLED ACROSS THE NW GULF...RESULTING IN VRB WINDS OFFSHORE AND A WEAK E TO SE FLOW ACROSS THE BAYS. THE MODELS BRING WINDS AROUND TO THE S TONIGHT. HOWEVER...WITH ANOTHER BOUNDARY LOCATED ACROSS CENTRAL TX PROGD TO STALL N OF FA AND HIGH PRESS BEHIND THE BOUNDARY SHIFTING E...FEEL WINDS OVER THE MARINE AREAS WILL BE GENERALLY VRB. BY SAT...THE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN SLIGHTLY AS THE HIGH OVER THE GULF SHIFTS FARTHER E AND LOW PRESS TO THE WEST DEEPENS. A WEAK TO MOD ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONT THROUGH MID WEEK. WINDS EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SCEC CONDITIONS THROUGH THE PERIOD. PRELIM NUMS... CRP BB 071/094 073/094 073 --- VCT BB 070/093 071/094 072 --- LRD BB 075/099 074/098 075 1-- .CRP...NONE.
