AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CORPUS CHRISTI TX
1031 PM CDT SAT MAY 28 2005

.UPDATE...BUMPED UP POPS AREAWIDE...ESPECIALLY OUT WEST WITH THE
APPROACH OF SEVERAL STRONG TO SVR CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS.  IMPRESSIVE
VORT MAX AT 26.45N AND 103.22W WL PROVIDE SOUTH TX WITH SUFFICIENT
DIV/DIFL ALOFT TNT.  ALSO...SUFFICIENT SHEAR...CAPES AT OR ABV 2000
J/KG AND SEVERAL LOW LVL BOUNDARIES TO FOCUS CONVECTION WL KEEP PCPN
IN THE FCST FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT.  GIVEN THESE FACTORS...BLV THAT
CONVECTION WL EVENTUALLY MAKE IT INTO THE ERN AREAS...ALBEIT IN A
WEAKENED AND ELEVATED STATE.  LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WL
CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT SVRL HOURS ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS.  BLV
THE SVR THREAT WL DIMINISH THEREAFTER AS CONVECTION PUSHES FURTHER
EWD INTO A MORE STABLE AIRMASS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...UPDATED THE GRIDS AND TEXT PRODUCTS TO ACCOUNT
FOR SVR TSTM WATCH 344 WHICH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT.  AREA
RADARS SHOW A SMALL BOWING CLUSTER OF STORMS PUSHING
EAST-NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE EWX CWFA.  SATELLITE PIX INDICATE MORE
INTENSE CONVECTION DEVELOPING FURTHER SOUTHWEST ACROSS MEXICO.  LAPS
ANALYSIS INDICATES CAPES EXCEEDING 2000 J/KG FROM WEBB COUNTY NEWD
INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL TX.  THE WV VAPOR IMAGERY NOW BETTER INDICATES A
VORT MAX ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL MEXICO...SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES TO THE
WEST OF LAREDO.  ALL OF THIS INDICATES THAT ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT
OF STORMS IS LKLY...ESPECIALLY OUT WEST TNT.  WL MAINTAIN CHC POPS
OUT WEST WITH SLIGHT CHC ACROSS THE WESTERN COASTAL BEND.  BLV
CONVECTION WL HAVE A HARD TIME MAKING IT THROUGH THE EASTERN AREAS
OF THE CWA DUE TO THE MORE STABLE AIMRASS THAT RESIDES ACROSS THIS
AREA.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS MUCH OF THE EASTERN
AREAS THROUGH 8-10Z WHILE SCATTERED CONVECTION MOVES INTO THE
WEST/NORTHWEST.  THE BEST CHANCE FOR THUNDER WILL LIE ALONG THE I-35
CORRIDOR FROM LRD TO ALI AND THE STRONGER STORMS MAY PRODUCE WIND
GUSTS APPROACHING 50 MPH.  THINK A FEW OF THESE STORMS MAY PERSIST
LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE IT INTO THE FAR NORTHEAST LATE TONIGHT.  PATCHY
MVFR CIGS EXPECTED BY MORNING ACROSS THE EAST WHILE THE CONVECTIVE
DEBRIS WILL LIKELY PRECLUDE FOG DEVELOPMENT.  STILL EXPECT TEMPORARY
MVFR VISBYS IN THE VCT AREA.  CLOUDS WILL BURN OFF BY MID-MORNING
WITH VFR CONDITIONS PERSISTING AFTER THAT.
