Severe Thunderstorm Warning 67, NWS Corpus Christi, TX

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CORPUS CHRISTI TX
243 PM CST MON NOV 6 2006

.SHORT TERM...WEAK CONVECTION FIRING THIS AFTERNOON ALONG A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY NORTH OF OUR CWFA. THESE STORMS WILL AFFECT THE
VICTORIA CROSSROADS AREA THROUGH EARLY EVENING. WITH DYNAMICS AND
MOITURE BECOMING INCREASINGLY FOCUS EAST OF HERE...EXPECT VERY
LIITLE WESTWARD REDEVELOPMENT.

AFTER THIS CONVECTION PASSES...DRY AND SEASONABLY WARM CONDITIONS
WILL HOLD THROUGH THE REST OF THE SHORT TERM AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS INTO SOUTH TEXAS. DRY AIR FILTERING INTO THE REGION SHOULD
RESULT IN MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES THROUGH MIDWEEK.

MOS TEMPERATURES MATCH UP WELL WITH GOING FORECAST AND
CLIMATOLOGY...SO WILL USE WITH MINOR ADJUSTMENTS FOR DIURNAL
TEMPERATURE RANGES.

&&

.MARINE...WAVES WILL CONTINUE WELL ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD
DESPITE VERY LIGHT WINDS. WAVE HEIGHTS...CURRENTLY MARGINAL
SCA...SHOULD SLOWLY DIMINISH THROUGH THE SHORT TERM.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED EXCEPT FOR LIGHT PREDAWN FOG
OVER EASTERN SITES...IMPACTING VISIBILITIES THROUGH MID MORNING.
OTHERWISE NO RESTRICTIONS ANTICIPATED WITH SURFACE FLOW BECOMING
LIGHT NORTHERLY.

&&

.LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...VERY LITTLE CHANGE FROM
PREVIOUS FORECAST WITH PRETTY GOOD RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY THRU END
OF WEEK. SFC HIGH PRESSURE PROGGED TO COVER THE NRN GULF WEDNESDAY
WHICH WILL QUICKLY SHIFT EASTWARD AS LEE TROFFING DEVELOPS FROM THE
SRN ROCKIES INTO WEST TEXAS. BROAD UPPER TROF WILL SETTLE INTO THE
WRN U.S. LATE WEEK WITH SWRLY FLOW ALOFT DEVELOPING OVER SOUTH
TX...BUT MOISTURE DEPTH WILL BE LACKING UNTIL EARLY IN THE WEEKEND
TO INTRODUCE ANY CHANCE OF POPS. DOES APPEAR WE WILL HAVE ENOUGH
MOISTURE AROUND BY EARLY SATURDAY MORNING TO INTRODUCE SLIGHT CHANCE
OF POPS ON OVER THE ERN HALF OF AREA. MODELS START TO DIVERGE ON
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AS GFS STALLS FRONT RIGHT ACROSS OUR NRN
BOUNDARY AND THEN LIFTS IT BACK NORTH AND KEEPS IT THERE UNTIL
TUESDAY WHEREAS ECMWF AND CANADIAN BRING A PRETTY STRONG FRONT THRU
HERE ON SATURDAY WITH A 1030 MB HIGH OVER THE SRN PLAINS. ZONAL
UPPER AIR PATTERN DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS SCENARIO...BUT OF COURSE
WITH THESE SHALLOW COLD AIRMASSES...THEY SOMETIMES SURGE SOUTHWARD
REGARDLESS. WILL CONTINUE TO GO WITH THE GFS SCENARIO AT THIS POINT
WHICH SEEMS TO BE MORE CONSISTENT. TEMPS LOOK TO BE AROUND 10
DEGREES ABOVE CLIMO WED-FRI AND WILL KEEP WARM TEMPS THRU THE
WEEKEND...BUT AGAIN WILL BE WATCHING FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF A FAIRLY
STRONG FRONT MOVING THRU ON SATURDAY.
