.AVIATION...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH
SUNDAY AFTERNOON PRIMARILY FROM ALICE EASTWARD AS A COLD FRONT
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. ALSO...MORE DYNAMIC FORCING ALOFT DUE TO
AN APPROACHING STRONG JET STREAK WL AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF
ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS
THE EASTERN AREAS OF SOUTH TX. DUE TO THE MOIST SOUTHEAST WINDS
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...MVFR AND IFR CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN TO
DEVELOP OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE EASTERN TAF SITES. FURTHERMORE...
MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WL BE ENHANCED BY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
GRADUALLY IMPROVING CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FROM WEST
TO EAST AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES SLOWLY EASTWARD. VFR CONDITIONS
WILL BE THE RESULT AS DRIER AIR WORKS SLOWLY IN FROM THE WEST
ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS AND THEN ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF
SOUTH TEXAS BY SUNDAY EVENING.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 933 PM CDT SAT APR 17 2010/

DISCUSSION...IT WAS A VERY BUSY DAY ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS.
WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN FELL OVER MUCH OF THE AREA AGAIN TODAY...
ESPECIALLY ACROSS MCMULLEN COUNTY WHERE THEY RECEIVED UP TO
ANOTHER 10 INCHES ON TOP OF THE 15 INCHES THEY RECEIVED OVER THE
PREVIOUS COUPLE OF DAYS. ACROSS THE COASTAL BEND...3000 J/KG OF
CAPE WAS REALIZED AS AN ISOLATED SUPERCELL FORMED FROM A STORM
MERGER OVER BLUNTZER. THE STORMS BEFORE THE MERGER WERE ORIGINALLY
MOVING NORTHWEST...THEN THIS ISOLATED SUPERCELL STARTED MOVING
SLOWLY SOUTHWARD INTO THE HIGHEST CAPE. SPOTTERS REPORTED THAT A
TORNADO BRIEFLY TOUCHED DOWN WEST OF KINGSVILLE AND ALSO REPORTED
MULTIPLE FUNNELS WITH THE STORM. AT THE SAME TIME...A BOWING LINE
SEGMENT MOVED SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE BRUSH COUNTRY AND THEN INTO BRO
CWA ALONG A BOUNDARY WELL AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. THIS WAS ALSO
HELPED BY THE LEFT ENTRANCE REGION OF THE SUBTROPICAL JET. THERE
WERE REPORTS OF POWER OUTAGES...BUT IT IS UNCLEAR ATTM IF IT WAS
DUE TO THE STORMS.

FOR THE REST OF TONIGHT...A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY MAKE ITS WAY
FROM THE WESTERN CWA TOWARDS THE COASTAL PLAINS OVERNIGHT.
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ALONG AND AHEAD
OF THE FRONT AS CAPE STILL REMAINS AROUND 1800 J/KG EVEN AFTER
LOSING DAYTIME HEATING. THIS IS DUE TO MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES
REMAINING HIGH AND THERE ARE LEFT OVER SURFACE BOUNDARIES ACROSS
THE EASTERN CWFA HELPING WITH CONVERGENCE. BEHIND THE FRONT...
DRIER AND COOLER AIR AWAITS. LA SALLE...WEBB AND MOST OF MCMULLEN
COUNTIES SHOULD COOL OFF INTO THE UPPER 50S TO AROUND 60 BY THE
MORNING AS THE DRIER AIR WORKS ITS WAY IN.

ACROSS THE COASTAL BEND...TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN THE MID 60S
TO AROUND 70 OVERNIGHT AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES. IT APPEARS
NOW THAT THE FRONT WILL HAVE A VERY DIFFICULT TIME MAKING IT ALL
THE WAY THROUGH THE CWFA ON SUNDAY DUE TO THE SEA BREEZE
INTERACTING WITH THE FRONT. THIS WILL ALLOW SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE INTO THE DAY ON SUNDAY. THEREFORE...
EXTENDED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE COASTAL BEND THROUGH SUNDAY
EVENING...AGREEING WITH HPC AS THEY PAINTED OVER AN INCH OF QPF
ACROSS THE COASTAL COUNTIES THROUGH THE DAY.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 638 PM CDT SAT APR 17 2010/

DISCUSSION...PLEASE SEE THE AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW FOR MORE
DETAILS.

AVIATION...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WL GRADUALLY
WEAKEN THIS EVENING DUE TO LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. HOWEVER...
ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WL BE POSSIBLE FROM MIDNIGHT
THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING PRIMARILY FROM ALICE EASTWARD AS A COLD
FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. ALSO...MORE DYNAMIC FORCING ALOFT
DUE TO AN APPROACHING STRONG JET STREAK WL AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT
OF ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING
ACROSS THE EASTERN AREAS OF SOUTH TX. DUE TO THE MOIST SOUTHEAST
WINDS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...MVFR AND IFR CONDITIONS WL
BEGIN TO DEVELOP THIS EVENING. FURTHERMORE...MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS
WL BE ENHANCED BY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TNT AND INTO
SUNDAY MORNING. GRADUALLY IMPROVING CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
FROM WEST TO EAST AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES SLOWLY EASTWARD. VFR
CONDITIONS WL BE THE RESULT AS DRIER AIR WORKS SLOWLY IN FROM THE
WEST DURING THE MORNING ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS AND ACROSS
THE AFTN ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF SOUTH TX.
