AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CORPUS CHRISTI TX
702 AM CDT WED JUN 30 2010

.DISCUSSION...SEE DISCUSSION FOR 12Z TAFS.

&&

.AVIATION...SHOULD GENERALLY SEE MVFR CONDITIONS EVEN OUTSIDE
CONVECTION...BUT CONVECTION WILL GENERALLY BE NEAR OR AROUND FOR
MOST OF THE PERIOD SO DO HAVE AT LEAST -SHRA IN THE TAFS (KLRD
FIRST PERIOD HAS VCSH). DID INCLUDE THUNDER IN TAFS FOR THE
AFTERNOON HOURS WITH ANY AVAILABLE DAYTIME HEATING...AND
OVERNIGHT EASTERN TAFS AS ALEX EXPECTS APPROACHES NORTHERN MEXICAN
COAST. EXPECT CIGS AND VSBYS AT TIMES TO BE AOB IFR CONDITIONS AS
THE RAINFALL WILL BE QUITE HEAVY AT TIMES. GUSTY WINDS FOR MOST OF
THE TAF PERIODS...ESPECIALLY IN SQUALLS. TRIED TO MAKE THE TAFS
SHORT...BUT DID WANT TO INCLUDE PERTINENT INFORMATION IN TEMPO
GROUPS (SUCH AS THE BEST TIMES FOR THUNDER) AS TROPICAL ACTIVITY
GENERALLY IS MORE SHOWERY THAN THUNDER.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 402 AM CDT WED JUN 30 2010/

SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...IT WILL RAIN...AND RAINFALL
WILL BE HEAVY...SO A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED THROUGH
THURSDAY BUT WILL LIKELY HAVE TO BE EXTENDED IN TIME. 06Z SOUNDING
FROM KCRP SHOWS 2.66 PWATS...WITH 2.88 PWATS AT KBRO. THESE HIGH
VALUES WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT TWO
DAYS...SO NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT IS THE MAIN CONCERN FOR THIS
FORECAST PERIOD. WINDS AND QPF FORECASTS ARE BASED ON NHC AND HPC
GUIDANCE...RESPECTIVELY. ONLY POSITIVE THING ABOUT ALL THIS IS
THAT THE DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER...WITH HIGHS ON
THURSDAY LIKELY NOT MAKING IT INTO THE 90S ANYWHERE. MUGGY LOWS
TEMPS WITH HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT. NOT MUCH IN SUN...ESPECIALLY
THURSDAY. SQUALLS WILL INCREASE WINDS WHEN THEY MOVE THROUGH...SO
EXPECT HIGHER GUSTS THAN NORMAL. SEE RELATED PRODUCTS FOR MORE
DETAILS.

MARINE (TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...WINDS AND SEAS WILL CONTINUE TO
INCREASE...AND BE HIGHER IN SQUALLS. EXPECT SEAS TO INCREASE TO
ABOUT 22 FEET OVER THE SOUTHERN OFFSHORE WATERS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON OR TONIGHT...THEN DECREASE...WITH SEAS ABOUT 13 TO 16
FEET NORTHEAST NEARSHORE. SEAS MAY EVEN BE HIGHER IF ALEX VEERS
FROM ITS FORECAST TRACK (NORTH OR SLOWER) OR INTENSITY (HIGHER).
TROPICAL STORM WARNINGS CONTINUE...WITH WIND GUSTS EVEN HIGHER
IN SQUALLS. RECREATIONAL MARINERS ARE URGED TO REMAIN IN PORT.

LONG TERM(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...HURRICANE ALEX SHOULD BE WELL
INLAND BY THE START OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD ACROSS CENTRAL/NORTHERN
MEXICO...WEAKENING STEADILY. HOWEVER...DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL
CONTINUE TO FLOW INTO SOUTH TEXAS THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO THE
BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. THE 00Z GFS ACTUALLY PROGS PWATS AT 2.2-2.6
INCHES ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE END OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. HIGH
PRESSURE CENTERED OVER MISSOURI FRIDAY WILL SLOWLY MOVE TO THE EAST
AND REMAIN ACROSS THE APPALACHIANS THROUGH THE REST OF THE EXTENDED
PERIOD. THE VERY DEEP MOISTURE ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS WILL ALLOW FOR
TROPICAL DOWNPOURS...AND HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE UNDER ANY
SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS THAT FORM. ISOLATED AMOUNTS UP TO 10 INCHES
MAY BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COASTAL BEND AND SOUTH OF
HIGHWAY 59...BY THE TIME THE WEEKEND IS OUT. KEPT LIKELY POPS GOING
THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT AND THEN BUMPED UP POPS TO MIDDLE TO HIGH END
CHANCE THROUGH SUNDAY. ALSO UPPED POPS FOR THE REST OF THE EXTENDED
AND HAVE MAINLY CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA
THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD DUE TO HIGH MOISTURE AND A POTENTIAL
TROPICAL WAVE.

WITH LIGHT WINDS AND DEEP MOISTURE...THERE WILL BE AN INCREASED RISK
OF TROPICAL FUNNELS/WATER SPOUTS/LAND SPOUTS ACROSS THE COASTAL BEND
AND WATERS. THE PASSAGE OF ALEX WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO BOUNCE
BACK UP TO NORMAL VALUES.
