What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this gale warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Corpus Christi, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this gale warning went out at Dec 19, 5:54 AM CST, 3 hours 43 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 19, 5:54 AM CST, 3 hours 43 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CORPUS CHRISTI TX
554 AM CST WED DEC 19 2012
.DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR THE 12Z AVIATION DISCUSSION.
&&
.AVIATION...MVFR CEILINGS WITH INTERMITTENT MVFR/VFR VISIBILITIES
THROUGH 15Z. MVFR CEILINGS WILL LINGER AROUND VCT THROUGH MUCH OF
THE TAF PERIOD. WARM AND DRY AIR MIXING TO THE SURFACE SHOULD
ALLOW VFR CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP AT LRD LATE THIS MORNING...THEN AT
ALI AND CRP THIS AFTERNOON. BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS WILL
DEVELOP TODAY...WITH THE STRONGER WINDS GENERALLY FROM ALI- CRP AS
A SOUTHERLY 35-40 KNOT LLJ SLOWLY MIXES TO THE SURFACE THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. WINDS SHOULD RELAX THIS EVENING...WITH LIGHT AND
VARIABLE WINDS DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF THE A COLD FRONT
PASSAGE. THE FRONT SHOULD MOVE THROUGH FROM NORTHWEST TO
SOUTHEAST...REACHING THE SITES BETWEEN 06-10Z. STRONG NORTHERLY
WINDS WILL DEVELOP WITH GUSTS UP TO 35 POSSIBLE.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 502 AM CST WED DEC 19 2012/
SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...WINDS PLAY A BIG ROLE
THROUGH THE SHORT TERM AS THE WEATHER SYSTEM OVER THE CENTRAL
PLAINS CONTINUES TO DEVELOP. THE UPPER TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO
SWING EAST OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS...WITH DEEPENING IN THE SURFACE
LOW. THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY YET SURELY MOVE THROUGH
TEXAS...REACHING SOUTH TEXAS LATE TONIGHT...PUSHING OFFSHORE
AROUND 09Z-12Z.
AHEAD OF THE FRONT...TIGHTENING IN THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT
WILL LEAD TO ANOTHER BREEZY TO WINDY DAY OVER THE AREA. THE 35-40
KNOT LLJ OVER THE REGION CONTINUES TO BRING MOISTURE TO THE
AREA. HOWEVER MOISTURE DEPTH IS CONFINED FROM THE SURFACE TO H9.
THE STRONG ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE WILL CONTINUE TO ALLOW FOR STRATUS
TO DEVELOP AND SPREAD...WITH LIGHT RAIN/DRIZZLE POSSIBLE THROUGH
THE REST OF THE MORNING. THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW AT H85 WILL WARM
THE REGION...CAPPING THE AREA...ENDING MUCH IN ANY PRECIPITATION
BY THE AFTERNOON. AM THINKING THAT THE CLOUD COVER WILL HINDER IN
HOW QUICKLY THE LOW LEVEL JET WILL MIX TO THE SURFACE BEFORE IT
WEAKENS TO PRECLUDE THE NEED FOR A WIND ADVISORY. HOWEVER ISOLATED
LOCATIONS MAY EXPERIENCE A BRIEF PERIOD OF GUSTS FROM 35-40 MPH
THIS AFTERNOON...PARTICULARLY OVER THE SOUTHERN COASTAL BEND
COUNTIES. ANOTHER WARM DAY IS IN STORE FOR THE WESTERN AREAS WHERE
CLOUD COVER SHOULD QUICKLY DISSIPATE ALLOWING FOR TEMPS TO REACH
TO NEAR 90 DEGREES IN LOCATIONS. OVER THE EASTERN
AREAS...CONTINUED NEAR TEMPERATURES EXPERIENCED YESTERDAY.
FOR TONIGHT...WINDS WILL RELAX AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD
FRONT. WITH THE TIMING OF THE FRONT...CONTINUED THE WARMER
OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES WELL THROUGH 6Z-8Z...WITH TEMPERATURES
RAPIDLY COOLING WITH THE FROPA. WINDS WILL SHIFT OUT OF THE
NORTH WITH DRIER AND COOLER AIR FILTERING IN THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
CURRENTLY NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN THE WAY WITH PRECIP. PWATS
CONTINUE TO REMAIN AT OR BELOW 1 INCH WHICH IS ENOUGH MOISTURE
FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. HOWEVER...WITH THE PAST FEW DAYS OF RECORD
BREAKING TEMPERATURES DUE TO THE H85 FLOW...A STRONG CAP REMAINS
OVER THE REGION.
FOR THURSDAY...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH INTO
THE REGION WITH A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT LEADING TO WINDY
CONDITIONS. AREAS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COASTAL LOCATIONS...MAY
REQUIRE A WIND ADVISORY AS LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES MAY BE HIGH
ENOUGH TO MIX DOWN THE STRONGER WINDS ABOVE THE SURFACE. WINDS
SHOULD RELAX THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...WITH COOLER DAYTIME
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 60S AREA WIDE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES REMAIN IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON FOR THE GULF WATERS. A GALE WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR
THE GULF WATERS FOR LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY AFTER THE COLD
FRONT PASSAGE. NORTH WINDS AFTER THE FRONT ARE EXPECTED TO REACH
34 TO 47 KNOTS...WITH SEAS BUILDING TO 6 TO 7 FEET OVER THE
NEARSHORE...AND SEAS BUILDING TO 9 TO 12 FEET OVER THE OFFSHORE
WATERS. A GALE WARNING WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED.
FIRE WEATHER...HAVE EXTENDED THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR MOST OF
SOUTH TEXAS. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL DROP TO 25 PERCENT AND
BELOW...WITH RH VALUES ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS IN THE LOWER
TEENS. THIS IS IN CONJUNCTION WITH STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS THAT
WILL DEVELOP IN WAKE OF A COLD FRONT AS WELL AS WITH DRY FUELS. A
RED FLAG WARNING WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED.
LONG TERM (THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
OVER SOUTH TEXAS ON FRIDAY MORNING WILL BRING COLD TEMPERATURES TO
REGION WITH SOME FREEZING TEMPERATURES OVER THE NORTHERN TIER OF
COUNTIES. HIGH MOVES QUICKLY EAST...RESULTING IN A GRADUAL WARMING
TREND THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WITH ZONAL FLOW ALOFT...WILL KEEP THE
FORECAST DRY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES
MONDAY...MODELS SHOW SOME DIFFERENCES WITH GFS SHOWING SOME ENERGY
EARLY MONDAY WHILE ECMWF AND CANADIAN ABOUT 12 HOURS BEHIND. WILL
TRIM POPS SOME (JUST HAVE THEM OVER THE NORTHEAST ON MONDAY)...THEN
GO WITH LOW END POPS STARTING MONDAY NIGHT. FRONT APPROACHES ON
TUESDAY...GFS KEEPS MOISTURE AROUND WHILE ECMWF DRIES THINGS OUT.
WILL GO WITH LOW CHANCE POPS NORTHEAST (ENERGY ALOFT BETTER
THERE)...WITH SLIGHT CHANCE ELSEWHERE. WILL GRADUALLY DRY THINGS OUT
TUESDAY NIGHT AND END RAIN CHANCES WEST TO EAST. COLD NIGHT NEXT
TUESDAY NIGHT. OVERALL...WENT ON THE COOLER SIDE OF GUIDANCE POST
FRONTAL...NEAR OR BELOW GUIDANCE FOR START OF RETURN FLOW...THEN
ABOVE MOS FOR SUSTAINED ONSHORE FLOW PERIODS (BASICALLY THE WEEKEND
THROUGH MONDAY).
