AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CORPUS CHRISTI TX
1158 PM CST THU MAR 1 2012

.DISCUSSION...SEE 06Z AVIATION DISCUSSION.

&&

.AVIATION...BASED ON SOUNDING AND NEW MODEL DATA...WILL STILL HAVE
SOME WIND SHEAR IN THE TAFS BUT LOWERED WIND SPEEDS DOWN TO 40
KNOTS (FROM 50 KNOTS). OTHERWISE BY 12Z...AM EXPECTING (IF NOT
ALREADY OCCURRING) IFR CIGS AT KVCT AND KALI...LIFR CIGS AT KLRD
AND KCRP. DUE TO THE STRONGER WINDS OFF THE DECK (I.E. WIND
SHEAR)...GOING NO MORE THAN MVFR VISIBILITIES. CONDITIONS IMPROVE
ALL AREAS BY 16Z...WITH LINGERING MVFR CIGS AT KCRP AND KVCT
AROUND 18/19Z. WIND FORECAST A BIT OF AN ISSUE BY LATE
MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON...AS TROUGH MOVES INTO THE FORECAST AREA.
FOR NOW...DECIDED TO GO WITH VRB05KT AT KALI AND KVCT...WITH NNW
WINDS AT KLRD AND WINDS BECOMING SOUTHEAST AT KCRP (DUE TO SEA-
BREEZE IN THE AFTERNOON AS TEMPS OUT WEST WARM QUITE A BIT). BY
THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD...WILL HAVE IFR OR LOWER CIGS AT ALL BUT
KLRD (VFR)...WITH VISIBILITIES 2-4SM EAST OF KLRD.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 936 PM CST THU MAR 1 2012/

DISCUSSION...FORECAST SEEMS TO BE DOING FINE SO NO CHANGES AT
THIS TIME. DISCUSSION IS MAINLY WRITTEN FOR MARINE.

MARINE...DENSE SEA FOG MAY BE MORE PATCHY THAN WIDESPREAD...SINCE
WATER TEMPERATURES NOW FROM NEAR 70 TO THE MID 70S AND DEWPOINTS
AROUND 70 WITH LOW LEVEL JET EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE WATERS
OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER....VISIBILITIES NEAR THE COAST HAVE DROPPED AT
TIMES TO LESS THAN 1 MILE...SO THINK KEEPING THE ADVISORY IS THE
RIGHT CALL FOR NOW. BASED ON OBS AND NEW MODEL DATA...THEN SCEC
FOR WINDS WILL SUFFICE FOR NOW.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 520 PM CST THU MAR 1 2012/

DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR 00Z AVIATION.

AVIATION...WILL SEE WIND SPEEDS DECREASE ACROSS THE AREA OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE HOURS AS DAYTIME MIXING CEASES. WITH A STRONG LOW
LEVEL JET EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NEAR THE COAST...OR JUST INLAND
THINK THE FOG CHANCES ARE LIMITED TONIGHT FOR MOST AREAS. MODEL
GUIDANCE VARIES SOME ON STRENGTH AND POSITIONING OF THE JET...BUT
SHOULD KEEP FOG FROM SETTING IN LEAVING JUST LOW CIGS FROM
STRATUS. ALI WILL BE ON THE EDGE OF THE POTENTIAL JET...AND MAY
HAVE FOG IF THE JET DEVELOPMENT IS A BIT FARTHER EAST. ASSUMING
THIS IS NOT THE CASE...FORECASTING WIND SHEAR FRIDAY MORNING WITH
THE 40 TO 50 KNOT JET AROUND 2KFT ABOVE THE SURFACE. LLJ IS
FORECAST TO WEAKEN BY LATE IN THE MORNING AND STRATUS SHOULD ALSO
BEGIN TO DISSIPATE FOR MOST AREAS. MODELS KEEP VCT WITH LOW CIGS
BUT EVERYONE ELSE WOULD GO VFR BY EARLY AFTERNOON.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 239 PM CST THU MAR 1 2012/

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)...WARM SOUTHERLY FLOW
WILL PERSIST FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
40-50 KT LOW LEVEL JET TONIGHT WILL LEAD TO MAINLY STRATUS AND
WARM/HUMID CONDITIONS INLAND OVERNIGHT. DENSE SEA FOG OVER THE
NEARSHORE WATERS WILL SPREAD INTO THE PORTIONS OF THE IMMEDIATE
COASTLINE AND BAYS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING EVENING...BUT
INLAND SHOULD REMAIN A LOW STRATUS DECK. TOMORROW A PRE-FRONTAL
TROUGH AXIS MOVES THROUGH THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS AND INTO THE
EASTERN BRUSH COUNTRY. CLEARING SKIES BEHIND IT AND DRIER
NORTHWEST WINDS WILL LEAD TO VERY WARM AFTERNOON HIGHS ACROSS THIS
PORTION OF THE CWA...INTO THE LOWER 90S. MID AND UPPER 80 TEMPS
ARE EXPECTED OVER THE INLAND SOUTHERN COASTAL BEND...WITH LOWER
80S ACROSS THE INLAND NORTHERN COASTAL BEND. A COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE THROUGH THE CWA BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND 6 AM ON SATURDAY. AHEAD
OF THE FRONT...COULD BE AREAS OF DENSE FOG TO DEAL WITH ACROSS THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA AND MARINE AREAS. MOISTURE DEPTH IS
RELATIVELY SHALLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT...AND ANY PRECIP CHANCES
WITH IT WILL BE ISOLATED IN COVERAGE AND CONFINED TO THE NORTHEAST
CWA.

LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE
BUILDING ACROSS S TX SATURDAY MORNING IN THE WAKE OF A STRONG COLD
FRONT. STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS WILL USHER DRIER AND COOLER AIRMASS
INTO THE AREA WITH SKIES CLEARING FROM W TO E. MAIN ISSUE FOR
SATURDAY WILL BE THE WINDS. HIGH END SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE
LIKELY ON SATURDAY WITH WINDS POTENTIALLY GUSTING TO GALE FORCE. A
COUPLE OF THE MODELS PROGD SUSTAINED GALE FORCE WINDS BUT AM NOT
CONFIDENT TO GO THAT HIGH JUST YET GIVEN OTHER MODELS ARE QUITE A
BIT LOWER...SO WENT WITH A COMPROMISE WHICH WAS CLOSE TO WHAT IS
ALREADY FCSTD FOR SATURDAY. THE STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS AND LOWERING
RH VALUES WILL ALSO LEAD TO FIRE DANGER THREAT. THERE STILL REMAINS
SOME UNCERTAINTY ON TIMING OF FRONT WHICH IN TURN WOULD DETERMINE
TIMING OF STRONGEST WINDS AND LOWEST MN RHS. MOST MODELS ARE SHOWING
RED FLAG CONDITIONS AND CURRENT FCST ALSO HAS RED FLAG
CONDITIONS...THEREFORE WENT WITH A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR SATURDAY.
IN ADDITION...WIND ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE ON SATURDAY.
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SUBSIDE THROUGH SAT EVENING. THE WEAKENING
WINDS...CLRG SKIES AND STRONG CAA WILL ALLOW TEMPS TO DROP INTO THE
40S SAT NIGHT/SUN MORNING AREA WIDE. AREAS ACROSS THE NRN TIER OF
THE CWA MAY DROP INTO THE UPPER 30S. SUNDAY WILL BE SUNNY WITH LIGHT
WINDS VEERING TO THE E AND SE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. TEMPS WILL BE MORE
SEASONAL SUNDAY WITH A GRADUAL WARMING TREND THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE EXTENDED.

MARINE...VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY THIS AFTERNOON SHOWS BAND OF
SEA FOG HAS WORKED BACK INTO THE NEARSHORE MIDDLE TEXAS GULF
WATERS. LOCAL WEBCAMS AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THE FOG IS
BECOMING DENSE. THEREFORE RE-ISSUED THE MARINE DENSE FOG ADVISORY
FOR THE NEARSHORE GULF WATERS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
ALSO ISSUED FOR THE NORTHERN BAYS FOR THIS EVENING AS FOG SHOULD
SPREAD INTO THIS AREA LATER. WILL WATCH TRENDS FOR THE SOUTHERN
BAYS CLOSELY...BUT AT THIS TIME HAVE NOT INCLUDED IN THE ADVISORY.
