What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
Dec 4, 5:15 PM CST	HAIL 0.88	6 Sse Austwell, TX	HAIL REPORTED AT ARANSAS NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE.

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Corpus Christi, TX (KCRP), launched 12:00Z, 10.4 hours before the alert went out and 86 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado 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 tornado warning went out at Dec 4, 3:41 PM CST, 42 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 4, 3:41 PM CST, 42 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CORPUS CHRISTI TX
341 PM CST TUE DEC 4 2012

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...COLD FRONT APPROACHING
SOUTH TEXAS AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE HILL COUNTRY THIS AFTERNOON.
EXPECTING THE FRONT TO PASS THROUGH THE REGION AND INTO THE
COASTAL WATERS BETWEEN 9PM CST AND MIDNIGHT. THE CONVECTION SHOULD
ALSO MOVE OUT OVER THE COASTAL WATERS WITH THE FRONT AS PRECIPITATION
ENDS OVER INLAND AREAS LATE THIS EVENING. TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT
WILL BE 5 TO 10 DEGREES COOLER THAN THIS MORNING...HOWEVER MUCH
DRIER CONDITIONS WILL BE IN PLACE WITH CLEARING SKIES BY WEDNESDAY
MORNING. TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY WARM INTO THE 70S WEDNESDAY AFTER
NEAR RECORD BREAKING UPPER 80S HERE IN CORPUS CHRISTI THIS
AFTERNOON.

&&

.LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)...ONE MORE COOL NIGHT
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THEN THE WARM UP BEGINS. MOISTURE RETURNS RATHER
READILY...AS THIS FRONT IS NOT STRONG. HOWEVER...DEW POINTS BEGIN TO
APPROACH 70F BY SATURDAY MORNING...AND CONTINUE ON SUNDAY. THIS WILL
LIKELY MEAN FOG...FIRST INLAND FOG (POSSIBLY AS EARLY AS THURSDAY
MORNING AS WINDS ARE LIGHT AND THERE SHOULD BE GOOD RADIATIONAL
COOLING). INLAND FOG LOOKS BEST ON FRIDAY (BEFORE MOISTURE GETS
BETTER AND BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS KICK UP)...BUT THEN SEA FOG WILL
LIKELY DEVELOP STARTING SATURDAY...THEN BETTER ON SUNDAY ESPECIALLY
OVER THE NORTHERN AREAS WHERE FETCH IS BETTER AND WATER TEMPERATURES
WILL LIKELY BE A BIT COOLER. PWATS EXCEED 1 INCH OVER THE OFFSHORE
WATERS FRIDAY MORNING AND THERE COULD BE A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS...THEN
A LITTLE BETTER CHANCE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AS THE COASTAL
CONVERGENCE INCREASES. PWATS EXCEED 1 INCH THROUGH SUNDAY AND
APPROACH 1.5 INCHES IN SOME LOCATIONS. ALSO...FLOW ALOFT BECOMES
MORE SOUTHWESTERLY...AND A FEW WEAK DISTURBANCE COULD ENHANCE SHOWER
ACTIVITY OFFSHORE WHERE CIN IS LACKING. THUS...DO HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE
CONVECTION OFFSHORE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY MORNING...THEN POSSIBLY
INLAND EASTERN AREAS ON SUNDAY AS THE CAP WEAKENS AND SHOWER
ACTIVITY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO MOVE ONSHORE. AFTER THE COOL THURSDAY
MORNING...WILL KEEP THE WARMING TREND GOING AND GENERALLY STAY ON
THE WARM SIDE OF GUIDANCE...WITH LOWS IN THE 60S FOR THE WEEKEND AND
HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 80S...BUT MID/UPPER 70S NEAR THE COAST NORTH OF
PORT ARANSAS WHERE SEA FOG WILL TEMPER THE WARM UP FOR THOSE AREAS.

NEXT BIG ISSUE IS THE FRONT MONDAY. GFS IS GOING A BIT FASTER
NOW...BUT IS STILL SLOWER THAN THE ECMWF. WILL LEAN A BIT MORE
TOWARD THE ECMWF...BUT WILL BLEND A BIT OF THE GFS TOO.
HOWEVER...MAIN THING IS THE BETTER CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS
MONDAY. PRETTY GOOD TROUGH DIGS DOWN AND APPROACHES AREA
MONDAY...WITH FAIRLY POTENT 100 KNOT JET (RRQ REGION). THIS WILL
PROVIDE THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ESPECIALLY
EAST...WITH SOME ELEVATED CONVECTION POSSIBLE INTO MONDAY NIGHT
BEHIND THE FRONT. SHOULD BE MUCH COOLER ON TUESDAY...AND AGAIN HAVE
LEANED MORE TOWARD THE ECMWF NUMBERS (BUT NOT BUYING THEM TOTALLY).
