AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CORPUS CHRISTI TX
1134 AM CST WED JAN 11 2012

.DISCUSSION...MINOR CHANGES MADE TO HOURLY TEMP/RH GRIDS FOR
TODAY TO RE-ESTABLISH TRENDS. NO OTHER CHANGES REQUIRED. DRY
SOUTHWEST FLOW TODAY WILL RESULT IN WARM CONDITIONS. STRONG COLD
FRONT STILL ON SCHEDULE FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD.

12Z AVIATION BELOW.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. MAIN ISSUE IS
THE WIND FORECAST. SW WINDS TODAY...WITH A FEW GUSTS TO 15-20 KTS
ACROSS ERN TAF SITES THRU 00Z. STRONG COLD FRONT...CURRENTLY
MOVING THRU NW TX...WILL ARRIVE INTO S TX OVERNIGHT. CURRENT
TRENDS HAVE THE FRONT ARRIVING TO VCT-LRD LINE AROUND 06Z AND TO
CRP AROUND 07Z-08Z. STRONG AND GUSTY N WINDS WILL DEVELOP BEHIND
THE FRONT...WITH GUSTS INCREASING TO OVER 30 KTS BY 12Z AND
PERSIST THRU THU MORNING.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 428 AM CST WED JAN 11 2012/

DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY TONIGHT. SEE
WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES SECTION.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 419 AM CST WED JAN 11 2012/

SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...AGAIN BASICALLY A
TEMPERATURE FORECAST WITH THE MAIN OTHER ISSUE BEING THE TIMING OF
THE COLD FRONT. SHOULD SEE A WARM AND SUNNY DAY TODAY BEFORE THE
BIG COOL DOWN THURSDAY WITH MID AND HIGH CLOUDS INCREASING DURING
THE DAY. BASICALLY WENT 10 TO 12 DEGREES WARMER FOR HIGHS TODAY
AREA-WIDE...AS WESTERLY WINDS OFF THE DECK WILL MAKE FOR A QUICK
WARM UP (AFTER A COOL START...SO DIURNALS TODAY WILL BE LARGE).
FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE CWFA AROUND MIDNIGHT...THEN THROUGH THE
OFFSHORE WATERS BY 12Z THURSDAY (NOT TOO MANY MODEL DIFFERENCE ON
THIS SO WENT CONSENSUS ON THE FRONT). SHOULD SEE ABOUT A 20 DEGREE
COOL DOWN ON HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR THURSDAY...WITH BREEZY TO WINDY
CONDITIONS. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WITH FRONT WAY TOO LIMITED FOR ANY
RAINFALL PRIOR TO FROPA...AND REMAINS SO AFTER FROPA SO AIRMASS
TOO DRY FOR ANY PRECIPITATION DESPITE INCREASE IN CLOUDS (WILL BE
MID AND HIGH CLOUDS) AND SOME WEAK UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT.
OVERALL...WENT ON THE WARM SIDE OF GUIDANCE FOR TODAY (IF NOT
HIGHER)...BUT ON THE COOLER SIDE BEHIND THE BOUNDARY.

MARINE (TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...OFFSHORE FLOW THIS MORNING WILL
BECOME SOUTHERLY TONIGHT BUT REMAIN BELOW ANY FLAGS. STRONG
OFFSHORE FLOW BEHIND FRONT TONIGHT WILL BRING THE FLAGS UP. WILL
GO WITH SCA (AND HAVE ISSUED/UPDATED CWF) SINCE SURROUNDING
OFFICES HAVE ALREADY ISSUED SO WILL KEEP CONSISTENCY SINCE SCA
CONDITIONS DO SEEM ALL BUT INEVITABLE.

FIRE WEATHER (TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...WILL MAINTAIN ELEVATED
FIRE WEATHER CONCERN THROUGH THURSDAY. WAS CONSIDERING A FIRE
WEATHER WATCH AGAIN BUT THAT WOULD BE BASED ON PERSISTENT WIND
GUSTS A0A 25 MPH AND DO NOT WANT TO JUMP THE GUN ON THAT SINCE
STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY WHETHER GUSTS WILL REMAIN WHEN RH VALUES
DECREASE TO CRITICAL LEVELS THURSDAY.

LONG TERM (THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)...BY THURSDAY
NIGHT...A FULL DAY OF STRONG COLD ADVECTION SHOULD ALLOW TEMPS TO
DECREASE OVERNIGHT TO NEAR FREEZING. SOME MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWS TEMPS
DECREASING EVEN FURTHER...BUT CONCERNED ABOUT THE CLOUD COVER
EXPECTED TO REMAIN OVER THE AREA.  IF SKIES WERE TO CLEAR WOULD BE
CONFIDENT IN TEMPS BELOW FREEZING FOR MANY AREAS...BUT SOUNDING
WOULD INDICATE A GOOD COVER OF MID TO HIGH CLOUDS. SOMETHING TO KEEP
AN EYE ON. BEYOND THURSDAY UPPER LEVEL PATTERN BECOMES ZONAL OVER
TEXAS...WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF ACTIVITY OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS. SURFACE RIDGE SHIFTS ACROSS THE AREA AND THEN ELONGATES OVER S
TX AND THE GULF OF MEXICO. A PIECE OF ENERGY AT 500MB DOES APPROACH
THE AREA SATURDAY...BUT WITH NO MOISTURE RETURN YET...WILL NOT
EXPECT ANYTHING OUT OF IT. WINDS EVENTUALLY TURN TO THE SOUTHEAST
INCREASING MOISTURE. HAVE KEPT 20 POPS OVER THE AREA FROM SUNDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON AS MOISTURE INCREASES AND A FRONT
APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL NORTH OF
THE AREA...AND POSSIBLY PUSH THROUGH BY WEDNESDAY.
