The local office's own words before this wind advisory 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 wind advisory went out at Feb 25, 11:52 AM CST, 4 hours 16 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 25, 11:52 AM CST, 4 hours 16 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CORPUS CHRISTI TX
1152 AM CST MON FEB 25 2013
.DISCUSSION...NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE GRIDS BUT DID INCREASE
DAYTIME TEMPS A FEW DEGREES. WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN PLACE AS
WELL AS THE RED FLAG WARNINGS AND GALE WARNINGS WITH STRONG WINDS
DEVELOPING ACROSS ALL OF SOUTH TEXAS. WINDS ARE ON THE HIGH END OF
THE WIND ADVISORY...WITH CONCERNS OF BRIEFLY HITTING HIGH WIND
WARNING. HOWEVER...AM THINKING THAT THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE
OCCURRING NOW...AND REMAIN STEADY THROUGH THE REST OF THE
AFTERNOON. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR TRENDS.
&&
.AVIATION...MAIN CONCERNS DEAL WITH WIND THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.
A STRONG WEATHER SYSTEM OVER THE PANHANDLE IS CONTRIBUTING TO THE
STRONG TO VERY STRONG WINDS OVER SOUTH TEXAS. EXPECTING W-NW WINDS
SUSTAINED 25-35 KNOTS WITH GUSTS OF 35-45 KNOTS THROUGH MUCH OF
THE AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING. WINDS WILL BE SLOW TO
DIMINISH...WITH EVENING WINDS STILL GUSTING NEAR 25 KNOTS.
DECOUPLING LATE TONIGHT WILL HAVE WINDS DROPPING TO 12-15 KNOTS
AROUND 04Z-06Z FOR THE TAF SITES...THEN BELOW 10 KTS BEYOND 06Z.
THE WINDS ARE ALSO KICKING UP DUST...ALLOWING FOR VISIBILITIES TO
DROP...AVERAGING 6 MILE VISIBILITIES ACROSS THE WESTERN
SITES...WITH BRIEF MVFR VISIBILITIES POSSIBLE.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 514 AM CST MON FEB 25 2013/
DISCUSSION...SEE AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW FOR THE 12Z TAF'S.
AVIATION...A STRONG COLD FRONT CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH S TX IS
EXPECTED TO REACH THE COASTLINE BETWEEN 12-14Z. THE BDRY WILL
IMPROVE VSBY AND CIGS TO VFR LEVELS...HOWEVER WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE
NW AND SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE WITH GUSTS UP TO 40KT...POSSIBLY
HIGHER IN SOME LOCATIONS. VERY STRONG WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON BEFORE DECREASING THIS EVENING. VFR CONDITIONS AND
WEAKENING WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED TONIGHT INTO TUE.
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 456 AM CST MON FEB 25 2013/
SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...AREAS OF FOG PERSISTS ACROSS
THE CWA THIS MORNING...HOWEVER VSBY'S HAVE IMPROVED SOMEWHAT OVER
THE LAND DUE TO WINDS VEERING MORE TO THE S. AM EXPECTING THE FOG TO
DISSIPATE ONCE A STRONG COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH THE CWA LATER THIS
MORNING. THE STRONG COLD FRONT IS BEGINNING TO PUSH INTO THE NW CWA
AND IS EXPECTED TO REACH THE COASTLINE AROUND 12-13Z. A VERY STRONG
NW WIND AND DRIER CONDITIONS WILL FILTER INTO S TX IN THE WAKE OF
THE COLD FRONT. DID NOT GO QUITE AS STRONG WITH WIND SPEEDS AS THE
GFS MOS GUIDANCE SUGGESTED (35-45KT SUSTAINED)...BUT DID GO HIGHER
THAN NAM MOS. THIS PUTS THE ENTIRE CWA IN A HIGH END WIND ADVISORY.
GUSTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE 40-45MPH...WITH A FEW GUSTS AS HIGH AS
50MPH POSSIBLE. MUCH DRIER CONDITIONS COMBINED WITH THE VERY STRONG
WINDS WILL ALSO RESULT IN ALL OF S TX IN AN EXTREME FIRE DANGER
THREAT.
AS FOR PRECIP...THE MOISTURE IS LIMITED ACROSS THE CWA ALONG WITH A
STRONG CAPPING INVERSION. LIMITED MOISTURE BENEATH THE CAP MAY BE
SUFFICIENT FOR A WEAK LINE OF -SHRAS TO DVLP ALONG THE FRONTAL BDRY
LATER THIS MORNING...MAINLY ACROSS THE NE CWA WHERE THE MOISTURE IS
DEEPER WITH A WEAKER CAP. ONCE THE FRONT PUSHES THROUGH...SKIES ARE
EXPECTED TO CLR FROM W TO E THRU THE AFTERNOON. KEPT MX TEMPS COOLER
THAN WHAT GUIDANCE PROGD DUE TO THE STRONG CAA. THE CAVEAT WILL BE
THE DOWNGLIDING NW WIND AND DRY SUNNY CONDITIONS AND WHETHER THAT
WILL WARM TEMPS MORE THAN ANTICIPATED. WINDS DECREASE TONIGHT BUT
REMAIN ELEVATED ENOUGH TO KEEP TEMPS FROM BOTTOMING OUT...BUT WILL
STILL BE A CHILLY NIGHT WITH TEMPS IN THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S.
TUE IS EXPECTED TO BE SUNNY WITH LIGHT WINDS AND MILD TEMPS.
MARINE...A STRONG COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH ACROSS THE COASTAL
WATERS LATER THIS MORNING RESULTING IN VERY STRONG NW WINDS
DEVELOPING IN ITS WAKE. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN TO GALE
FORCE WITH GUSTS TO 40-45KTS. A GALE WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR TODAY
AND THIS EVENING. SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO QUICKLY BUILD TO NEAR 12FT
ACROSS THE OFFSHORE WATERS. WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO SUBSIDE
OVERNIGHT INTO TUE.
FIRE WEATHER...VERY STRONG NW WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DVLP TODAY IN
AS A COLD FRONT PUSHES THRU THE AREA. MUCH DRIER CONDITIONS BEHIND
THE FRONT WILL COMBINE WITH THE VERY STRONG WINDS LEADING TO AN
EXTREME FIRE DANGER THREAT ACROSS ALL OF S TX TODAY. A RED FLAGE
WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR TODAY.
LONG TERM (TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)...AN UPPER DISTURBANCE...
CURRENTLY ENTERING THE NW CONUS...EXPECTED TO MOVE ACRS THE
PLAINS/MIDWEST (GFS/ECMWF DETERMINISTIC) AND RESULT IN A WEAK COLD
FRONT ACRS THE CWA/MSA BY LATE WED. NO SIGNIFICANT PCPN EXPECTED
ALONG THE FRONT OWING TO LIMITED MSTR. THEN A TRANSITION TO A HIGH
AMPLITUDE PATTERN (RIDGE NEAR THE WEST COAST AND TROUGH EAST)
SUFFICIENT TO GENERATE A SURGE OF MSLP OVER THE CWA/MSA FRIDAY/SAT.
THUS PREDOMINATE NORTH SFC WIND EXPECTED OVER MUCH OF THE PERIOD.
DRY CONDITIONS ALSO EXPECTED (GFS PWAT VALUES). AT LEAST SCEC
CONDITIONS EXPECTED OVER THE COASTAL WATERS LATE WED/EARLY THU AND
AGAIN LATE FRIDAY/SAT. COLD FRONT/MSLP SURGES WILL CONTRIBUTE TO
COOL NIGHTTIME TEMPS WITH READINGS PREDOMINATELY IN THE 40S.
