...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 445 AM CDT FOR JIM
WELLS AND DUVAL COUNTIES...

AT 333 AM CDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR CONTINUED TO 
INDICATE MAINLY LIGHT TO MODERATE RAINFALL OVER DUVAL AND JIM WELLS 
COUNTIES. SINCE IT IS NIGHTTIME...IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOME FLOODING 
IS OCCURRING OVER EASTERN PORTIONS OF DUVAL COUNTY WHERE DOPPLER 
RADAR ESTIMATES OF 3 TO 6 INCHES HAVE BEEN SEEN ALONG TEXAS HIGHWAY 
339. AN ADDITIONAL 1/2 INCH OF RAIN IS POSSIBLE THROUGH 6 AM OVER 
MOST PORTIONS OF EASTERN DUVAL COUNTY. ALTHOUGH RAINFALL HAS NOT 
BEEN AS HIGH OVER JIM WELLS COUNTY...SOME MINOR FLOODING MAY BE 
OCCURRING. 
LOCATIONS IN THE WARNING INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO ALFRED...BEN
BOLT...CONCEPCION...CRUZ CALLE...LA GLORIA AND MIDWAY. SOME   
CREEKS THAT WILL EXPERIENCE FLOODING INCLUDE...PIEDRAS PINTAS 
CREEK...AGUA DULCE CREEK. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF FLOODING. IF FLASH FLOODING IS OBSERVED ACT QUICKLY. MOVE
UP TO HIGHER GROUND TO ESCAPE FLOOD WATERS. DO NOT STAY IN AREAS
SUBJECT TO FLOODING WHEN WATER BEGINS RISING.

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

.DISCUSSION...SEE 06Z AVIATION DISCUSSION.

.AVIATION...AREA OF RAIN MOVING TOWARD THE EASTERN TERMINALS AS OF
THIS WRITING. AM KEEPING THE NOTION OF LIFR CIGS AND IFR/LIFR
VSBYS WITH THE MODERATE RAIN. COULD NOT RULE OUT SOME THUNDER
(ALTHOUGH AM NOT SEEING TOO MUCH LIGHTNING STRIKES AT THIS
TIME)...BUT WITH POTENT JET WILL MENTION A TEMPO TSRA IN THE
EASTERN TERMINALS. FARTHER WEST AT KLRD...AM EXPECTING CIGS TO GO
BACK TO LIFR ONCE THE RAIN ENDS WITH THE LIGHT WINDS. AS UPPER
TROUGH BEGINS TO PASS...CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE FROM WEST TO EAST
WITH VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED AT KLRD AOA 21Z BUT GENERALLY
BECOMING MVFR (OR NEAR MVFR AND REMAINING SO) FOR THE EASTERN
TERMINALS. IFR CONDTIONS RETURN AFTER 19/00Z. RAIN WILL END FROM
WEST TO EAST AS WELL...CHECK TERMINALS FOR DETAILS ALTHOUGH
PRECISION ON RAIN ENDING IN TERMINALS WITH IMPROVING CIGS WILL NOT
NECESSARILY BE AT THE SAME TIME GIVEN THAT FORECASTS ARE GETTING
ON THE LONG SIDE AS IT IS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 709 PM CDT TUE MAR 17 2015/

DISCUSSION...SEE 06Z TAF DISCUSSION BELOW.

AVIATION...MVFR CIGS/VSBYS WILL DROP TO IFR LATER THIS EVENING
WITH SHOWERS BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE SOUTH TEXAS REGION.
COULD BE A FEW ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS AS COOLER AIR MOVES IN ALOFT
AND ENERGY FROM UPR JET COMES ACROSS. ADVECTION FOG ALONG THE
COAST WILL SPREAD INLAND ACROSS VCT TERMINAL LATER TONIGHT WITH
LIFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE. LIFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED EVERYWHERE LATE
TONIGHT THROUGH AROUND 15Z WED AM. PRECIPITATION WILL END EARLY
WED AM WITH CIGS/VSBYS IMPROVING TO MVFR ALL AREAS BY NOON.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 559 PM CDT TUE MAR 17 2015/

DISCUSSION...SEE MARINE SECTION.

MARINE...HAVE ISSUED DENSE FOG ADVISORY FOR MARINE AREAS. 66-70
DEGREE DEWPOINT AIR OVER WATER TEMPS MAINLY IN THE LOWER TO MID
60S HAS LED TO FOG REDEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON. FROM WEBCAMS
AVAILABLE TO US FOG MAINLY APPEARS JUST OFF THE COAST...BUT WILL
MOVE INTO THE BAYS THROUGH THE EVENING. LIGHT RAIN MOVING IN
PRESENTS A CHALLENGE OF WHETHER IT WILL IMPROVE VISIBILITIES OR
NOT...THINKING THE RAIN IS LIGHT ENOUGH THAT IT WILL NOT IMPROVE
THINGS SIGNIFICANTLY...THUS WILL HOLD ONTO THE ADVY THROUGH THE
MORNING.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 422 PM CDT TUE MAR 17 2015/

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)...MID/UPPER LOW
OVER NORTHERN MEXICO WILL CONTINUE LIFTING NORTHEAST
TONIGHT...LIFTING AWAY FROM SOUTH TEXAS THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY.
CURRENTLY THIN BAND OF SHOWERS HAS BEEN VERY SLOWLY PUSHING EAST
ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. THIS BAND WILL BE SLOW TO
ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING. HI-RES MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW
REDEVELOPMENT OF MORE ACTIVITY BEHIND THIS FIRST BAND FORMING
TONIGHT AND ADDITIONAL CONVECTION CAN ALREADY BE SEEN FORMING ON
VIS SATELLITE OVER NORTHERN MEXICO. AS THE UPPER LOW LIFTS MORE
TO THE NORTHEAST AN UPPER JET STREAK ON THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE
LOW MOVES FAVORABLY INTO THE REGION...AND THIS WILL AID IN SUPPORT
OF CONVECTION DEVELOPING. ALTHOUGH MAJORITY OF THE ACTIVITY WILL
BE SHOWERS...DID INCLUDE MENTION OF TSTMS OVERNIGHT UNDER A MORE
DIVERGENT UPPER PATTERN AND WHERE MUCAPES ARE SLIGHTLY MORE
FAVORABLE. UNDER ANY TSTMS THAT DEVELOP OR TRAINING
CONVECTION...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT.
EXPECT RAINFALL TO GRADUALLY END FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH
WEDNESDAY AS MID/UPPER LVL RIDGING BEGINS BUILDING IN OVER THE
AREA. EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS ALL OF THE REGION BY WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. WRT TEMPS...KEPT FAIRLY CLOSE TO MODEL CONSENSUS...WITH
LOWS STAYING IN THE LOW TO MID 60S. HIGHS TOMORROW WILL BE
SLIGHTLY WARMER...ESPECIALLY OUT WEST WHERE DRYING AND A BIT MORE
CLEARING WILL OCCUR MORE QUICKLY.

LONG TERM (THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...REGION WILL BE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF A SHORT WAVE RIDGE ON THURSDAY. EXPECT WARM AND DRY
CONDITIONS FOR THE AREA WITH THE SLIM THREAT OF WEAK LOW LEVEL
WARM AIR ADVECTION KEEPING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE VCT
AREA. SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL BRING IN HIGHER BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE
THURSDAY NIGHT AND EXPECT AREAS OF FOG TO DEVELOP OVER NEARSHORE
WATERS AND MOVE INLAND OVER THE COASTAL PLAINS THRU FRIDAY MORNING.
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE PUSHING SOUTH THROUGH THE HILL COUNTRY
ON FRIDAY AS ANOTHER MID LEVEL LOW MOVES INTO SOUTHERN BAJA
CALIFORNIA. SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY FRIDAY AS LEAD SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVES INTO THE HILL
COUNTRY...WITH THE UPPER LOW WEAKENING TO A SHORT WAVE TROUGH
AS IT LIFTS OUT ACROSS CENTRAL TEXAS SATURDAY NIGHT. BEST CHANCES
FOR RAINFALL WILL BE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AS THE BOUNDARY
MOVES THROUGH THE AREA PROVIDING A FOCUS FOR DEVELOPMENT AS WELL
AS AN ACTIVE DOWNSTREAM 110 KNOT 25H JET LIFTING NORTH WITH SOUTH
TEXAS IN THE FAVORABLE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF THE JET. MODELS
CONTINUE TO DEPICT HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT WILL BE AVAILABLE OVER THE
REGION WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES UP TO 1.9 INCHES FRIDAY NIGHT
AND SATURDAY. WILL GO WITH CATEGORICAL/LIKELY POPS FRIDAY NIGHT FOR
BRUSH COUNTRY/COASTAL PLAINS RESPECTIVELY WITH CATEGORICAL POPS
OVER THE COASTAL PLAINS SATURDAY. RAIN CHANCES WILL DIMINISH ON
SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE SYSTEM LIFTS NORTHEAST. ECMWF/CMC MODELS
ARE SHOWING ANOTHER SHORT WAVE TROUGH DIVING SOUTHEAST OUT OF
THE CENTRAL ROCKIES SUNDAY AND INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS BY
TUESDAY MORNING WHILE THE GFS IS WEAKER AND MORE PROGRESSIVE.
WEAK LOW LEVEL WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE COULD
PROVIDE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN OVER THE NORTHERN COASTAL BEND
INTO THE VICTORIA CROSSROADS. AFTER THIS SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVES
BY TUESDAY A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA.
