Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED

1243 AM CDT SUN AUG 21 2016

.DISCUSSION...

Updated for 06z aviation.

&&

.AVIATION...

Showers and isolated thunderstorms continue across much of South
Texas. The LRD/ALI/VCT taf sites will be most likely impacted over
the next several hours and have VC remarks with tempo TSRA at
those sites. Convection may take a little while longer to reach
CRP. Reduced vsbys and cigs may occur with any storm that directly
impacts the taf site. Renewed convection will be possible during
the day on Sunday as deep moisture remains in place. Winds through
through the period will generally be out of the southeast and east
with variable winds in and around thunderstorms.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /Issued 923 PM CDT SAT AUG 20 2016/

DISCUSSION...Satellite imagery showed a more progressive
mesoscale convective vortex that has moved to east of College
Station while a southwest extension of the vorticity maximum
has been the focus for convective development this evening.
Activity is also focused along outflow boundary from earlier
convection today. CIRA layered precipitable water image shows
precipitable water values from 2.3 to 2.5 inches from Laredo
extending northeast to just north of Victoria. MSAS depicts
strongest low level convergence in this region. Also watching
convection west of Laredo associated with another short wave
trough over Coahuila. The threat for locally heavy rainfall and
potential flash flooding has shifted farther south and will
include all but the coastal counties in an updated Flash Flood
Watch. 00Z models continue to show difluent flow aloft over
this region through Sunday. Will update amount of rainfall
expected to 3 to 5 with possibility of isolated 8 inches
especially over the Brush Country.
