Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX
1016 AM CST Fri Nov 18 2016

.DISCUSSION...

12Z CRP Sounding already around 1500 j/kg CAPE and with daytime
heating we should see readings above 2000 j/kg for the eastern 1/3
of the area. Already seeing isolated convection popping/enhancing
and this will continue through early afternoon over the east.
Convective coverage and intensity will increase later this
afternoon into early evening as a seasonally strong cold front
blasts through. Could see a couple strong/gusty storms per
expected thermodynamic profiles and SPC outlook. Current forecast
has an excellent handle on this and only minor changes will be
made.

Winds will increase and become very gusty behind the front this
evening and overnight. Gale Warning appears warranted given
strong flow and very warm SSTs. May even need a brief Wind
Advisory over the coastal counties. Will take a look at the 12Z
data and assess this afternoon.
