Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX
400 PM CDT FRI MAY 27 2016

.SHORT TERM (Tonight through Saturday night)...Prospects of
convection in the near term is the main forecast issue this
afternoon. Boundaries galore are noted on radar. The surface
trough/dryline and sea breeze are draped across the central part
of the area. Boundary collision between these two features may be
sufficient to trigger showers and storms. In addition, an outflow
boundary moving south and approaching the northern fringes of the
CWA. Convection currently just northeast of the area is attempting
to build to the SSW. This activity could impact the northeast
parts of the area...especially Goliad/Victoria/Calhoun counties...
during the afternoon and early evening hours. Given the very
strong instability (MLCAPES 3500 to 4500) south of boundary, a
severe storm threat could materialize across the northeast zones.
Damaging winds and large hail would be the primary threat.  A
locally heavy rain threat could also develop as storms train west
to east along boundary. Storms should weaken and move east of the
area later on this evening.

Upper level ridge will build northward on Saturday. However,
moisture will not completely scour it across South Texas. Daytime
heating may be sufficient enough to generate isolated showers and
thunderstorms, and will carry mainly 20 and 30 pops tomorrow, with
a sliver of 40s in the extreme NW part of Webb County. Another
very warm day is expected on Saturday with highs around 100
degrees near Laredo to around 90 in Victoria.

Moisture axis will shift westward on Saturday night as slightly
drier air moves in from the Gulf of Mexico. There will only be a
slight chance of showers and storms over the Rio Grande Plains.

The high risk of rip currents will continue through this evening
as long period swells continue. The rip current risk may need to
be extended into Saturday is long period swells are still
occurringlater this evening.

&&

.MARINE...Strong onshore flow with SCA conditions will occur over
the local bays until 10pm this evening and the Gulf Waters until
4am Saturday morning. Winds will slightly weaken on Saturday but
remain at moderate levels.

&&

.LONG TERM (Sunday through Friday)...Mid/upper lvl ridging will
continue to build over the region Sunday while an upper low develops
over southern California and sends weak impulses across the region.
Residual moisture across the region will allow for isolated to some
scattered showers and thunderstorms early in the week.  During the
mid to late week PoPs increase as upper lvl trough/low moves east
closer to the region and surface boundary moves south during the end
of the week.  Warm and humid conditions will continue over the
holiday weekend with highs in the upper 80s to mid 90s. Temperatures
drop slightly during the mid week, and further with front moving
south late in the week.
