Area forecast discussion, Jun 5, 4:06 PM CDT, 42 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 406 PM CDT Mon Jun 5 2017 .SHORT TERM (Tonight through Tuesday night)... Main weather concern will be the potential for strong to severe convection the remainder of the afternoon and early evening. Afternoon water vapor imagery data shows upper low spinning to our north and northeast. This has resulted in an active northwest flow across South Texas the last couple of days. Daytime heating has yielded MLCAPE values between 2000 and 3000 with little to no CIN. Also, there is a pocket of effective bulk shear of 40 to 45 knots over the southern Coastal Bend. This has supported some storm organization and an isolated severe weather threat. Large hail and damaging winds will be the primary hazards with these storms. Additional isolated activity will move southward into the northern parts of the area as the afternoon progresses, with a strong to marginally severe threat. Hi-res models generally weaken convection between 00z and 03z with the loss of daytime heating. Moisture does not scour out on Tuesday with PWs around 1.5 to 1.6 inches across eastern parts of the area. Again, daytime heating may trigger some isolated convection as upper trough finally pushes eastward. Low pops were retained over the Coastal Bend into the Victoria Crossroads with only a slight chance of pops in the afternoon. Drier air finally builds into the region Tuesday night as trough axis moves into the Deep South. No rain expected Tuesday night. && .LONG TERM (Wednesday through Monday)... Offshore flow will persist during the mid week in wake of the frontal boundary. As upper level riding builds into the region drier conditions will develop, with no mentionable rain chances through the end of the work week. Despite shortwaves moving down across the region late in the week, moisture will remain too limited across the region for convection to develop. Onshore flow will gradually return to the region Thursday night into Friday as surface high pressure shifts east of the region. Moisture will gradually increase over the weekend into early next week as the next upper level trough digs into the Rockies, and isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible across the Coastal Bend and nearshore waters early next week. Temperatures will be near normal for the time of year, with lows in the 70s and highs in the low to mid 90s, warming into the upper 90s late in the period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
