NWS Corpus Christi, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at May 29, 6:09 AM CDT, 2 hours 26 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 29, 6:09 AM CDT, 2 hours 26 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX
609 AM CDT Mon May 29 2017

.DISCUSSION...12z Aviation Discussion is below synoptic
discussion.

Have cancelled the Flash Flood Watch as heavy rain has shifted
east off the coast. Light rain over the watch area continues to
diminish in areal coverage and additional intense rainfall is not
anticipated. Thus...the Flash Flood Watch was cancelled.

&&

.AVIATION...Back edge of large precip shield should be east of
KCRP/KALI by start of TAF period...and east of KVCT by mid mrng.
KLRD to remain dry this mrng. Only iso to perhaps sct SHRA/TSRA
possible this aftn across the region...but areal coverage xpctd
to be too sparse to mention in TAFs. Generally VFR CIGs today
with brief periods of MVFR CIGs possible. Better chances of MVFR
CIGs occrng by late in the TAF period. Weak ESErly sfc winds...vrb
at times.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /Issued 429 AM CDT Mon May 29 2017/

SHORT TERM (Today though Tonight)...

An intense MCS /and prolific lightning producer/ has pushed off
the Middle/Lower TX Coast as of writing with post event light to
moderate rain occurring in its wake. The nocturnal MCS has worked
over the atmosphere pretty good and this should limit much in the
way of convective development today. Ongoing light/moderate rain
should continue to gradually dissipate through the rest of the
night.

A weak quasi-stationary boundary is currently draped along the
northern edge of the CWA this morning...and is prog to drift NW
through the day. With the boundary remaining north of the
area...and moisture depth remaining high...an isolated to perhaps
scattering of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon cannot be
ruled out...but coverage should generally by limited today.

Lack of any significant forcing aloft...and boundary remaining NW
of the CWA...should limit much /if any/ precip development
tonight.

Max temps today are very tricky and current fcst values may be too
low if some clearing occurs during the day.

Note: Flash Flood Watch may be cancelled early once steadier rains
dissipate further.

LONG TERM (Tuesday through Sunday)...

The potential for unsettled weather may continue into the
extended part of the forecast. Moisture decreases slightly on
Tuesday but daytime heating may be enough to generate isolated to
scattered convection. By Wednesday, a shortwave trough will move
out of Mexico and then into the Southern Plains by Thursday.
Moisture improves further on Wednesday with PW values climbing
around 1.8 to 1.9 inches. Chances for showers and storms will
increase again Wednesday into Thursday and will keep 50 to 60 pops
in the forecast for now. Occasional disturbances embedded in
westerly flow aloft will move across the state through the
weekend. Diurnally driven convection will persist Friday through
Sunday and slight to low end end chance pops seem reasonable at
this time. Chances for showers and storms could also be aided by
another frontal boundary late in the period, but there is plenty
of time to sort out those details.
