Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX
644 AM CDT Sat Sep 15 2018

.DISCUSSION...See Aviation section for 12Z TAFs.

&&

.AVIATION...Poor aviation conditions will exist over the forecast
area for the most of the day today. Widespread showers with heavy
rain along and embedded thunderstorms will continue over the
coastal plains today as the area of low pressure near ALI slowly
moves inland. MVFR ceilings will be prevalent over the coastal
plains through the period with IFR ceilings/vsbys expected within
the showers and thunderstorms and even LIFR conditions with the
stronger showers and storms. Scattered showers on the west side of
the tropical wave will increase late this morning affecting LRD
area and continue into the afternoon as the tropical wave
continues to slide to the northwest. The Brush Country should see
convection linger into the nighttime hours as the wave drifts west
of the region. Should see a decrease in convection over the
coastal plains by this evening but MVFR ceilings still expected.
Coastal convergence will lead to scattered showers redeveloping
overnight and affecting the coastal TAF sites with MVFR
ceilings/vsbys.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /Issued 428 AM CDT Sat Sep 15 2018/

SHORT TERM (Today through Sunday)...

Copious moisture will remain over the region as the tropical wave
slowly moves inland today. Latest analysis shows the surface low
west of Alice with a strong low level convergence axis along the
coast. Strong moisture influx and large scale lift will continue
on the east side of the tropical wave as it moves to the northwest
today. Will continue Flash Flood Watch for entire area today. The
tropical wave will be exiting the western Brush Country this
evening but the region will remain in the favorable region of lift
on the east side of the tropical wave tonight. Expect another
round of convection to develop and move across the Brush Country
tonight. Models show deep moisture will remain in this area with
the precipitable water values around 2.4 inches. With this area
having seen abundant rainfall in the past week, any additional
heavy rain will lead to flash flooding. Extended the Flash Flood
Watch for the western four counties tonight. Hi-res models
indicate there will be another round of showers form in the
coastal convergence zone overnight tonight but the moisture will
not be as high as this morning. The low to mid level low will
continue to drift away from the region to the northwest on Sunday.
But adequate moisture will remain in the area for scattered
convection to develop. Kept chance PoPs over South Texas for
Sunday with higher chances out west. High temperatures will be
slightly warmer on Sunday.

MARINE (Today)...

A moderate onshore flow will continue over the coastal waters
today as the tropical wave slowly moves inland. SCEC conditions
will linger through the day over the Gulf waters as widespread
showers and scattered thunderstorms affect the marine areas. Some
of the storms could produce wind gusts to 30 knots at times.

TIDES (Today)...

Tides continue to be elevated this morning with levels running
about 1.4 to 1.5 feet above expected. Tides are around 2 feet MSL
at Bob Hall Pier at this time while Port Aransas and Port O'Connor
are around 1.8 feet MSL. High tide this morning is a broad high
tide that will linger through much of the morning before going
toward low tide. If elevated tide levels begin to show a
decreasing trend, this advisory may be allowed to expire this
afternoon or even be canceled early. High period swells continue
to impact the Middle Texas coast. This will maintain the high risk
of rip currents for gulf facing beaches today.

LONG TERM (Sunday Night through Friday)...

Sunday night through Tuesday...Concur with the ECMWF/GFS
deterministic output that an upper ridge will build over the region
while CWA PWAT values fall to below normal per GFS deterministic.
Nevertheless, will maintain isolated convection over the CWA/MSA.
Wednesday...The upper ridge is predicted to move to the SERN
CONUS (GFS/ECMWF), as an upper trough moves across the Rockies.
PWAT values are predicted to increase to approximately near normal
(GFS.) Will maintain isolated convection. Thursday/Friday...ECMWF
and GFS differ with respect to the amplitude of the disturbance
across the Rockies/Plains. The GFS has more amplitude which
contribute to a cold front approaching TX Friday. Yet, the ECMWF
is more zonal which results in a much weaker front. Nevertheless,
PWAT values are expected to continue to increase to above normal
owing to deep layer onshore flow. Thus, anticipate an increase in
the chance for convection. No marine hazards during the period
(based on WaveWatch output and expected wind.) Expect maximum Heat
Index values around 100F or less.
