Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX
419 AM CDT Tue Jun 19 2018

.SHORT TERM (Today through Wednesday)...

This will be short and sweet, given the on-going heavy rainfall in
portions of the area. Overall, the potential for heavy rainfall
will continue through Wednesday, with gradual lowering of rain
chances afterwards. Based on NWS QPF rainfall average amounts
through Wednesday, have issued a FFA (did that around 1 AM this
morning) for all but the western four counties in the CWA where
given the drier conditions the soils should be able to handle. FFA
is through Wednesday afternoon, and later shifts can decide if it
will be extended in time or in areal coverage. Could once again
see some 90s along the Rio Grande today as well as Wednesday,
perhaps a bit farther east given that the rain chances may begin
to diminish later in the afternoon. Overall, did a blend of raw
guidance, Superblend and short blend guidance for temperatures
today through Wednesday, nudging them up a degree or so over a
few areas for today and tonight.

Other things going on is the potential for high rip currents
through most of tonight. Have kept the Coastal Flood Advisory
too, and based on the expected rainfall amounts near the coast
through tonight, have decided to extend it for tonight. Reasoning
is that, given the minor tidal overflow combined with the heavy
rainfall near the coast, some access roads could become flooded
and possibly some people could be isolated and cut off. In short,
not the best of days to go to the beach today and tonight. Things
will get better with time so avoid going to the beach until things
settle down.

&&

.MARINE (Today through Wednesday)...

Based on the forecast wave heights and winds, have decided to end
the SCA for the nearshore by 15Z and for the offshore at 22Z.
Scattered to widespread rain and thunderstorms, mainly today and
diminishing later in the afternoon, but likely developing again
especially near, north and east of Port Aransas tonight. Rain
should taper off by late Wednesday.

&&

.LONG TERM (Wednesday night through Monday)...

Moderate to heavy rainfall will continue into Wednesday night, with
high moisture and the upper level low/inverted trough over the
region. Confidence though has gone down a bit in the amount of
showers/storms that will occur on Thursday.  The GFS more quickly
shifts this system further south and west away from South Texas,
while the ECMWF keeps a closed low over the region and a surface
coastal trough over the region longer through Thursday morning
before also shifting to the southwest. Still anticipating rainfall
to occur on Thursday, but given discrepancies and lack of confidence
in how much moisture will still be over the region, have lowered
down to chance PoPs for the daytime on Thursday.  Rainfall will
quickly tapper off Thursday night into Friday.  Over the weekend
conditions will remain fairly dry, with only an isolated seabreeze
storm possible near the coastal areas.

More mildly warm temperatures will occur on Thursday with highs in
the mid 80s to low 90s.  As rain clears the area temperatures will
begin to warm up again, with highs back in the 90s to near 100
degrees over the weekend into early next week.
