What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Corpus Christi, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Jan 15, 11:55 AM CST, 3 hours 4 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 15, 11:55 AM CST, 3 hours 4 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX
1155 AM CST Mon Jan 15 2018
.DISCUSSION...
Temperatures warmer than anticipated, so did an update. Overall
forecast looks fine but may have to adjust the timing of the
wintry precip to begin more in the morning over the northern areas
and in the afternoon over the southeast. This is based on model
soundings (NAM12 cooler than GFS and like the former sounding
better), as well as Hi Res models. Those updates will be made for
the afternoon package, as doing collaboration/DSS and looking at
new model data suggests doing one good update in the afternoon for
office consistency.
Updates likely to include: starting WSW about 3 hours earlier,
with the wintry grids about the same. Will likely issue a Wind
Advisory and Wind Chill Advisory for Tuesday (maybe Wind Chill
Warning will look to see if happens) and Gale Warning (all
locations). Obviously a Freeze Warning needed too, but with that
one will not get too cute with the timing and just start that all
areas except immediate coast by evening. Looks like the potential
for wintry mix will end no later than 06Z Wed northern areas and
perhaps as early as 09Z SE areas. Will worry about that later.
See .AVIATION discussion for 18Z TAFs.
&&
.AVIATION...
Will base the forecast of winds on the blend of the NAM12-GFS and
RAP13 models. That brings the front through KVCT about 09Z and
remainder of the terminals 10Z-12Z time frame. Showers with front
and behind it with over-running pattern (will not be continuous
rain but for a good part of the time). At this time, only put
wintry mix (FZRAPL) in KVCT. Winds over 20 knots with sustained
over 30 knots with conditions going from VFR today to MVFR
overnight then IFR with the fropa a few hours after fropa.
&&
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /Issued 615 AM CST Mon Jan 15 2018/
DISCUSSION...
Updated for 12z aviation.
AVIATION...
Broken to overcast deck between 5-6 kft exists across much of the
area this morning. At VCT where there is less cloud cover, patchy
br has developed and vsbys have bounced around between 4 and 5
miles. Some lower ceilings in the MVFR range could impact LRD
later this morning and early afternoon. Light and variable winds
this morning will become more southerly and southeasterly today
with some gusts between 18 and 20 knots at ALI/CRP. Low clouds
should then develop this evening across all of the area with
ceilings lowering into the MVFR range. Rain chances will increase
as well in advance of cold front and have accounted for this
potential for VCSH and -RA remarks. Front will be arriving towards
the very tail end of the forecast with northerly winds increasing.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /Issued 457 AM CST Mon Jan 15 2018/
SHORT TERM (Today through Tuesday)...
.WINTRY WEATHER EXPECTED ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS BEGINNING TUESDAY
AFTERNOON PERSISTING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...
Main forecast issues will be the strong arctic cold front which
will move through the area late tonight into Tuesday morning.
For today though, southerly to southeasterly winds will be common
across South Texas. This will bring an increase in moisture and
clouds to the area. There may be a few showers across the northern
Coastal Bend and Victoria Crossroads, but most locations will
likely remain dry.
Big changes occur tonight with the arrival of a strong arctic
cold front. Models are in pretty good agreement bringing the front
through the area overnight into Tuesday morning. Boundary should
be just north of or entering the forecast area around 9z and in
the vicinity of the coast around 12z, and offshore by 15z. In
advance of and along the front, some showers will be possible
across the South Texas overnight into early Tuesday morning.
As colder air rushes into the South Texas on Tuesday, rain will
transition to a wintry mix during the afternoon. Model forecast
soundings support a mix of freezing rain and sleet. A winter
weather advisory was issued and will begin at 15z Tuesday. The
late afternoon and evening commute on Tuesday may be impacted as
roads may become slick by this point.
In addition to the wintry precip, wind chills will likely fall
below 25 and will need to consider a wind chill advisory as early
as 12z Tuesday.
MARINE...
Very strong northerly winds will develop behind a strong arctic
cold front. These winds will increase to 25 to 30 knots over the
Middle Texas Coastal Waters with gusts to gale force at times on
Tuesday. Area bays and waterways will be rough to occasionally
very rough. Seas will build to 7 to 9 feet over the nearshore
waters and 9 to 11 feet over the offshore waters. A gale watch
remains in effect Tuesday. A small craft advisory will likely be
needed once the gale conditions diminish.
LONG TERM (Tuesday Night through Sunday)...
By Tuesday night pretty much all of South Texas should be below
freezing, thus will expect frozen precipitation area wide by this
point. Warm layer of air between 800 and 900 mb should melt any
frozen precip entering the layer...depth of the surface sub-freezing
layer will then determine freezing rain v sleet. Currently expect
the primary precip type to be freezing rain with a relatively
shallow cold layer near the surface. This is a slightly quicker
timing than previous model runs as each new run has steadily come in
a little quicker/deeper with the cold air than previous runs. Expect
whatever precip does occur by Tuesday night to be light isentropic
driven precip with no real mid/upper level support. Some ice
accumulation will be possible...but should remain under a tenth of
an inch. Regardless...any ice accumulation will certainly lead to
travel issues across the area. Models are also a little quicker
pushing the precip out and should be almost entirely out of South
Texas by sunrise Wednesday morning...though impacts from the
freezing rain will linger through mid morning as temperatures area
wide remain below freezing. Winter Weather Advisory currently in
effect through 12Z Wednesday morning, though will likely be able to
trim western counties early as precip ends.
An upper level disturbance will move across the area by Wednesday
night and forecast soundings would indicate precip will still likely
be of the freezing type for much of the area. Over coastal counties
profile warms just enough to make rain more likely...especially
after midnight. Light ice accumulations will be possible, mainly
west. By the daytime on Wednesday profiles have warmed sufficiently
to lead to all rain across the area.
Very cold temperatures are expected Tuesday night, some of the
coldest we have seen this winter. Have gone with mainly mid to upper
20s for lows...though some guidance suggests even colder
temperatures than this, so may end up trending a little cooler with
later forecast packages. A freeze warning and wind chill advisory
will likely be necessary. Will have a cold day Wednesday with highs
only in the 30s.
Rain chances continue Thursday with the upper level disturbance, but
taper off by Friday. A more southerly flow will return by late
Friday and Saturday with warmer temperatures expected. Another cold
front will then be possible by late in the weekend or early next
week.
