Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX
634 PM CDT Wed Apr 24 2019

.DISCUSSION...See Aviation section for 00Z TAFs.

&&

.AVIATION...Strong to severe thunderstorms have become linear
along the advancing frontal boundary that is along a HBV-BEA line.
Storms appear to be on pace to move through the coastal plains
by 03Z. Storms will be capable of producing gusty winds, heavy
rain leading to lowered vsbys/IFR, and possibly some hail. Post
frontal cloud cover will provide MVFR ceilings into the early
overnight period. For the Brush Country behind the front this
evening, MVFR ceilings could linger for a couple of hours in the
LRD area before clearing occurs. Elevated convection over Mexico
has shown diminishing trends but could affect LRD until 02Z.
Conditions will improve to VFR for the area by 09-10Z. Clear skies
are expected for the area Thursday.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 342 PM CDT Wed Apr 24 2019/

SHORT TERM (Tonight through Thursday Night)...

Significant cloud cover through much of the day and morning
convection to the north continues to complicate the convective
situation for South Texas tonight. Temperatures from Cotulla and
Faith Ranch north have fallen into the 60s with an outflow
boundary pushing south toward Laredo. Another outflow boundary
exists north of Eagle Pass. Many of the more recent mesoscale
models have minimal activity across the NW portion of the area
with the front pushing in around 00Z, but when the front reaches
the more unstable air toward the center of the CWA would develop a
line of convection. Have lowered PoPs in response to this west,
but will keep chance mention there. Assuming convection can fire
this evening at least by the time it moves into the central part
of the area, we do have plenty of ingredients in place for strong
to severe storms. 19Z sounding indicated steep mid level lapse
rates, fairly high 0-6km shear (models prog even better west),
nearly 2k CAPE and little to no CIN. But, will first have to get
past the rain/cloud cooled air northwest. Timing wise...thinking
west of a line from Beeville to Alice will see most of the
activity before 9PM, then the Coastal Bend and Victoria Crossroads
between 9PM and midnight...maybe a bit later right along the
coast. Primary threat remains strong winds and hail, though with
0-6km shear 60kt or above, a tornado or two can not be ruled out,
especially if we can get any discrete cells at the onset.

Once the front moves through and convection end, will hold onto
clouds through the night, but should clear pretty rapidly during
the morning Thursday. The rest of the short term forecast period
will be quiet and dry. Despite the cold front high temperatures
tomorrow will be similar or warmer Thursday than today with highs
from the lower to mid 80s east to the lower 90s west. Dpts should
decrease into the 50s west and lower 60s east to make it feel a
bit drier. Mainly clear skies are anticipated with a light to
moderate northwesterly wind through tomorrow, with winds becoming
light and variable tomorrow night.

LONG TERM (Friday through Tuesday night)...

The end of the week and early next week will be dominated by upper-
level high pressure.  At the surface, a ridge will be nearly
overhead Friday then push east Friday night into Saturday, allowing
return flow to establish over South Texas.  Still, deeper moisture
will not arrive into the region from the south until the end of the
forecast period, so the next rain chances do not appear until
Tuesday (and even then are quite low).  Dewpoint temperatures will
be fairly low through Saturday (mid 50s-low 60s), before gradually
increasing to near 70F early next week.  Temperatures will be above
normal, with maxima ranging from low/mid 80s over Virginia
Crossroads and immediate coast to low/mid 90s in the Rio Grande
Valley.  Low temperatures will primarily be in the 60s.

MARINE...

Onshore flow this afternoon will become offshore tonight as a cold
front moves through the area. Showers and thunderstorms are likely
as the front moves through, mainly after midnight. SCEC conditions
may occur Thursday for a time in open waters.  Light northeast
wind is forecast Friday as high pressure resides nearly overhead.
Return flow will establish Friday night and Saturday as the ridge
slides east toward the north-central Gulf. Moderate southeasterly
flow is expected Saturday night into early Monday, before the
pressure gradient begins to increase and some slightly stronger
winds are possible later Monday into Tuesday night. No rain is
expected through early next week.
