Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX
813 AM CST Tue Jan 22 2019

.DISCUSSION...

The 12Z CRP sounding showed up to 50kt above 1000ft. However this
wind will have a hard time mixing to the surface due to weak lapse
rates at 0-3kft. Still expecting some mixing, therefore bumped
winds up along the coastal counties and included gusts to 35 mph
for mainly late morning into early afternoon. Have also gone with
a Marine Weather Statement to address occasional gusts to 35kt
this morning. Winds are expected to decrease somewhat by mid
afternoon.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 539 AM CST Tue Jan 22 2019/

DISCUSSION...

Updated for 12Z aviation discussion.

AVIATION...

VFR conditions continue this morning across all of South Texas.
Still think we should see some brief MVFR cigs mid to late morning
as moisture continues to increase. A very strong LLJ overhead is
also leading to LLWS at most airports. Morning sounding recorded
49kt at 2kft and 51kt at 3600ft. This LLJ will lead to gusty
conditions at the surface developing mid to morning as these
winds begin to mix to the surface. Gusty conditions will persist
through much of the afternoon with mainly VFR conditions...except
for MVFR cigs at VCT. VCT may also see a few showers during the
day. Other terminals will have rain chances develop later this
evening and persist through the night as a strong cold front moves
through. MVFR cigs will be expected for most sites again. Strong
northerly winds will develop behind the front with cigs lifting.

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 401 AM CST Tue Jan 22 2019/

SHORT TERM (Today through Wednesday)...

Plenty of activity to talk about in the short term period today.
We'll start with strong southerly flow expected today, especially
along the coast. a 40-45kt llj is currently drifting eastward
across South Texas. By mid-morning expect this wind to be mixing
down...and will likely still be over coastal counties. Holding off
on a wind advisory at this point due mainly to the short duration
of the strongest winds expected. Will likely see wind gusts above
30 mph between about 9 and 11 am with some gusts around 40 mph
possible. By mid-day, the llj will shift east of the area and
should bring down gusts a bit.

Once this llj moves out, we'll turn our attention to a cold front
that is currently just moving into Texas from the northwest. With
a continued moist flow ahead of the front expect PWAT values to
increase to between 1 and 1.5 inches ahead of the front, which is
well above normal for this time of year. Will maintain high PoPs,
especially along the coast and into the marine areas. Farther
west, chance to slight chance pops will continue. Best chance for
rain will be after about 9pm, though there is a slight chance
today and this evening northeast. Expect mainly shower activity
with limited CAPE, however can't rule out an isolated
thunderstorm if the front can provide enough lift. Front will move
through South Texas after midnight, and should be to the coast by
around 3am. Upper level trough associated with this front is a
bit slower to move through, with rain chances lingering behind the
front. All of South Texas should be dry with clear or clearing
skies by mid-day.

Behind the front, expect windy conditions to develop. Wind speeds
will likely approach wind advisory criteria again on the islands
and coastal counties Wednesday morning. Conditions will improve by
the afternoon. Strong CAA will keep temperatures in the 50s for
highs Wednesday.

LONG TERM (Wednesday Night through Tuesday)...

The extended period remains pretty active with a series of cold
fronts expected to move through the region. Rain chances will
continue to diminish Wednesday evening as drier air filters into the
region in the wake of a cold front. Clear skies and continued CAA
will result in cold night Wednesday with lows dropping into the low
30s across the northern areas to the low to mid 40s along the coast.
A widespread freeze is not expected, however a few locations will
likely reach freezing, especially in low-lying areas across the
Victoria Crossroads and Northern Brush Country.

Onshore flow will resume on Thursday, which will allow for moisture
to slowly return to the region. A weak cold front slide through
Friday, but rain chances will be limited due to the lack of
significant moisture and forcing. A slight wind shift can be
expected as winds will turn more east northeast. Deeper moisture
will return to the area on Saturday (PWATs 1-1.25"). This will lead
to increases chances for isolated to scattered showers, mainly
across the eastern CWA. It's worth noting that the Euro has been the
wettest of the models as it develops a much stronger upper level
system. The 12Z run yesterday developed a H5 low but has since cut
back on the strength with the 00Z run reverting back to an open
wave. To add to the active cycle, another front is progged to slide
through the area Tuesday, which will once again lead to increased
rain chances across South Texas.

MARINE...

Moderate to strong onshore flow this morning will subside later
this afternoon, however rough seas will continue, thus small craft
advisory has been extended into tonight for open waters. A strong
cold front will then move through the area late tonight into
Wednesday morning. Very strong offshore flow will develop behind
this front with gale force wind gusts possible in open waters.
Conditions will gradually improve Wednesday afternoon, however
a small craft advisory will likely be needed on the end of the
gale watch/warning into Wednesday night. Moderate to strong
offshore flow will continue into early Thursday morning, with SCA
conditions carrying through the night. Onshore flow will resume
Thursday evening before a dry and weak cold front moves through
Friday, which will result in a slight northeast wind shift. Winds
will veer back to the southeast Friday night allowing for moisture
to increase across the region. Isolated to scattered showers will
be possible Saturday as an upper level system slides through. In
response to the upper level system, moderate to strong northerly
winds will result in SCA conditions being met, mainly across the
offshore waters.
