What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this coastal flood 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 coastal flood advisory went out at May 21, 12:27 AM CDT, 2 hours 36 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 21, 12:27 AM CDT, 2 hours 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 1227 AM CDT Fri May 21 2021 .AVIATION... VFR conditions across S TX tonight are expected to drop to MVFR levels through 08Z-10Z across the eastern portions of S TX and later Friday morning 10Z-13Z across the Rio Grande Plains. As for the potential for fog, most guidance shows VSBYs dropping to MVFR levels toward early morning Friday, mainly from ALI to VCT. However, due to saturated soil, increasing dewpoints and drier air aloft, IFR VSBYs will be possible. One caveat will be clouds developing/moving across S TX which would hinder fog development, thus confidence is low. Have gone with a TEMPO IFR VSBY for ALI where confidence is highest, but kept MVFR VSBYs over VCT and CRP TAF sites for now. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 637 PM CDT Thu May 20 2021/ AVIATION... VFR through the evening, but with increasing moisture at the lower levels, will expect MVFR CIGs to develop through the night, first starting at ALI/CRP/VCT shortly after 06Z, then toward COT/LRD after 10Z. BR will also be possible, mainly for inland locations from ALI/VCT where previous rains have fallen. Improvements to VFR are then expected between 15-18Z. Light and variable winds overnight will become E-SE through FRI at 5-10 KTs. Some convection will be possible toward VCT by the afternoon, so have added at least VCSH by 17Z. PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 400 PM CDT Thu May 20 2021/ SHORT TERM (Today through Friday)... What a difference a day makes as some much needed drying was had over all of the region. One wouldn't expect this to be the case with an upper trough so close by, but fortunately our region is on the west/subsidence side of this feature. Even with dewpoints creeping up to around 70 degrees near the coast, PWATs remain stunted at just 1.1 inches thanks to a dearth of moisture above this shallow layer. So other than some very patchy fog developing late tonight, quiet conditions continue. By Friday morning, models are in good agreement that an upper low should close off over the western Gulf in the base of our trough. This low looks to retrograde very slowly throughout the day and in turn deliver slightly higher PWATs (1.2" to 1.4") to the Victoria Crossroads and Coastal Plains. With capping being not as substantial tomorrow and the low inching closer, feel 20-30% PoPs are on track for these areas with the best chances farthest northeast. Storm motions are fortunately progged to be swift enough to the NW to limit heavy rain in any one spot, but any localized training could lead to small swaths of heavier rain and more flooding. Highs were kept a bit lower than NBM mainly near the coast where clouds will be more common. Lastly, minor coastal flooding is shown by the P-ETSS to be more marginal during high tide on Friday than in recent days, yet with swell periods holding around eight seconds this may still tip the scales in favor of another Coastal Flood Advisory in later forecasts. LONG TERM (Friday Night through Wednesday)... A mid-level over the western Gulf of Mexico will shift north- northwest over Deep South Texas and the adjacent coast by Saturday morning. This low will meander over the same aforementioned area through Sunday before progressing northeast as a shortwave due to a strong closed low at 250mb moving northeastward into Montana. The biggest concern at this time is the limited moisture... PWAT values are expected to remain below 1.5" (near normal) through much of South Texas with the exception of the Victoria Crossroads. Reduced PoPs over the western half while focusing the greater PoPs over the Victoria Crossroads region where moisture is greatest. It's worth noting that the WPC has the Victoria Crossroads in a MARGINAL risk for excessive rainfall in their 12Z Excessive Rainfall Outlook. The persistent onshore flow at the surface and at 850mb will steadily increase moisture heading into Sunday when PWATs near 1.75". Expect rain coverage to increase Sunday with scattered showers and thunderstorms; greatest threat will remain over the eastern half of the CWA. The NAM is the wetter solution with the mid- level low centering over the CWA instead of diving southward. A surface coastal trough and mid-level shortwave on Monday will increase lift support while building PWATs of 1.75" to 2.0" to induce isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms. Again, the greatest coverage will be over the Victoria Crossroads. Keeping isolated showers and thunderstorms Tuesday as remnants from a series of mid-level shortwaves pass nearby with moisture remaining over 1.75". Model discrepancies become apparent beginning Tuesday heading into the midweek in regards to the progression of a potential trough disturbance aloft. The GFS is fast with a shortwave trough developing and passing through Texas by Wednesday, whereas the ECMWF and CMC maintain southwest flow ridging, never developing a disturbance. With the aforementioned uncertainty, kept slight chances over the eastern half on Wednesday. Through the period, CAPE is not impressive, typically less than 1000 J/kg. But with little to no cap, can't rule out thunderstorms accompanying showers. Temperatures are expected to remain relatively consistent with highs between 80-92 east to west Saturday through Monday, then gradually warming heading into the midweek. Lows will remain in the low to mid 70s. P-ETSS guidance indicates minor coastal flooding remaining possible during high tide through Monday as water levels approach or exceed 2.0 ft MSL. MARINE... Weak onshore flow continues this evening through Friday, before increasing to moderate at times by Friday night. Some showers and thunderstorms should return to the open and coastal waters on Friday with the best chances favoring the northern waters. Weak to moderate onshore flow will strengthen to moderate Saturday afternoon and persist heading into the midweek. Small Craft Advisory conditions may develop Saturday night through Monday morning for the offshore waters due to wave heights exceeding 6 feet. Small Craft Exercise Caution conditions will be in place through Monday night, then off and on during the midweek. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible Saturday through Sunday associated with a mid level low pressure system. Isolated showers and thunderstorms will remain possible Sunday night and Monday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
