What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning 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 river flood warning went out at May 18, 1:04 PM CDT, 21 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 18, 1:04 PM CDT, 21 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX
104 PM CDT Tue May 18 2021

.UPDATE...

18Z aviation discussion is included below.

In the wake of last night's MCS, a widespread cold pool was
keeping the area more stable than originally expected. PoPs today
were reduced for this factor, yet we still expect some
destabilization for at least isolated to scattered convection,
particularly over the Brush Country where CIN is slowly
diminishing. Severe convection is less likely today due to weaker
forcing and slightly more hostile thermodynamics aloft. Looking
farther ahead, it appears storm chances tonight may need to be
trimmed back until the strongest forcing arrives Wednesday morning
and afternoon with an upper trough still to our west, but will
inspect this further for this afternoon's package. No other
updates at this time.

.AVIATION...

MVFR ceilings are on track to continue expanding over the
terminals this afternoon and lingering through Wednesday morning.
Few SHRA and some TS are possible this afternoon generally from
COT to ALI, but the greatest window for TS is focusing from Wed
morning through the afternoon as an upper disturbance lifts across
the region accompanied by a large line of storms, possibly severe.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 447 AM CDT Tue May 18 2021/

SHORT TERM (Today through Wednesday)...

Rain, rain, rain. That's the story of the short term. Luckily, for
today, it looks like there is only a slight chance of showers and
thunderstorms for most of the area, though those in the northern
portions of South Texas will have a chance of convection through
this evening. The good news is that PWATs are expected to be
around 1.5 inches through today which should keep rainfall rates
lower than we have seen in the previous days. The bad news is that
we remain in a Marginal risk for severe weather.

An upper level trough will squeeze over South Texas between two
areas of high pressure late Tuesday night into Wednesday allowing
moisture creep up on Tuesday night. A deep moisture axis will
develop over the Coastal Plains and the Victoria Crossroads, with
PWATs around 2.0 inches Wednesday. A mid-level closed low will
open up and move to the northeast, sending energy south into the
area. With this expected, have kept PoPs at 80-90% across most of
the area. WPC has placed us in a Moderate for Excessive Rainfall.
Heavy rain can be expected across the area, with the heaviest
rainfall coincident with the moisture axis. This means:
if the moisture axis sets up further west, expect the forecast
areas of heavy rain to shift. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect
through 18Z Thursday for all counties in the warning area.
Rainfall totals through Thursday are expected to be 3 to 8 inches,
with the highest amounts expected across the Coastal Plains and
Victoria Crossroads. There is also the potential for some strong
to severe weather as we remain in a Marginal risk for Wednesday.

Some good news? The threat for Coastal Flooding appears to have
waned, with tidal levels expected to be a bit lower. Also,
temperatures will be a little cooler under thick cloud cover, so
at least we won't be sweltering.

LONG TERM (Wednesday Night through Monday)...

Scattered to at times numerous showers and thunderstorms will
continue through the end of the work week and into the weekend due
to a series of upper disturbances.

Models are in fair agreement with a long wave trough draped across
TX Thursday becoming cut off over Deep S TX by Fri. This upper low
is progged to meander south of the area through the weekend
providing support for additional showers and thunderstorms. Models
at times develop weak surface trough across the CWA, which will
provide a focus for heavier rain. Am confident there will be
convection through the weekend, but much less confident on timing
and location of heavier rainfall. Rain chances and location will be
dependent on timing of embedded upper level short waves and
placement/timing of surface trough. For now kept close to the
blended models which show higher pops across the east and northeast
CWA where deeper moisture is progged to be located.

Due to mostly cloudy and at times wet conditions, temps will
generally remain below normal through the weekend into early next
week.

MARINE...

Moderate winds onshore flow will continue this morning, before
strengthening to moderate to strong flow this afternoon. A Small
Craft Advisory is in effect for this afternoon through Wednesday
evening. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are
possible today and Wednesday, with periods of heavy rainfall that
could reduce visibility. A few storms may be strong to severe.
Moderate to occasionally strong onshore flow will lead to periods of
advisory conditions through the week and into the weekend. Scattered
to at times numerous showers and thunderstorms will be possible
through the weekend.
