Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX
406 PM CDT Tue May 18 2021
.SHORT TERM (Tonight through Wednesday Night)...
Following last night's destructive MCS, our radar has remained
rather tranquil so far this afternoon with only a few showers at
times. The 4 PM satellite and surface analysis showed an outflow
boundary stretching from about 40NW Cotulla northeast through San
Antonio and up to near Bastrop. Fortunately for us, the mean
steering flow has backed more southerly so any deep convection
near this boundary will likely track north and farther away from
the region. However, we can't rule out new convective outflows
reinforcing this boundary and shoving it south into portions of
our northern Brush Country by early this evening, so scattered
30-50% PoPs remain focused in this area. Although deep layer shear
marginal at 30 knots or less, ample MLCAPEs of 2500 to 3600 J/kg
could still support some severe modes at times, especially north
of our CWA where the best 850 mb moisture advection takes aim.
Tonight should not feature a repeat of last night's bow echo as
background forcing is much more muted, but this will likely change
by Wednesday morning as the base of an upper trough rotates
northeast across the Rio Grande. What modest capping remains
early Wed morning should easily be overwhelmed by the deep ascent
accompanying this wave as it impinges on PWATs of 1.8 to 2.2
inches. Add to this today's outflow boundary crawling south
through our CWA and the byproduct should be another MCS taking
shape over the Brush Country before noon, and trekking east to our
coastal counties through the afternoon. SPC's day two outlook was
upgraded to a Slight Risk across the southern half of our CWA
pending the location of the outflow boundary. Given good agreement
among the CAMs on the convective mode being a squall line, high
winds should be the predominant severe threat. Flooding potential
remains high, although mean storm motions around 25 mph could
curb the severity of this. Additionally, if another cold
pool/mesohigh sets up Wednesday evening in the wake of this MCS
then PoPs may need to be lowered overnight even more than we
currently indicate. After collaborating with WPC, QPF amounts
tomorrow night were trimmed by 1-3 inches in most areas given the
increasing potential for this stable airmass.
&&
.LONG TERM (Thursday through Tuesday)...
The long term period is dominated with a mid to upper level blocking
pattern and a trough axis draped across South Texas that will bring
additional rounds of heavy rain at times through the weekend.
Models are showing the mid-level trough over S. TX becoming
amplified and even developing a closed low which will meander around
Deep S. TX/South into MX over this weekend. There's also some
indication of a surface trough across the area around the same time.
However, models differ with development and timing of these
features. Regardless the potential remains for heavy rainfall and
flooding with the extra support provided by energy associated with
the low and the surface trough. PWAT's start out in the long term
below normal then increase through Friday to near normal levels. A
flash flood watch remains in effect until Thursday. Additional
rainfall amounts from these storm along with already saturated soils
could lead to additional flash flooding and river flooding.
Afternoon highs will remain mostly in the 80s for most of the CWA
and overnight lows will be in the 70s with a slight warming trend at
the end of the period. The current pattern will eventually move on
and we start to dry out early next week as PoP's drop off and
will decrease.
&&
.MARINE...
Moderate to strong onshore flow will develop this evening and
continue through Wednesday night. A Small Craft Advisory is in
effect through Wednesday night. Isolated to scattered showers
and thunderstorms are possible this evening, before increasing to
scattered to numerous Wednesday afternoon and evening. Locally
high seas and strong wind gusts are possible with any of these
storms through Wednesday night. Southeasterly flow will increase
to moderate on Thursday and persist through the weekend. The
elevated flow and seas will result in Small Craft Should Exercise
Caution conditions from Thursday through early Friday. Flow will
become weak to moderate Monday. Additional rounds of scattered to
numerous showers and thunderstorms will be through Sunday
afternoon.
