Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX
354 AM CDT Fri Oct 1 2021

.DISCUSSION...UPDATED

Periods of heavy rainfall today could result in 2 to 4 inches of
rain over our already saturated soils. High rainfall rates are
also expected through the day today as convection along the coast
has had radar estimated rainfall rates of 2 to 4 inches per hour..
With coverage expected to expand through the day today, a Flash
Flood Watch has been issued through this evening for Jim Wells,
Kleberg, Nueces, and San Patricio counties.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 225 AM CDT Fri Oct 1 2021/

SHORT TERM (Today through Saturday)...

Another active day is in store across South Texas as our wet pattern
continues. A quick look at water vapor imagery reveals a low
pressure system across the Desert Southwest which will eject several
rounds of H5 energy through the region as we close out the work
week. To the south, the nose of a 50-60 knot H3 subtropical jet will
nudge into the region providing upper level support for today's
convection. Showers and storms can be seen along the coast early
this morning with coverage expected to expand throughout the day as
a moisture convergence axis strengthens. Meanwhile, a slowly moving
MCS can be seen across the Hill Country. This convective cluster
will continue to slowly drift southeastward through the morning
while producing some rather efficient rain rates. This activity will
reach our northwestern counties by sunrise or shortly after
continue its slowly movement towards the coast. Latest runs of
the HRRR and HREF hint at activity filling in across the Coastal
Plains and diurnal heating kicks in through the morning and
afternoon hours. Heavy rainfall will be the main threat with any
storms today as recent RAP soundings depict a saturated column
with low to mid RHs over 85%, long skinny CAPE, and a warm cloud
depth approaching 15kft. WPC has placed all of South Texas within
a Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall today and tonight. Rainfall
amounts look to generally range from 1-2". However, the HREF
continues to suggest locally higher amounts approaching 5". With
that said, can't rule out gusty winds and small hail with any
activity that develops. Activity will begin to wane as we lose the
favorable upper dynamics as the jet pulls north and we lose
daytime heating.

Another round of convection is expected Saturday as another H5
shortwave rotates through the region. Current thinking is that
coverage will not be as widespread compared to what is expected
today as the bulk of the upper forcing will be north of the
region. Heavy rainfall will remain possible at times as PWATs
remain above 2". A Marginal Risk of Excessive Rainfall is in place
across the Northern Coastal Plains tomorrow.

LONG TERM (Saturday Night through Thursday)...

PWAT values around 2 inches Saturday night will combine with a
couple of shortwaves to keep showers and thunderstorms in the
forecast. Some locally heavy rainfall may be possible, which could
lead to a continued risk of flash flooding across South Texas. A
cold front will approach the area Sunday night and into Monday,
providing another focus for precipitation. Models are in fairly good
agreement with the timing of the front, with the ECMWF bringing the
front to the coast just a few hours ahead of the GFS and model blend
solutions. The weak cold front is expected to reach the coast early
Monday morning, bringing a welcome end to the this soggy pattern.
Dry air will move in from the north, though high temperatures will
still remain in the 90s. A ridge will build in across South Texas
and remain in place through the end of next week. This will lead to
partly cloudy to mostly clear skies, seasonably warm daytime highs
and cooler nighttime lows.

MARINE...
Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected
across the Gulf waters today. Locally heavy rainfall and gusty
winds will be possible at times. Otherwise, weak to moderate
onshore flow will continue as we head into the weekend. Showers
and thunderstorms are expected to continue as we head through the
weekend. Northeasterly flow will develop Sunday morning as a
trough develops along the coast, then shift back to weak onshore
flow ahead of an approaching cold front Sunday afternoon. Winds
will shift to the north and become weak to moderate Monday as the
cold front pushes across the waters. Drier air will move in behind
the front ending precipitation chances.
