COASTAL BEND FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CORPUS CHRISTI TX
950 AM CST FRI NOV 16 2001
THE MAIN FOCUS FOR HEAVY RAIN IS SHIFTING SOUTH INTO BROS CWA AND
OUT OVER OUR OFFSHORE WATERS. RADAR AND SATELLITE SHOWS A MESO-SCALE
CONVECTIVE VORTEX FORMING JUST EAST OF PORT ARANSAS WHERE BOOK-END
VORTEX AND A POSSIBLE WATERSPOUT ARE MOVING OFFSHORE. THE MAIN
DRIVING FORCE IN SHIFTING THE HEAVY RAINS TO OUR SOUTH IS A RESULT
OF LARGE SCALE PRESSURE RISES SFC-H85 LAYER AND ACCOMPANING COOL NLY
FLOW WHICH IS FORMING IN THE WAKE OF THE ABV MENTIONED MESO-SCALE
CONV VORTEX.
ALTHOUGH THE HEAVIEST RAINS HAVE ENDED OVER MOST OF THE AREA. WILL
CONTINUE WITH THE FFA BECAUSE MODERATE OVERRUNNING RAINS WILL
PERSIST TODAY AND GROUNDS ARE SATURATED AFTER WIDESPREAD 4-6 INCH
RAINFALL TOTALS AND ISOLATED 12-20 INCH AMOUNTS.
WILL UPDATE TO TWEAK TEMPS AND WINDS FOR COLD SECTOR CONDITIONS IN
THE WAKE OF THE BNDRY.
MARINE...NO MAJOR CHANGES TO MARINE. EXPECT STRONG MESO-SCALE STORM
DRIVEN WINDS TO PREVAIL FOR SEVERAL HOURS PRODUCING SCA CONDITIONS.
MARINE TRAVEL FOR SMALL CRAFT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TODAY.
