AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CORPUS CHRISTI TX 257 PM CDT WED AUG 10 2005 .SHORT-TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)...UPPER LOW OVER BBEND REGION SLOWLY RETROGRADING WSW WHICH SHOULD SHIFT PRECIP CHANCES A BIT FURTHER SOUTH AND WEST FOR TONIGHT. BASED ON CURRENT TRENDS... ETA/NAM MODEL HAS A BETTER HANDLE ON THE CONVECTION OUT TO THE WEST. WILL GO WITH CHANCE POPS OUT TO THE WEST (HIGHEST IN LASALLE) AND DECREASE THEM RAPIDLY FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST. REASONING FOR THIS IS BECAUSE DRIER AIR IS TRYING TO MOVE INTO EASTERN AREAS BASED ON KBRO OBS...MODEL DATA AND GOES SOUNDER. PRECIP MAY CONTINUE INTO PORTIONS OF THE NIGHT. DID NOT WANT TO GET TOO CUTE WITH PRECIP CHANCES AFTER 06Z SO BASICALLY KEPT THE SAME KIND OF POPS. CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN TOO DRY OUT TO THE NORTHWEST AND STORMS CONTINUE TO MOVE. COULD NOT RULE OUT ISOLATED HEAVY RAINFALL BUT DO NOT EXPECT WIDESPREAD FLOODING SO NO FFA. RAIN CHANCES WILL BE LESS ON THURSDAY OUT WEST AND NIL ON THURSDAY AS DRIER AIR MOVES IN AND UPPER LOW PROGGED TO MOVE BACK TO THE NORTH. HAVE ONLY MENTIONED PRECIP OUT TO THE WEST ON THURSDAY AND THURSDAY EVENING. MOISTURE REMAINS LIMITED FOR CONVECTION THURSDAY NIGHT AND HAVE KEPT THINGS DRY. UPPER CIRCULATION IN GULFMEX SEEN ON H20 IMAGERY APPEARS TO REMAIN ON WRONG SIDE OF CIRCULATION TO MENTION POPS FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AT THIS TIME FOR OUR EASTERN COUNTIES AND GULFMEX. WINDS WILL HELP KEEP TEMPERATURES UP SOMEWHAT AGAIN TONIGHT BUT A BIT LESS MOISTURE SHOULD HAVE THEM A BIT LOWER. ERGO...IN MOST LOCATIONS... WENT ABOUT A DEGREE LOWER ON TEMPS...THEN SIMILAR FORECAST FOR THURSDAY NIGHT. EXCEPT FOR OUT TO THE WEST...PERSISTENCE ON HIGHS FOR THURSDAY AND ON LOW SIDE OF MOS OUT TO THE WEST. && .LONG-TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED ON FRIDAY ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS AS PWAT VALUES REMAIN AROUND 1.5 INCHES. CANNOT RULE OUT A STRAY SHOWER OR TWO ON THE SEA-BREEZE BUT WILL NOT MENTION IN THE ZONES AT THIS TIME. MOISTURE IS PROGGED TO INCREASE OVER THE WEEKEND AS PLUME OF TROPICAL MOISTURE LOCATED IN THE WESTERN CARIBBEAN IS PULLED AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE OVER THE NE GULF OF MEXICO. CAP SHOULD BE MINIMAL DURING THIS PERIOD...ALTHOUGH WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR WARMING MID-LEVELS WITH H85-H7 LAYER WINDS VEERING TO SOUTHWEST. WILL RAISE POPS FOR SUNDAY/MONDAY TO CHANCE ACROSS THE INLAND PORTIONS OF COASTAL PLAINS AND INTO THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FAR WESTERN COUNTIES). WITH HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT AND STORM MOTIONS AROUND 10 KNOTS...THE POSSIBILITY OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE AN ISSUE. WILL NUDGE TEMPS DOWN SLIGHTLY SUNDAY/MONDAY FROM THAT OF THE PREVIOUS FEW DAYS AS INCREASED MOISTURE AND CLOUD COVER WILL INHIBIT WARMING SLIGHTLY. BY TUESDAY...GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE BUILDING BACK TO THE WEST A BIT...WHICH WILL INCREASE SUBSIDENCE ACROSS THE AREA. WITH THAT IN MIND...WILL TRIM POPS ON TUESDAY BACK TO SLIGHT CHANCE FOR JUST THE INLAND AREAS OF THE CWFA. && .MARINE...WILL GO WITH SCA AREA-WIDE TONIGHT AS 850 MB HEIGHT GRADIENT/LLJ LOOKS REASONABLE FOR SCA CONDITIONS...BUT WILL BE BORDERLINE OVER THE NORTHERN BAYS. EXPECT BORDERLINE SCA CONDITIONS FOR THE SOUTHERN WATERS THURSDAY NIGHT. LITTLE IF ANY CONVECTION EXPECTED WITH THE DRIER AIR MOVING IN. WINDS SHOULD REACH LOW-END SCA FOR THE SOUTHERN BAY WATERS THROUGH SATURDAY...AND MAY EVEN ON SUNDAY AS SUFFICIENT PRESSURE GRADIENT PERSISTS. WILL INCLUDE THE GULF WATERS AND NORTHERN BAYS IN SCEC CONDITIONS DURING THE EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS THROUGH THIS TIME AS WELL. && .AVIATION...FOR NOW PUT VCTS IN LRD TAFS FOR THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT OTHERWISE NO CONVECTION MENTIONED. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR OUT THERE TO SEE IF TEMPO WILL BE NEEDED. KEPT THE MVFR FOR KALI FOR TONIGHT BUT LATER SHIFT CAN RE-EVALUATE SINCE AM CONCERNED THAT DRIER AIR MAY PRECLUDE CATEGORICAL MVFR (MAY BE TEMPO AT BEST). DID NOT FEEL CONFIDENT ENOUGH AT THIS TIME TO MENTION WIND SHEAR IN TAFS MAINLY FOR KALI AND KCRP. OTHERWISE...NO PROBLEMS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMP/POPS CORPUS CHRISTI 078 097 078 096 078 / 05 05 05 05 05 VICTORIA 076 097 077 097 074 / 10 05 05 10 05 LAREDO 081 101 081 103 080 / 30 10 10 05 10 ALICE 077 100 077 100 076 / 10 05 05 10 05 ROCKPORT 082 094 082 094 080 / 05 05 05 10 10 COTULLA 076 099 076 101 076 / 40 20 20 05 10 && .CRP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
