AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CORPUS CHRISTI TX 315 PM CDT WED JUL 27 2005 .SHORT-TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED THIS AFTN ACROSS INLAND SECTIONS OF S TX. MOIST AIRMASS HAS BEGUN POOLING ACROSS THE AREA...AND WITH TEMPS IN THE MID AND UPR 90S INLAND AND DEW POINTS IN THE LOW AND MID 70S AIRMASS HAS BECOME INCREASING UNSTABLE. SEA-BREEZE HAS STARTED TO PUSH INLAND ALONG THE COASTAL COUNTIES AND WILL CONTINUE W AND NW THRU THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTN. INCREASING CONCERN INTO THIS EVENING WILL BE ACROSS THE NRN ROW OF COUNTIES AND ESP OUT ACROSS LA SALLE AND NRN WEBB COUNTIES...WHERE LLVL FORCING WILL BE GREATEST. DEEP MOISTURE WILL BEGIN POOLING IN THIS AREA. COLD FRONT IS NOW LOCATED FROM AROUND GEORGETOWN TO JUST NORTH OF DEL RIO AND WILL CONTINUE SOUTH...MEETING UP WITH SEA-BREEZE NEAR OR JUST NORTH OF THE EWX/CRP BORDER. ANTICIPATE RWS/TSTMS TO ERUPT IN THIS CORRIDOR THIS EVENING. HAVE GONE WILL 50-60 POPS ACROSS THE NRN COUNTIES...AN THIS MAY BE A TAD LOW. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO BE A THREAT AND HAVE INCLUDED THIS MENTION IN THE GRIDS AND ZONES. WILL NOT MENTION PRECIP FOR TONIGHT ALONG THE COAST...AS AIRMASS WILL BE MUCH MORE STABLE IN THIS AREA BEHIND THE SEA-BREEZE AND LLVL FORCING WILL BE WELL TO THE NW. HARD TO TELL EXACTLY WHERE THE FRONT WILL PULL UP QUASI-STATIONARY. BUT IT IS LIKELY THAT OUTFLOW FROM THE STORMS WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA OVERNIGHT AND WILL LIKELY START THE DAY WITH A LIGHT NORTH OR NORTHEAST WIND...EVEN THROUGH ACTUAL FRONT/SFC-THETA E GRADIENT WILL BE LOCATED TO THE NORTH. TOMORROW 2+ PW WILL REMAIN POOLED ACROSS THE CWA. AIRMASS WILL DE-STABILIZE INTO THE EARLY AFTN AND SEA-BREEZE WILL PROVIDE FORCING AS WELL AS RE-ESTABLISH E TO SE FLOW. HAVE WENT WITH SCT POPS INLAND...WHICH AGAIN MAY BE SLIGHTLY ON THE LOW SIDE. STORM MOTIONS TOMORROW WILL BE AROUND 5 KTS OR LESS...SO HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE A THREAT AND AGAIN HAS BEEN MENTIONED IN THE GRIDS AND ZONES. THURSDAY EVENING REMAINING CONVECTION SHOULD FOCUS OUT WEST AND ACROSS THE NRN COUNTIES. && .MARINE....MARGINAL SCEC WINDS HAVE DEVELOPED AT BAFFIN BAY...BIRD ISLAND AND BOB HALL PIER. WILL INCLUDED SCEC HEADLINE FOR THIS EVENING ACROSS THE SRN BAYS AND NEARSHORE WATERS. HOWEVER...A FRONT WILL SAG SOUTH INTO S/CNTRL TX OVERNIGHT...WEAKENING THE PRESS GRADIENT. THEREFORE EXPECT LIGHT WINDS TOWARDS MORNING AND INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON THURSDAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT MAY SEND AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SOUTH INTO S TX AND THE NEARSHORE WATERS OF THE MIDDLE TX COAST. SO MAY START THE DAY WITH A LIGHT NORTH OR NORTHEAST WIND BEFORE TURNING BACK TO THE SOUTHEAST IN THE AFTERNOON. AT THIS TIME AM NOT ANTICIPATING THE STORMS THAT DEVELOP TO MAKE IT INTO THE MIDDLE TEXAS COASTAL WATERS. && .AVIATION....SCT RWS AND TSTMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS INLAND PORTIONS OF S TX THIS AFTN AND WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY EVE. SCT TO NUMEROUS RWS/TSTMS WILL THEN BECOME FOCUSED ALONG AND NORTH OF A LRD TO VCT LINE THIS EVE AS THE SEA-BREEZE MERGES WITH A COLD FRONT SAGGING SOUTH OUT OF S/CNTRL TX. MVFR/IFR CONDS AND GUSTY WINDS WILL OCCUR WITH THESE STORMS. && .LONG-TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...STILL UNCLEAR WHICH MODEL TO BELIEVE REGARDING POSITION OF QUASI-STATIONARY BOUNDARY AND ASSOC POOL OF MOISTURE ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS ON FRI/EARLY SAT. THE NAM AND NGM CONTINUE TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE MVG THIS BOUNDARY SOUTH THAN THE GFS AND THEREFORE SHOW MUCH HIGHER MOISTURE/POPS FOR THE COASTAL BEND/DEEP SOUTH TEXAS ON FRI. TOUGH TO BELIEVE THIS BOUNDARY WILL PUSH TOO FAR SOUTH...ESP AS THE SEA BREEZE ATTEMPTS TO PUSH IT BACK NORTH EACH AFTN...BUT WHO KNOWS ONCE TSTM OUTFLOWS GET INVOLVED. WILL LEAN TOWARD A COMPROMISE SOLN SOMEWHAT SPLITTING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GUIDANCE ON POPS FOR NOW (20-40% ON FRI AND 10-20% SAT). THE RIDGE WILL BUILD IN FRM THE NW SOME OVER THE WEEKEND WITH DRIER AIR MVG IN FROM THE N-NE. GFS HAS BEEN INCONSISTENT IN HANDLING AN UPPER TROUGH FORECAST TO AMPLIFY ALONG THE MS RIVER VALLEY OVER THE WEEKEND. MOST RECENT RUNS JUST SHOW A WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE DEVELOPING AND MVG ACROSS THE REGION BY TUE WHILE PREVIOUS RUNS SHOWED A MUCH STRONGER UPR LOW DEVELOPING AND MVG WEST INTO SWRN TEXAS. ECM IS IN AGREEMENT IN AT LEAST A WEAK UPR LOW MVG TO NEAR THE BIG BEND AREA BY TUE...SO WILL GO AHEAD AND SHOW SLT CHC POPS TUE/WED W/ AVAILABLE MOISTURE BEING THE LIMITING FACTOR FOR DIURNAL CONVECTION. MAY BE A DEGREE OR TWO ABOVE NORMAL FOR HIGHS SUN/MON THEN WILL DROP TEMPS CLOSE CLIMO AS HEIGHTS FALL LATE IN THE PERIOD. DRY AIR AND LIGHT WINDS WILL LEAD TO BELOW NORMAL LOWS EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMP/POPS CORPUS CHRISTI 074 094 074 094 074 / 05 20 10 30 20 VICTORIA 072 092 073 094 073 / 50 40 20 40 20 LAREDO 078 099 078 098 078 / 40 30 30 20 30 ALICE 073 097 073 096 073 / 10 40 20 30 20 ROCKPORT 078 093 079 093 078 / 05 20 10 30 20 COTULLA 074 095 074 097 075 / 60 30 30 30 30 && .CRP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
