AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CORPUS CHRISTI TX
1128 AM CDT TUE JUL 4 2006
.UPDATE...LARGE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM LAST NIGHTS CONVECTION
ACROSS DEEP SOUTH TEXAS SWEPT THROUGH THE REGION THIS MORNING AND
IS LOCATED ACROSS SE TEXAS. SUBSIDENCE IN THE WAKE OF THE BOUNDARY HAS
CLEARED CONVECTION FROM THE REGION...BUT THIS WILL ONLY BE TEMPORARYRY
AS MID AND HIGH CLOUDS HAVE REALLY CLEARED ACROSS THE REGION AND
THEREFORE EXPECT TO SEE GOOD HEATING ACROSS THE AREA WITH ABUNDANT
SUNSHINE INTO THE AFTN HOURS. SO FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS WAS TO
DECREASE CLOUD COVER AND INCREASE HIGH TEMPS ACROSS THE BOARD WITH
HIGHS LIKELY REACHING THE MID 90S ACROSS MUCH OF THE RIO GRANDE
PLAINS...W/ LOWER 90S ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAINS...AND 80S CONFINED
TO COASTAL AREAS. THERE IS A WEAK SFC TROUGH ACROSS THE REGION
PROVIDING MODEST CONVERGENCE AND WITH HEATING THE SEA BREEZE
SHOULD DEVELOP...ENHANCING CONVERGENCE FURTHER. PWS DECREASE BUT
REMAIN NEAR 2 INCHES TODAY. GIVEN THIS...STILL EXPECT SCT
CONVECTION TO FORM LATER THIS AFTERNOON (MUCH LATER THAN PAST FEW
DAYS)...AND CONTINUING INTO THE EVENING. THE BEST HEATING AND
INSTABILITY WILL OCCUR ACROSS INLAND AREAS. ALSO W/ THE SEA BREEZE
AND WEAK TROUGH BEING THE MAIN TRIGGER...EXPECT BEST CONVERGENCE OCCUR
OVER AREAS JUST INLAND ACROSS THE COASTAL PLAINS AND WRN RIO GRANDE
PLAINS. SO WILL SHOW AT LEAST SCT POPS ALL AREAS W/ LIKELY POPS
AND HIGHEST QPF FOCUSING JUST INLAND ALONG AND JUST WEST OF
HIGHWAY 77. EXPECT CONVECTION AND HEAVIER RAIN TO SHIFT INLAND IN
THE EVENING. GIVEN HIGHS IN THE MID 90S...NAM AND GFS MAY BE ONTO
SOMETHING SHOWING SHOWING QPF MAXES TOWARD I-35 NEAR LRD TO COT.
WILL BUMP EVENING POPS OUT WEST SLIGHTLY AND MAY BUMP UP MORE IN
AFTN PKG IF APPEARS WARRANTED. EXPECT SCT RAINFALL TOTALS OF 1 TO
2 INCHES IN THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO FORM...AND ISOLD 3 TO 5 INCH
TOTALS POSSIBLE WHERE STORMS MERGERS AND BOUNDARY COLLISIONS OCCUR. SO
WIDESPREAD FLOODING NOT REALLY EXPECTED...BUT HARD TO ARGUE TO
DROP AN EXISTING FFA WHEN LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL REMAINS A
POSSIBILITY...ESP WHEN SOILS ARE RATHER MOIST IN MANY AREAS. WILL
RECONSIDER IN THE AFTN PACKAGE DEEPENING ON TRENDS.

.PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 407 AM CDT TUE JUL 4 2006)
SHORT-TERM (TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...MODEL SOLNS SUGGEST
SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT MAINLY ACRS THE NERN CWFA TDA. COPIOUS MSTR WL
LINGER AND CAPE VALUES WL INCREASE DRG THE DAY...WHICH WL COMBINE
WITH WEAK UPPER FORCING TO GENERATE CONVECTION OVR THE NERN CWFA
TDA. MSAS REVEALS A SFC LOW/TROUGH OVR DEEP SOUTH TX. THE GFS
APPEARS TO INITIALIZE THIS FEATURE BETTER THAN THE NAM. THE GFS
KEEPS THE CENTER OF THIS LOW SOUTH OF THE CWFA TDA...YET WITH THE
ASSOCIATED TROUGH AXIS ACRS THE CWFA. THUS...ANTICIPATE
SCT/NUMEROUS CONVECTION OVR THE ERN CWFA TDA. THE GFS PROGS
MID/UPPER Q-VECTOR DIVERGENCE ACRS THE WRN CWFA TDA...AND THUS WL
CONFINE THE HIGH POPS TO THE EXTREME EAST. GIVEN THE LOW (RELATIVE
TO THE RAINFALL POTENTIAL GIVEN THE PW VALUES) FFG VALUES OVR THE
REGION...WL ISSUE A FFA FOR THE ERN CWFA. THE ECMWF/CANADIAN
DIVERGE FROM THE UKMET/NOGAPS/ GFS/NAM WITH RESPECT TO THE PSN OF
THE UPPER LOW WED...WITH THE FORMER SOLNS MORE PROGRESSIVE. THE
GFS ENSEMBLES DIVERGE SOMEWHAT WITH RESPECT TO THE PSN OF THIS
UPPER LOW WED. NEVERTHELESS...ALL SOLNS PLACE THE WRN CWFA UNDER
THE SUBSIDENT SIDE OF THE UPPER LOW WED. THIS WOULD SUGGEST A
LESS/NIL PCPN WED. HWR...BOTH THE NAM AND GFS PROG THE INTRUSION
OF AN UPPER JET STREAK FROM MEXICO WED...WITH THE GFS DEVELOPING A
SIGNIFICANT/PERSISTENT SFC LOW OVR THE REGION IN RESPONSE. THE NAM
PROGS A BRIEF SFC LOW DEVELOPMENT EARLY WED. CONCUR WITH THE GFS
OWING TO THE CONSISTENCY IN THE LATEST TWO GFS RUNS AND
METEOROLOGICAL REASONING. WL COMPROMISE WITH ISOLD/SCT CONVECTION
OVR THE CWFA WED...WITH GREATEST POPS EAST.
MARINE...THE NAM/GFS MAINTAIN WIND SPEEDS JUST BELOW SCEC
TDA/TNGT. CONCUR WITH THIS SOLN...WITH THE CAVEAT THAT THE SFC LOW
COULD BECOME MORE INTENSE. DO NOT EXPECT SEA HEIGHTS TO EXCEED 5
FEET...CONSISTENT WITH THE WAVEWATCH SOLN.
AVIATION...EXPECT MAINLY MVFR CEILINGS OWING TO CONVECTION
TDA...ESPECIALLY EAST OF US 281.
LONG TERM...MODELS COMING INTO BIT BETTER AGREEMENT ON UPPER LOW
CURRENTLY OVER WEST TX BY MIDDLE AND LATTER PORTIONS OF THE WEEK.
UPPER LOW IS PROGGED TO MOVE INTO SE TX WEDNESDAY EVENING AND THEN
RETROGRADE GRADUALLY SWWD INTO NRN MEXICO AND WEAKEN BY SATURDAY
AS HIGH PRESSURE STARTS TO BUILD INTO THE SRN PLAINS. WILL STILL
SEE COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE THROUGH THE PERIOD AS PWAT VALUES
WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL WITH TROPICAL FETCH CONTINUING. WILL
CONTINUE WITH HIGH END POPS NE CWA AND GRADUALLY DECREASE THEM
FURTHER WEST WED NIGHT AND THU WITH LITTLE CHANGE INTO FRIDAY. BY
SATURDAY AS THE UPPER RIDGE TRIES TO BUILD IN...WILL BEGIN TO
TAPER POPS DOWN A BIT BUT WITH HIGH PWAT VALUES AND ONLY WEAK
SUBSIDENCE WILL STILL CARRY CHANCE POPS AREAWIDE. WILL CONTINUE
TREND OF DECREASING POPS SUNDAY AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK THANKS TO
UPPER HIGH BUILDING INTO N TX...BUT WE WILL HAVE EASTERLY FLOW
THROUGHOUT THE ATMOSPHERE WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO PUMP IN TROPICAL
MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA SO WILL STILL KEEP POPS IN THE FORECAST.
