AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CORPUS CHRISTI TX
444 PM CDT MON MAY 29 2006
.UPDATE...LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAINFALL CONTINUES TO
MOVE S TO SW AND IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE NRN COASTAL BEND AND
VCT CROSS ROADS. THEREFORE...HAVE ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR
BEE...LIVE OAK...GOLIAD AND VICTORIA WHERE THE GROUND REMAINS
SATURATED FROM YESTERDAYS RAIN.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 329 PM CDT MON MAY 29 2006)
SHORT-TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)...UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENCE
CONTINUES ACROSS THE REGION. MID LEVEL TROF IS SLOWLY RETROGRADING
TO THE W ACROSS DEEP S TX...WHICH WILL DEEPEN THE EASTERLY FLOW
ACROSS THE REGION. SCT CONVECTION ALONG AN OUTFLOW BDRY N OF VCT IS
MOVG S AND EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE VCT CROSSROADS THROUGH 5 PM BUT
SHOULD SLOW ITS SWD PROGRESSION. CONVECTION IS FIRING ALONG THE
SIERRA MADRE BUT IS NOT EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE W CWA TONIGHT. SCT
CONVECTION IN BROS AREA IS MOVG N AND IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE
COASTAL BEND OVR NIGHT. THE AIRMASS IS UNSTABLE WITH LITTLE
CAP...HOWEVER WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING THIS EVENING...TSRAS
ARE EXPECTED TO DECREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE AND INTENSITY. WENT WITH
30-40 POPS ACROSS THE E CWA FOR THIS EVENING...THEN SHIFT THE POPS
TO OFFSHORE AFTER MIDNIGHT AS HIGHER MOISTURE/2 INCH PWATS MOVE TOWARD
THE COAST. THE GFS AND NAM BOTH INDICATE TROFG AND DIFFLUENCE
ALOFT WITH THE GFS BEING MORE AGRESSIVE THAN THE NAM...DUE TO
CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK ISSUES. BECAUSE OF THIS THE GFS IS ALSO
INDICATING A SFC LOW DVLPG ALONG THE COAST AND 8 INCH BULLS EYE
PRECIP JUST OFF THE COAST THAT MOVES INLAND THROUGH TUESDAY.
BELIEVE THIS IS WAY OVR DONE...HOWEVER DO BELIEVE THERE WILL BE
PRECIP THROUGH THE SHORT TERM AND HAVE INCREASED POPS THROUGH TUE
WITH 50 POPS FOR THE NE CWA. ALL GUIDANCE HAS LOWERED TUE MAX
TEMPS INTO MID 80S TO LOW 90S WITH THE INCREASED PRECIP/CLOUDS.
WENT AROUND 5 DEGREES HIGHER THAN GUIDANCE AS CLOUDS/PRECIP WILL
KEEP TEMPS DOWN SOMEWHAT.
MARINE...AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL PRODUCE SCT TSRAS OVER
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. A WEAK TO MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW WILL PREVAIL
THROUGH THE SHORT TERM...HOWEVER WIND AND SEAS WILL BE HIGHER NEAR
STORMS.
AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE EVENING THEN
MVFR CIGS OVR NIGHT THROUGH TUE...WITH OCCASIONAL IFR CONDITIONS
DURING TSRAS...MAINLY EAST OF A LINE FROM HEBBRONVILLE TO THREE RIVERS.
THE TSRAS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE OVR NIGHT THROUGH TUES AS GULF
MOISTURE INCREASES AND COMBINES WITH AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE.
LONG-TERM (WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...MODELS IN COMPLETE DISARRAY
IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD. GFS SPINS UP A MINI TROPICAL
STORM...COMPLETE WITH 50KT 8H INFLOW AND 15 INCH QPFS...AND THIS
CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK CONTAMINATES WIND...TEMPERATURE...AND CLOUD MASS
FIELDS FOR MOST OF THE EXTENDED.
HAVE OPTED FOR A BLEND OF NAM AND CLIMATOLOGY SOLUTIONS.
PRECIPITATION DOES LOOK A FAIR BET AS A COASTAL LOW/INVERTED TROF
AIDS CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. WITH LITTLE CAP AND LOTS OF
MOISTURE...CONVECTION IS A GOOD BET. POPS FOR THESE DAYS REPRESENT
ANTICIPATED COVERAGE MORE THAN CHANCE OF EVENT OCCURRENCE.
ATMOSPHERE WILL GRADUALLY DRY OUT AS AN UPPER RIDGE DEVELOPS WEST OF
HERE AND GRADUALLY BUILDS INTO SOUTH TEXAS. MODEL CONSENSUS IS TO
MAINTAIN A BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTHERN OR CENTRAL TEXAS. WILL KEEP
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS AND LIGHTER WINDS IN THE GRIDS DUE TO THE
PROXIMITY OF THIS BOUNDARY. AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS IN LATE IN THE
WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK...PRECIPITATION CHANCES DIMINISH AND
TEMPERATURES BUILD ONCE AGAIN...PARTICULARLY OUT WEST.

The Corpus Christi radar (KCRP), 124 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 23:02 UTC.
3 flash flood, 1 high wind. Local standard time, as filed.
Red River Road became impassible from Laurent to Nimitz and Ben Wilson from Red River to Airline. N. Laurent Street at the railroad overpass also became impassible with high water.
Several vehicles became stalled in various flooded intersections around town.
Heavy rain associated with a squall line resulted in Market Street in Rockport being flooded, along with many roads in the downtown Rockport area, South Rockport and along Omohundro Street. Rising water entered some shops in the downtown Rockport area.
A wake low formed in the early morning hours across the Coastal Bend, well behind a squall line that had pushed into the Gulf of Mexico. A wind gust to 61 mph was recorded at the Matagorda RAWS station and 55 mph at the Rockport ASOS site. The high winds, caused by the wake low, resulted in damage throughout the city of Rockport. Several business signs were damaged. A gas station canopy was blown over. Several roofs on area homes were also damaged. Downed power lines were reported throughout the county.
