NWS Corpus Christi, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 27, 7:49 PM CST, 1 hour 41 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CORPUS CHRISTI TX 849 PM CDT FRI JUL 27 2007 .UPDATE...LOWERED POPS SOME TONIGHT AS DAYTIME HEATING ENDS AND AIRMASS BEGINS TO STABILIZE SLIGHTLY. UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT MAINLY NORTH OF AREA AND SURFACE FORCING NOT PROGGED TIL AFTER MIDNIGHT. MOST OF CONVECTION DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT SHOULD RESIDE OVER THE NORTHEAST CWFA AND GULFMEX SO MAINTAINED CHANCE POPS THERE. FARTHER WEST AND INLAND...THINK SLIGHT CHANCE WILL SUFFICE FOR TONIGHT. MOST LIKELY RAINFALL OVER THE NORTHEAST AGAIN ON SATURDAY WITH WIND FIELD LIKELY TAKING CONVECTION NORTHEAST AT LEAST INITIALLY BEFORE SEA BREEZE GETS GOING. STAYED CLOSER TO THE ETA/NAM SOLUTION AS 18Z GFS BOMB PROGGED OVER THE NORTHEAST CWFA DISCOUNTED. FINALLY ADDED PATCHY FOG TO FORECAST AS WINDS REMAIN LIGHT AND SHOULD SEE SOME RADIATIONAL COOLING. TEMP FORECAST REMAINS UNCHANGED FOR NOW...AS WELL AS OTHER SENSIBLE NON-PRECIP RELATED PARAMETERS AFTER THE FIRST OR SECOND PERIOD. PRODUCTS SENT OUT A WHILE AGO. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 655 PM CDT FRI JUL 27 2007/ AVIATION...ISOLD RWS/TSTMS ALONG SEA-BREEZE FM NEAR VCT-HBV WILL WEAKEN THRU 03Z. PATCHY FOG WILL RESULT IN MVFR/IFR CONDS 10-15Z ACROSS THE AREA. SCT RWS/TSTMS MAY RE-DVLP 12-15Z ACROSS THE COASTAL BEND THEN SHIFT INLAND AFTER 18Z. MVFR AND BRIEF IFR CONDS ALONG WITH WIND GUSTS UP TO 30 KTS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THESE TROPICAL RWS/TSTMS. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 404 PM CDT FRI JUL 27 2007/ SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY WERE LIMITED IN SCOPE DUE THE WESTERLY WINDS IN THE MID LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WHICH BROUGHT IN CONSIDERABLE DRIER AIR IN THE 850-650 MB LAYER. VAD WIND PROFILE INDICATED THIS WELL WITH WESTERLY WINDS IN THE 5 TO 12 KFT LAYER. THIS WAS DUE TO MID LEVEL TROUGH SITUATED NEAR DEL RIO. NAM CAPTURED THE MOISTURE/QPF FIELD AND OFFSHORE COASTAL TROF VERY WELL AND HAVE ALIGNED WITH NAM FOR SHORT TERM FORECAST. MID LEVEL TROF IS FORECAST TO DRIFT TOWARD THE BIG BEND/WEST TEXAS REGION SATURDAY WHICH ALLOW A MORE OF AN OPEN SOUTHERLY FLOW IN THE MID LEVEL WINDS WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR A DEEPER VERTICAL MOISTURE PROFILE. THEREFORE...HAVE INCREASED CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION FOR TOMORROW WITH BETTER VERTICAL MOISTURE AND BETTER INSTABLITY FORECASTED. IT APPEARS SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...CONVECTION WILL BE MORE LIMITED IN SCOPE. UPR RIDGING IS EXPECTED TO BUILD INTO LA/AR/EAST TEXAS REGION AND NUDGE INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTHEAST WHILE LINGERING MID/UPPER LOW REMAINS OVER WEST TEXAS/CENTRAL TEXAS. DO NOT THINK SUBSIDENCE FROM THE PERIPHERY OF THE UPR RIDGE WILL BE ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE SCATTERED CONVECTION SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY GIVEN THE BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY. AS A RESULT...MAINTAINED SCATTERED POPS AREAWIDE. LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...THE DETERMINISTIC SOLNS INDICATE (AND THE GFS ENSEMBLES ADD CREDENCE TO) THE BUILDING OF AN UPPER RIDGE AS THE UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO RETROGRADE...AND MAINTAINS THE UPPER RIDGE MON-WED. THE GFS NOW DEVIATES FROM THE ECMWF WITH REGARD TO THE PSBL DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEXT UPPER SYSTEM. THE GFS/NOGAPS PROGS A WEAKNESS TO DEVELOP IN THE UPPER HEIGHTS THU/FRI...YET THE ECMWF MAINTAINS AN UPPER RIDGE OVR THE REGION AT LEAST THROUGH THU. FURTHER...THE GFS ENSEMBLES DEVIATE SIGNIFICANTLY THU WITH RESPECT TO THE 500MB HGTS. THIS SIMPLY REFLECTS UNCERTAINTY...THUS WL NOT INCREASE POPS FOR THU/FRI. WL TAKE THE PSN THAT ISOLD/SCT DIURNAL/NOCTURAL CONVECTION WL OCCUR MON-WED AS A BALANCE BETWEEN WEAK SUBSIDENCE/AMBIENT MSTR AND INSTABILITY...AND WL FCST PERSISTENCE THU-FRI OWING TO UNCERTAINTY IN THE UPPER PATTERN. THE GFS SYNOPTIC PATTERN SUGGEST DECREASING SEA HGTS/ MOMENTUM OVR THE WATERS LATER IN THE PERIOD. AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH 10Z. BEYOND 10Z IFR/LOW END MVFR RESTRICTIONS ARE POSSIBLE WITH MIST/FOG FROM ALICE TO VICTORIA WHERE PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE RESIDES...ANTECEDENT RAINFALL...A SLIGHTLY DRIER MID LEVEL...AND LIGHT WINDS. TOMORROW AFTERNOON MAIN CONCERN ARE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BRIEFLY REDUCING VSBYS AND LOWER CLOUD BASES. MARINE...A COASTAL TROF WILL MAINTAIN A WEAK TO MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW ACROSS THE OFFSHORE WATERS TONIGHT. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT TO MODERATE THROUGH THE PERIOD. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS AS A SOUTHERLY FLOW IN THE MID LEVELS BRINGS A BETTER VERTICAL MOISTURE PROFILE. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
