AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CORPUS CHRISTI TX
1027 AM CDT TUE JUN 19 2007
.UPDATE...MID-LEVEL POSITIVELY TILTED SHEAR AXIS ORIENTED FROM
GALVESTON BAY TO LAREDO IS PRODUCING AN AC DECK ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAINS INTO THE NORTHERN COASTAL BEND. 12Z KCRP
SOUNDING DEPICTS MOIST ATMOSPHERE (PWAT 2 INCHES) AND A 30KT
LLJ. NOT REAL CONFIDENT MUCH MOMENTUM FROM LLJ WILL MIX TO THE
SURFACE GIVEN THE INSOLATION INHIBITION. IN ADDITION...THINK SHEAR
AXIS WILL DISTURB GRADIENT FLOW THIS AFTERNOON. AS A RESULT...LET
SCA EXPIRE AND WILL ONLY CARRY SCEC CONDITIONS OVER THE GULF 20 TO
60 NM OFFSHORE DUE TO 5-6 FT SEAS. AS FAR AS POPS ARE CONCERNED...
12C 700MB TEMPS ARE TOO WARM FOR ANY CONVECTION TO BECOME ROOTED
IN THE LOW-LEVELS. HOWEVER...AMPLE MOISTURE AND WEAK MID/UPR
SUPPORT WARRANT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS OVER THE EASTERN CWA AND CHANCE
POPS OVER THE NE CWA WHERE THE DEEPEST MOISTURE WILL RESIDE. ONLY
UPDATE TO THE ZFP WAS TO INCREASE TEMPS OVER THE EASTERN RIO
GRANDE PLAINS WHERE CU FIELD HAS NOT DEVELOPED AND THERE IS LITTLE
TO NO STANDING WATER LEFT OVER FROM THE WEEKEND. CURRENT FORECAST
IS OTHERWISE ON TRACK.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 354 AM CDT TUE JUN 19 2007/
SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...PWATS AT OR ABOVE 2 INCHES
OVERSPREAD THE REGION THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS SOUTHERLY LOWER
TROPOSPHERIC WINDS DEEPEN THEN EVENTUALLY BACK TO THE EAST. WRF/NAM
IS AN OUTLIER(AND SEEMS SUSPICIOUS) AS COMPARED TO THE GFS/UKMET/NGM
IN SHOWING A MID-LEVEL TROUGH ACROSS THE AREA. HOWEVER...THE
GFS/UKMET/NGM DO SOMEWHAT AGREE WITH THE WRF/NAM IN INDICATING
SWATHS OF POSITIVE OMEGA AND SOME DIFFERENTIAL VORTICITY ADVECTION.
A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE/VORTICITY MAXIMUM APPEARS TO BE SOUTHWEST OF
DEEP SOUTH TEXAS EARLY THIS MORNING AND WILL AFFECT THE AREA TODAY.
700HPA TEMPERATURES ARE STILL WELL ABOVE +10C AND 1000-850HPA
Q-VECTOR DIVERGENCE STILL DOMINATES. WILL MAINTAIN SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS WITH MARGINAL LOW-END CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE NORTHEAST...BUT
INCLUDE THE MENTION OF WEATHER OVER THE WEST IN LIGHT OF BROWNSVILLE
RADAR IMAGERY. WILL SHOW SLIGHT CHANCE POPS TONIGHT TRANSITIONING TO
30%-40% POPS WEDNESDAY AS 1000-850HPA Q-VECTOR DIVERGENCE WEAKENS
AND 700HPA TEMPERATURES FALL BELOW +10C. SUSPECT THE MODELS ARE
LOWERING DEWPOINT TEMPERATURES TOO MUCH GIVEN THE MOIST GROUND AND
NO APPRECIABLE CHANGE IN THE AIRMASS. NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WERE
MADE TO THE PREVIOUS TEMPERATURE GRIDS.
AVIATION...AREAS OF MVFR CIGS UNTIL 14Z WILL TRANSITION TO VFR CIGS
AND CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING. MVFR CIGS WILL RE-DEVELOP AFTER 06Z
TONIGHT. MOSTLY ISOLATED CONVECTION THROUGH TONIGHT WILL NOT
SERIOUSLY IMPACT CIGS/VSBYS.
MARINE...SCEC/LOW-END SCA CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY
THIS EVENING IN RESPONSE TO A SUFFICIENTLY STRONG LOW-LEVEL JET AND
PRESSURE GRADIENT. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION IS EXPECTED
THROUGH THE PERIOD.
LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)...A DRYING TREND IS
EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS THE SUBTROPICAL RDG AXIS EXPANDS
NORTH AND SOUTH ACROSS THE SRN AND CENTRAL PLAINS. PWS ARE
EXPECTED TO LOWER TO AROUND ONE INCH OR EVEN SLIGHTLY LOWER FROM
FRI THROUGH SUN. THERE IS STILL UNCERTAINTY ON THE DEVELOPMENT AND
EVENTUAL TRACK OF A MID/UPR LOW ACROSS THE GULF. SOME OF THE
MOISTURE FROM THIS SYSTEM MAY AFFECT THE ERN AREAS BY MON. FOR NOW
WL ONLY GO WITH SLIGHT CHC POPS FOR MON. WL SHOW A SLIGHT WARMING
TREND FOR THE FRI-SUN TIMEFRAME.
