NWS Corpus Christi, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 7, 2:19 PM CST, 3 hours 1 minute earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CORPUS CHRISTI TX 319 PM CDT THU JUN 7 2012 .SHORT TERM...AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM DECAYING MCS OVER CENTRAL TEXAS IS CURRENTLY NOTED ALONG THE NORTHERN BORDER OF THE FORECAST AREA. SEA BREEZE FRONT IS MOVING INLAND...CURRENTLY FROM AROUND PORT LAVACA TO KINGSVILLE. THE COMBINATION OF THE OUTFLOW AND SEA BREEZE IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPING A FEW SHOWERS IN VICTORIA COUNTY AND NORTHEASTWARD. EXPECT TO SEE ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT AS THESE BOUNDARIES MEET FARTHER SOUTH AND WEST THIS AFTERNOON. WITH MU CAPE VALUES IN EXCESS OF 1500 J/KG OVER ALL BUT WEBB COUNTY...AND OVER 2000 J/KG IN THE NORTHEAST IT WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR A FEW STORMS TO BECOME SEVERE WITH STRONG WINDS AND HAIL BEING THE MAIN THREAT. THE UPPER LOW RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONVECTION OVER CENTRAL TEXAS THIS MORNING WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH SOUTH AND EAST OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THIS LOW PROGRESSES...AS NAM AND GFS BOTH BREAK OFF A PIECE OF THE LOW AND DIVE IT SOUTH ALONG THE TEXAS COAST TO NEAR BROWNSVILLE AND OFFSHORE. IT WOULD THEN COMBINE WITH A WEAKER UPPER LOW CURRENTLY ANALYZED EAST OF BROWNSVILLE AND LIFT BACK TO TO THE NORTH-NORTHEAST...THIS COULD LINGER PRECIP CHANCES OFFSHORE A BIT LONGER. TEMPERATURES TONIGHT AND TOMORROW WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON CLOUD COVER AND THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. A FEW MESO MODELS INDICATE THE POTENTIAL FOR AN MCS TO DIVE SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT...HOWEVER THESE MODELS ARE IN THE MINORITY AND THINKING WE SHOULD SEE THINGS REMAIN ISOLATED TO SCATTERED TONIGHT INTO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. IF CLOUDS LINGER TOMORROW EXPECTED EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA TO BE A FEW DEGREES COOLER THAN WE HAVE BEEN IN RECENT DAYS. && .LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...SATURDAY BEGINS WITH THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS STRETCHING FROM LOUISIANA SOUTHWEST INTO THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO. MOST OF THE CWA WILL BE ON THE SUBSIDENT SIDE OF THIS AXIS. HOWEVER THE MARINE AREAS AND FAR NORTHEAST CWA COULD SEE ISOLATED CONVECTION SATURDAY CLOSER TO WEAK PVA. UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ACROSS MEXICO BUILDS EASTWARD INTO SOUTH TEXAS SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...LEADING TO DRY CONDITIONS AND HOT TEMPS. HIGH TEMPS INLAND THESE DAYS WILL REACH WELL INTO THE TRIPLE DIGITS. WILL HAVE TO WATCH HEAT INDEX VALUES CLOSELY AS WIDESPREAD 105-109 VALUES ARE EXPECTED INLAND. ON MONDAY MANY INLAND LOCATIONS MAY BE REACHING HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA...AT OR EXCEEDING 110 FOR HEAT INDICES. A WEAKNESS IN THE NORTHERN STREAM WEAKENS THE RIDGE SLIGHTLY ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...RESULTING IN SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS BUT STILL WARM TO HOT. RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK...BUT WILL INCREASE AGAIN MIDWEEK. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
