AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CORPUS CHRISTI TX 256 PM CDT FRI JUL 25 2014 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)...ONGOING CONVECTION SHOULD DISSIPATE LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. CLOUD COVER WILL ALSO DISSIPATE THIS EVENING WITH MAINLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED OVERNIGHT. BY LATE TONIGHT AN UNSEASONABLY MODERATE TO STRONG SRLY LLJ IS PROG TO DEVELOP OVER WESTERN HALF OF CWA. THIS MAY AID IN A BRIEF PERIOD OF LLVL CLOUD DEVELOPMENT AROUND SUNRISE. A DECREASE IN DEEP LAYER MOISTURE ON SATURDAY AND AN INCREASE IN H9 TO H7 LAYER TEMPS SHOULD RESULT IN A DRIER DAY ACROSS THE REGION WITH LITTLE TO NO DIURNAL CONVECTION. COMBINATION OF HOT MAX TEMPS AND HIGH SURFACE DEWPOINTS MAY ALLOW SOME LOCATIONS TO APPROACH HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA...WITH MOST AREAS HAVING AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING HEAT INDICES OF 105 TO 109 DEGREES. WIND SPEEDS SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING WILL LIKELY BE THE BREEZIEST OF THIS WEEK AS STRONG THERMAL GRADIENT SETS UP FROM EAST TO WEST ACROSS THE CWA.

THUS MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE PCPN ASSCTD WITH THIS FEATURE SHOULD REMAIN NORTH AND NORTHEAST OF THE CWA ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER BY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY A MORE POTENT FRONT AND S/WV WL BE AFFECTING THE CWA. THIS WL BE IN RESPONSE TO THE FULL LATITUDE TROUGH AXIS ACROSS THE EASTERN UNITED STATES DEEPENING AS IT DROPS FURTHER SWD. INCREASING DEEP LAYER FORCING AND PWATS ABV 2 INCHES IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS SLOW-MOVING FRONT WL BE SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE CONVECTION FOR THURSDAY BUT MORE SO ON FRIDAY. DRY SUBSIDENT CONDITIONS THROUGH MIDWEEK WL MAINTAIN SLIGHTLY ABV NORMAL TEMPS. OVERALL THE SFC DEWPOINTS SHOULD TEND TO MIX OUT AND KEEP HEAT INDICES BELOW HEAT ADVY CRITERIA. WENT ACTUALLY SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL FOR TEMPS BY FRIDAY GIVEN THE INCREASED CLOUD CVR AND RAIN CHANCES. && .MARINE...BREEZIER CONDITIONS FOR SOUTHERN BAYS AND NEARSHORE WATERS THIS EVENING THAN PAST SEVERAL EVENING.
