The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Corpus Christi, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 7, 12:10 PM CST, 1 hour 20 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 110 PM CDT Fri Sep 7 2018 .DISCUSSION... See .AVIATION discussion for 18Z TAFs. && .AVIATION... Morning convection will gradually shift to the west this afternoon with the sea-breeze. Will continue with VCTS/TSRA at KCRP til about 21Z, with convection no longer mentioned at KVCT and KALI until 23Z. Will mention TEMPO TSRA at KVCT until 22Z with VCTS for a few hours beyond that. KLRD will likely have convection around tonight; timing of it is a bit of an issue but looking at the time-heights, believe the better chance will be AOA 08/03Z with chances remaining most of the night and into the morning. Eastern terminals are not expected to see much in convection overnight, then potential for showers and thunderstorms at KCRP and KVCT after 14Z (have PROB30), with no rain expected at KALI and any thunder ending at KLRD by 15Z. Overall winds will briefly be 11 knots or more this afternoon at KCRP, with less than 11 knots expected elsewhere with a southerly flow and winds diminishing and becoming light overnight. Finally, will have VFR conditions outside of showers/thunderstorms, but could have brief MVFR at KALI and possibly KVCT tomorrow morning. && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /Issued 1033 AM CDT Fri Sep 7 2018/ DISCUSSION... Radar trends and short-term model output suggests less coverage though mid afternoon, with drier air in the mid levels moving in from the south (shown in GOES-16 low level water vapor). Have lowered rain chances in most locations, as shower activity now is rather spotty and weak, with no activity out to the west. However do expect activity out west to pick up later this afternoon as the mid level dry air punch will mainly be confined to the eastern areas. Also, the 12Z NAM is suggesting that this drier air will be short-lived, and shower activity should develop later tonight over the gulf waters. For now, have left the rainfall forecast as-is and will wait for more model output before adjusting this forecast. Other adjustments to the first period, including a nudge of temperatures (up) a degree or so over the southern areas where drier air will move in the mid afternoon and thus could have a bit more sunshine. MARINE... Flow will become weak to moderate later this afternoon and continue tonight. However winds will taper off and be weak for a while with the frontal boundary getting closer to the waters. Otherwise, adjusted the rain chances for this morning and afternoon based on the aforementioned radar and short-term model trends. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /Issued 648 AM CDT Fri Sep 7 2018/ DISCUSSION... See Aviation below for 12Z TAF update. AVIATION... Deep moisture across the region will bring more scattered showers and thunderstorms to and within the vicinity of area terminals today. Expect convection developing near KCRP and KVCT this morning to push further inland to KALI and KLRD from the mid morning into the afternoon. Although VFR will generally prevail, any convection near the terminal may briefly lower ceilings and visibilities to MVFR. Shower and thunderstorm coverage will taper off from east to west through the evening and overnight. Winds will keep a light onshore flow through the period. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /Issued 440 AM CDT Fri Sep 7 2018/ SHORT TERM (Today through Saturday)... A mid/upper level shortwave trough will move across the Central Plains and Middle Mississippi Valley during the end of the week. A weak cold front will move into Texas during this time, with a weak onshore flow developing across the region. A deep moisture profile with precipitable water values in excess of 2 inches remain across the region this morning. Abundant moisture and unstable conditions will lead to more scattered showers and thunderstorms developing across the region once again today. Both the GFS and ECMWF are indicated slightly less moist air will push into the region from the south later today/tonight, though the GFS remains drier than the ECMWF. Regardless, more than sufficient moisture will remain over the region throughout the period with lower 500mb heights aloft. As the cold front slowly moves further south before stalling across Central Texas moisture will pool ahead of the boundary. Additional scattered showers and storms will be possible on Saturday, with the better coverage across the northern tier of counties. LONG TERM (Saturday night through Thursday)... Unsettled weather pattern will continue through much of the extended as showers and thunderstorms remain in the forecast daily. Upper level trough will be situated over IA/MO Saturday night and will move into the Great Lakes region Sunday. The associated cold front will extended back to the southwest and be draped across South Texas by Sunday. Moisture will pool along this boundary with PW values above 2 inches Sunday into Monday. With the boundary and abundant moisture across the region, rain chances will increase greatly during the Sun/Mon time frame. Pops may need to be raised in later forecasts if these trends continue, but will keep rain chances in the 50 to 60 percent range for now. Moderate to at times heavy rain may occur in stronger storms, which could lead to some minor flooding. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible on Tuesday as trough axis begins to lift to the northeast with favored locations across the northern Coastal Bend. For Wednesday and Thursday, moisture does not completely scour out of the area which could result in some isolated to scattered convection. Rain chances and cloud cover will set back temps a several degrees on Sunday with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s. A gradual warming trend will occur into next week with temperatures returning to the low/mid 90s by Wednesday and Thursday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
