Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 1233 AM CDT Mon Apr 1 2019 .DISCUSSION... See aviation discussion below for the 06Z TAFs. && .AVIATION... VFR conditions currently across S TX, are expected to lower to MVFR for ALI and CRP toward early Mon morning (10-12Z), then VFR conditions are expected to resume by early Mon afternoon with skies becoming scattered by late afternoon/early evening. Light and variable winds tonight, becoming slightly more elevated out of the north around 10-12Z as weak high pressure builds into S TX. Light winds are expected to gradually veer to the east by Mon afternoon. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 934 PM CDT Sun Mar 31 2019/ DISCUSSION...Rain chances have diminished this evening with the passage of the short wave trough to the east. Removed rain chances along the coast for rest of this evening. Satellite imagery shows cloud deck lingering over the Coastal Bend with 00Z CRP sounding indicating the moist layer is between 290-295K. Loop of IR imagery shows this cloud layer is slowly drifting north from the Coastal Bend with another cloud layer moving up the Rio Grande. Cloud cover in this region will keep temperatures from falling as much as the northern sections. Bumped the minimum temperatures across southern sections of the Coastal Bend and Brush Country up a category. Enough isentropic lift could lead to isolated showers in the southern Coastal Bend overnight. MARINE...Winds and seas have decreased over the offshore waters. Will cancel SCA early. SCEC conditions will linger into the overnight hours offshore with only isolated showers possible. PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 701 PM CDT Sun Mar 31 2019/ DISCUSSION...See Aviation section for 00Z TAFs. AVIATION...Clearing skies have reached the Brush Country as the upper level disturbance moves into the coastal waters. Brief period of MVFR ceilings will be possible over the southern Coastal Bend for the next hour or so. The mid level clouds are expected to remain along the coast through the night with few to scattered clouds over the inland coastal plains into the Brush Country. Another upper level disturbance will move into west Texas late tonight. Low level moisture is expected to move back into the Coastal Bend toward daybreak Monday. MVFR ceilings around 2500 feet is expected through the morning into early afternoon, while mid level clouds should move back into the Victoria Crossroads. Ceilings will lift to VFR levels in the afternoon. Few-scattered clouds with some increase in cirrus during the afternoon is expected for the Brush Country on Monday. Light north winds will occur through the period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
