NWS Corpus Christi, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 24, 5:19 AM CST, 5 hours 31 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 619 AM CDT Wed Jun 24 2020 .DISCUSSION... Updated for 12Z Aviation Discussion. && .AVIATION... VFR conditions prevail for most sites, though VCT remains MVFR after a thunderstorm passed over the area. Convection will continue through today; any storms that form could produce heavy rainfall, which could reduce VSBY and CIGs to MVFR to IFR. The bulk of the convection should be over by the afternoon, when the sea breeze could again fire off some more storms. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 330 AM CDT Wed Jun 24 2020/ SHORT TERM (Today through Thursday)... Convection to the north of the area has been ongoing for much of the night. In spite of strong instability and deep moisture, the storms seem to approach the area and fizzle out just as the reach our border. By the pre-dawn hours, models show some increased chances for rain, though rain totals have backed of from previous forecasts, with drier mid-levels expected move in as the short wave and upper low move east. While these dynamics will move away from the area, deep moisture and instability will continue through the afternoon, so sea breeze convection will be very possible. With PWAT values around 2 inches, we can expect some locally heavy rainfall with any convection. Isolated to scattered showers will continue tonight and Thursday, mainly over the eastern portion of the CWA. Most places will remain a bit cooler today, but heat index values could reach near 105 in some isolated locations. Highs for today will reach into the mid 90s across the west to the upper 80s along the coast. Depending on shower coverage, it is possible we could be slightly cooler or warmer this afternoon. Temperatures will remain warm tonight, with a repeat in temperatures for Thursday. Coastal flooding does not appear to be much of a threat today, though we could be close south of Port Aransas. Will not issue any headlines with this as the trend has been lower over the last few tide cycles. LONG TERM (Thursday Night through Wednesday)... The upper level trough positioned across the northeast will continue to lift far enough away from the region that additional shortwaves rotating around the base of the trough won't have much influence on the area. With that said, some linger H5 energy will linger through Friday and interact with deep tropical moisture as PWATs remain above 2". Rain chances will remain greatest Thursday night through Friday. Kept POPs on Friday generally around 40-50% throughout the day but a lot of this will be dependent on how the deep moisture interacts with the Saharan Dust moving across the Gulf. Recent Dust AOT forecast from the NASA-GMAO show the bulk of dust arriving mid day Friday so Friday's forecast remains rather uncertain. In addition, a 30-40 knot H85 LLJ will develop over the waters Thursday night into Friday morning. We will have to be on the lookout for gusty winds mixing down to the surface as this LLJ interacts with the drier air. Overall, the QPF forecast didn't change much with 1- 3" expected across the region with locally higher amounts possible. WPC currently places the bulk of our CWA in a marginal ERO for Friday. The upper level ridge will build back into the region this weekend and persist through next week. With significantly drier air in place, most locations should remain dry outside of the daily isolated convection along the sea breeze. Temperatures will remain somewhat cooler through the end of the work week as overcast skies persist. This "relief" won't last long as we warm back up over the weekend with highs back in the low 90 across the eastern areas and triple digits out west. MARINE... Scattered to numerous showers will be possible through tonight, then become isolated to scattered for Thursday. Onshore flow will continue through the period. Winds will kick up to SCA levels on Thursday night as a 35-40 knot LLJ develops overhead. Winds will weaken throughout the day Friday with SCEC conditions possible through the weekend. Chances for showers and thunderstorms will persist through the end of the work week. We will begin to dry out this weekend as drier air moves into the area. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
