Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 631 AM CDT Fri Jun 26 2020 .DISCUSSION... Update for 12Z Aviation. && .AVIATION... Showers and thunderstorms will continue to move across our eastern areas and mainly impact ALI, CRP and VCT this morning. Generally VFR conditions will drop to brief MVFR/IFR conditions with any passing storm. Activity will slowly spread west throughout the day and impact COT and LRD this afternoon. Convection will wane this evening with the loss of daytime heating. Southeasterly winds will gust around 20-25 knots today with winds becoming light overnight. Low level stratus will set in across the Coastal Plains tonight which may lead to MVFR cigs. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 403 AM CDT Fri Jun 26 2020/ SHORT TERM (Today through Saturday)... Another day of showers and thunderstorms is in store across South Texas today. As the subtropical ridge builds in across the Gulf, some H5 energy will rotate around the ridge and interact with deep tropical moisture in place. Model soundings this morning hint at PWATs around 2.25" and MLCAPE from 1500-2000 J/kg in place along the coast. Moisture will continue to surge inland as a roughly 30 knot H85 LLJ establishes itself along the Middle Texas coast. Convection will fire up this morning as the mid to upper level wave moves through with activity likely being enhanced by the sea breeze throughout the day. Locally heavy rainfall is possible with these storms as storm motion will be fairly weak. With saturated soils in place due to heavy rainfall this week, especially across the Northern Coastal Bend and Victoria Crossroads, any locally heavy rainfall may result in flooding across the region. WPC is highlighting a corridor of 1-3" today across the Coastal Bend and Coastal Plains and have placed us in a Slight Risk for today's Excessive Rainfall Outlook. The Saharan Dust we have been talking about for much of the week will continue to slowly move inland today. As a result, we may see some hazy skies and spectacular sunrises and sunsets. This drier air likely won't hinder our rain chances today because of how deep the tropical moisture is. However, we will begin to see the SAL works to dry us out this evening as a stout dry layer builds from H85 to H7. The ridge will shift into the region tonight which will finally cut off our rain chances as we head into the weekend. It is possible we see some isolated activity along the sea breeze but with decreased moisture and subsidence in place, most will stay dry. LONG TERM (Saturday Night through Thursday)... A mid level ridge axis over the northern Gulf of Mexico will build to the west into the region Saturday night and Sunday. Drier air in the lower levels of the atmosphere will also move into the region with the higher moisture axis west into northeast Mexico. Went with CONSall guidance for winds with breezy to windy conditions expected each day from Sunday through Tuesday as NBM too low with wind speeds with expected strong gradient associated with a trough of low pressure over west Texas. The upper ridge weakens a bit Sunday night as an upper level short wave trough moves out of northeast Mexico into the Hill Country. Will show a slight chance of convection over the western Brush Country Sunday night as this disturbance interacts with the slightly better moisture in this region. The short wave trough will move to the northeast for Monday and will show only a slight chance of rain over the Victoria Crossroads. The upper level ridge will move over south Texas for Tuesday through Thursday limiting rain chances during the period. Afternoon heat index values will be in 105-109 degree range over the inland coastal plains over the western Brush Country Sunday through Thursday with values possibly reaching 110 degrees Tuesday-Wednesday. MARINE... A moderate onshore flow will continue as we head into the weekend with SCEC conditions expected over the offshore waters today. Showers and thunderstorms are likely today as deep tropical moisture remains in place across the region. Rain chances will taper off this evening and drier air shifts into the region.A moderate onshore flow/SCEC conditions will persist Sunday through Tuesday as a trough of low pressure remains over west Texas and high pressure stays over the northern Gulf of Mexico. Occasional periods of moderate to strong onshore flow/SCA conditions could occur over the bays and near shore waters Sunday night through Tuesday night. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
