Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX
446 PM CDT Thu Jun 3 2021
.SHORT TERM (Tonight through Friday Night)...
The ECMWF/NAM deterministic runs predict increasing upper forcing
during the period associated with the approaching upper
trough/low. NAM predicts PWAT values well above normal during the
period. The GFS, and to a lesser extent the RAP, maintains a weak
quasi-stationary boundary across the CWA overnight, while the NAM
keeps it farther south. Expect scattered/numerous convection
during the period. The RAP and NAM predict thermodynamic profiles
conducive to efficient rainfall production (warm nearly saturated
0-4km layer and moderate CAPE) after 06z Friday, with significant
0-6km vertical shear as the caveat. Likely that rainfall totals
over many areas exceed hourly FFG values. Concur with WPC
regarding the Marginal/Slight Risk over the CWA tonight/Friday.
Coordinated with BRO WFO and issued a FFA for all of the CWA for
the 00-12z Friday period. It will likely need to be extended
beyond 12z Friday yet will defer to the mid shift.
&&
.LONG TERM (Saturday through Thursday)...
Rain chances will continue through the extended period, but may some
drying by the end of next week.
A mid/upper level low will meander across TX through Saturday with
embedded short waves rounding its base and moving across S TX.
Models prog the environment to be unstable with minimal CIN and
ample amount of moisture. PWATs are progged to range from 1.6 inches
across the west to 1.9 across the northeastern portions of the CWA.
Models are also hinting at a weak boundary/convergence zone across
the northwestern CWA Sat morning and increasing diffluence aloft.
All of these features combined will be conducive for sct to num
showers and thunderstorms on Saturday with possibly a few strong
storms. QPF values are not quite as high for Sat as previous runs,
but the forecasted environment will have the potential for locally
heavy rainfall, especially across the Victoria Crossroads. The
Weather Prediction Center has a marginal risk for excessive rainfall
for the VCT area on Sat.
Slightly drier Sunday as the upper low axis shifts east of the area
and brings dry mid levels across S TX. Still enough moisture for iso
to sct convection with the better chances remaining across the VCT
area. Models prog another short wave embedded in the northwest flow
aloft to move southeast across the region Monday bringing another
round of convection. This pattern continues through the middle of
next week.
Warmer max temps Sunday through mid week combined with a humid
environment could lead to afternoon heat indices reaching 105 across
the western CWA. Monday may see heat indices ranging from 105 to
108.
&&
.MARINE...
The combination of a developing upper level low pressure system
and copious moisture will contribute to scattered/numerous showers
and thunderstorms late tonight through Friday. A weak to
moderate, to sometimes moderate, onshore flow can be expected
Saturday through the middle of next week. Isolated to scattered
showers and thunderstorms will be possible daily.
