Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 653 PM CDT Sat Jun 5 2021 .AVIATION...00Z TAFs Scattered convection continues at this time over the Victoria Crossroads, assisted by a weak upper level short wave trough to the south of the mid level low over north Texas. Thunderstorms will continue to affect VCT area until 02Z with MVFR ceilings and vsbys, possibly IFR vsbys in heavy rain. Convection is expected to diminish with loss of heating after 02Z. VFR conditions will occur across the region until 07-08Z. Expect low stratus to form over the coastal plains with mainly IFR ceilings/MVFR vsbys for the inland sections and MVFR ceilings closer to the coast through 14Z. Sporadic MVFR ceilings could affect LRD/COT from 10-14Z. Ceilings will improved to MVFR for the coastal plains by 14Z and VFR by 17Z Sunday. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 419 PM CDT Sat Jun 5 2021/ SHORT TERM (Tonight through Sunday Night)... Concur with the deterministic runs that the axis of the upper level low pressure system will move slowly east of the CWA during the period, along with increasing subsidence over the CWA. The NAM maintains near normal PWAT values during the period. Anticipate isolated convection this evening. Owing to increased subsidence from the west, isolated convection is expected to remain primarily offshore Sunday. Patchy fog anticipated over interior portions of the CWA during mainly the 09-13z Sunday period, per expected thermodynamic profile/light wind, and SREF output. LONG TERM (Monday through Saturday)... The low that has been plaguing TX this week will finally move off to the northeast towards the Great Lakes throughout the long term period. A mid-level high builds in over TX as ridging dominates the CONUS generally east of the Rockies. During this timeframe a low that develops off the southern Coast of CA will move inland over the Desert SW and quickly dissipates as it flows north around the ridge. Expecting partly cloudy skies and warmer conditions to dominate South Texas mostly next week as we dry out in the mid to upper levels. Low level moisture remains due to moderate onshore flow and have left small chance of PoP's in the forecast because of possible shoers along the seabreeze. There's some uncertainty in the forecast towards the end of the period however, so stuck with the NBM for Thursday and beyond but may need to adjust as the forecast comes into focus. Likely to have SPS conditions out west for the Rio Grande Plains and perhaps the Western Brush Country due to drier air allowing for Heat Indices to climb into the triple digits. MARINE... Isolated convection anticipate overnight/early Sunday, as an upper level low pressure system moves across the Waters. Drier conditions Sunday night. A moderate to strong onshore flow Monday will become moderate Tuesday then weak to moderate by Thursday morning and persist through the end of the week except for a brief period of moderate to strong flow on Friday. Isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible daily, mainly north of Port Aransas. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
