Locally heavy rainfall from thunderstorms produced flooding of roads in the Annaville.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Corpus Christi, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 30, 11:57 AM CST, 2 hours 58 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 1257 PM CDT Thu Sep 30 2021 .AVIATION... VFR conditions are expected to prevail this afternoon with brief periods of MVFR within thunderstorms. This mixture of VFR and MVFR is expected to continue through this TAF cycle. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected to affect the eastern terminals this afternoon with the activity expected to subside tonight after sunset before picking back up tomorrow morning. Due to favorable atmospheric conditions, funnel clouds will be possible through the afternoon across VCT, CRP and ALI. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop again tomorrow morning around 09/10z for the eastern terminals and 13z out west. Reduced visibilities and lower ceilings will be possible tomorrow morning within showers and thunderstorms. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 619 AM CDT Thu Sep 30 2021/ AVIATION /12Z TAFs/... GOES Microphysics RGB reveals fog spreading across the Coastal Plains and Victoria Crossroads this morning. This will result in brief MVFR/IFR visibilities over the next several hours, mainly at ALI/COT/VCT, before VFR regains control by mid morning. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible throughout the day across the eastern 3 terminals. Recent hi-res guidance is hinting at a cluster of storm near CRP from 15-18Z so introduced a mention of -TSRA with reduced visibilities. Convection will wane with the loss of daytime heating this evening. Another round of convection will begin to impact the western terminals towards the end of this TAF window with patchy fog settling in across the Victoria Crossroads. PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 406 AM CDT Thu Sep 30 2021/ SHORT TERM (Today through Friday)... A look at water vapor this morning reveals an upper trough digging across the Desert Southwest, a subtropical ridge to our south, and another trough situated along the east coast. At the surface, isolated showers and storms have been developing over the waters and have gradually been pushing inland across the Northern Coastal Bend. Coverage should increase through the morning hours as moisture convergence strengthens along the coast. Throughout the day, a series of H5 impulses will pass through the region helping to maintain scattered showers and thunderstorms across the Coastal Plains. Coverage will be a bit less than what we saw yesterday as the subtropical jet shifts to the north of the region leaving us with unfavorable upper level dynamics. Any storms that develop today will be capable of producing small hail and gusty winds as forecast soundings hint at CAPE values over 3000 J/kg, DCAPE over 1000 J/kg with little to no cap. Look for convection to wane this evening with the loss of daytime heating. With that said, a few storms may linger this evening across the Coastal Plains and Brush Country. A similar set up is in store on Friday as an upper level low meanders across the Desert Southwest. Upper level support becomes more favorable on Friday as ~50 knot H3 jet nudges into the region as a H5 shortwave rotates through. It's possible we see a MCS moving out of the Hill Country into South Texas during the morning hours with convection continuing throughout the day. Additional activity will likely fire up as a result of outflow boundary interactions during the afternoon hours. Locally heavy rainfall will be possible on Friday as these renewed upper level dynamics combine with increasing moisture as PWATs jump to over 2.25". Soundings reveal long, skinny CAPE, a highly saturated profile, and a warm cloud depth up to 15kft efficient for heavy rainfall. Guidance is generally in the 1-2" range across our western counties. However, the 00Z HREF places roughly 2-4" across the Northern Brush Country where WPC current has a Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall. Temperatures today will range from the upper 80s along the coast to the mid 90s across the Brush Country with heat indices generally in the 100-105 range. Increasing cloud cover and rain chances on Friday will result in cooler temps with highs in the mid 80s to near 90s degrees. LONG TERM (Friday Night through Wednesday)... Unsettled SW flow aloft will continue Friday night through Saturday well south of an upper low peeling northeast from the TX Panhandle. Although a subtropical jet will be across our CWA during this time, it is progged to be weakening all the while the best divergence focuses just north of this axis. Convection from Friday afternoon over the western Brush Country may be able to sustain itself overnight as a modest LLJ emerges. Farther south we'll be watching for the remnants of a large MCV/upper low exiting eastern Mexico and reaching South TX by Saturday morning. At least two sizable MCSs were underway over eastern Mexico early this morning with additional complexes likely unfolding here through tomorrow, so this scenario of enhanced lift by Saturday morning (mainly over the eastern half of the CWA) seems plausible. Both Friday night and Saturday show potential for additional locally heavy rain as PWATs hold around 2" with steering winds of 10 knots or less. Above normal PWATs remain with us on Sunday, yet conditions aloft will be trending a bit more stable as mid-level ridging expands west from the Gulf and veers S-SW winds to more of a warmer westerly component. PoPs were focused more along the coast and waters early in the day owing to some coastal speed convergence, before shifting inland through the day as convective temps are reached. PWATs begin cratering to 1" or less through the day on Monday as a cold front advects much lower dewpoints southward. CAPEs on Monday could easily be suppressed to only a few hundred J/kg, so if this continues to be the case later forecasts may need to remove thunder in favor of just showers. Dry surface ridging dominates thereafter with warm days and cool nights. Feel the NBM is a bit too mild with overnight lows by Tue night, so nudged lows on the cooler side for most spots especially given the NBM's warm bias during last week's cool episode. MARINE... Weak to moderate onshore flow will continue as we close out the work week. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected daily through the weekend. Moderate onshore flow Friday night will taper this weekend and briefly turn northeast on Sunday, before returning to onshore Sunday night. A weak cold front with much drier air will push south on Monday ahead of light northeast winds and diminishing rain chances. Dry conditions with light winds develop Tuesday through Thursday as high pressure expands through much of the western Gulf. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
