Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 1246 PM CDT Wed Aug 10 2022 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Thursday) Issued at 336 AM CDT Wed Aug 10 2022 High pressure aloft will keep most of S TX dry today. However, sufficient moisture remains in place for isolated showers and thunderstorms along the sea breeze. The high pressure will also lead to another hot and humid day with heat indices ranging from 105 to 109 this afternoon. A few locations may briefly reach around 110. Moisture will increase tonight as the high pressure aloft begins to shift west of the area. PWATs between 2 to 2.3 inches are progged to spread southwestward across S TX late tonight through Thursday as a short wave tracks southwest around the eastern periphery of the high. The GFS is more pronounced with this feature than other models. However, models are in fair agreement with bringing convection toward the north and northeastern portions of the CWA early Thursday morning along a weak boundary and morphing into a coastal trough. In addition, models show the environment to be weakly to moderately unstable, mainly across the Coastal Bend and Victoria Crossroads. The combination of these features, along with diffluence aloft and low level moisture convergence with the coastal trough, will be conducive for convective development, especially across the northern and eastern portions of S TX on Thursday. With the increase in convection, temperatures will be cooler Thursday. Heat indices may still reach 105 to 109 Thursday afternoon, but will be spotty and brief. Latest tide levels at Aransas Pass are around 1.4ft MSL and are expected to be around 1.5ft MSL through approximately 9 AM CDT. Although the PETSS shows tide levels at Aransas Pass slightly decreasing Thursday, they will continue to run around 0.75ft above normal. With a full moon tonight and tides running slightly above normal, minor coastal flooding can not be ruled out Thursday morning during high tide. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday night through Tuesday) Issued at 336 AM CDT Wed Aug 10 2022 The GFS/ECMWF predict an inverted upper trough to position over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico Friday, and over the CWA Saturday, along with above normal PWAT values. Expect copious moisture to contribute to isolated/scattered convection over the CWA Friday, with additional activity Saturday owing to greater upper forcing/ moisture. The GFS is predicted to move the upper trough westward at a faster rate than the ECMWF Sunday, yet both solutions maintain moist conditions over the CWA and thus expect additional isolated/scattered convection. The GFS and ECMWF diverge with respect to the 500mb heights Monday, with the GFS more aggressive with building the ridge/drying over the CWA which suggests no significant precipitation owing to limited moisture, while the ECMWF retains moist conditions. Will compromise with isolated convection along the sea breeze. No significant precipitation expected Tuesday, as the GFS/ECMWF are consistent with the CWA under the influence of the upper ridge/below normal PWAT values. PETSS output suggests that coastal flooding not anticipated at least Friday through Sunday. WaveWatch output maintain swell periods below 8s at least through Monday, and thus no elevated rip current risk. Maximum Heat Index values around 105F Friday through Monday, yet increasing to 105-109F Tuesday. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1237 PM CDT Wed Aug 10 2022 VFR conditions across sites currently is mainly expected to prevail throughout the TAF period. Light and variable winds early in the afternoon will gust up to around 20-25 kts from the southeast with the seabreeze later this afternoon but will diminish during the evening hours. Isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible this afternoon from the Coastal Bend to the Victoria Crossroads but the best chances will be at VCT. VSBY's could be reduced briefly in and around storms to MVFR conditions. Expecting settled conditions overnight with isolated thunderstorms again tomorrow morning mainly across the Victoria Crossroads. Storm coverage is expected to become scattered tomorrow afternoon across most of South Texas but will include in the next TAF cycle. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
