Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 631 AM CDT Wed Aug 17 2022 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 323 AM CDT Wed Aug 17 2022 GOES water vapor imagery indicates a mid-level trough extends across the eastern two-thirds of the CONUS this morning. At the surface, an area of low pressure is located beneath the western periphery of the trough in eastern Oklahoma. The surface pressure gradient is contributing to southerly flow across Texas. While this low level flow is advecting Gulf moisture into the Southern Plains, the 00Z soundings at BRO and CRP both indicate that low level humidity has decrease over the past 24 hours. The drier low level will contribute to a less conducive environment for the development of robust convection today. Therefore, shower and thunderstorm is expected to be even more isolated today and chances for measurable precipitation today are less than 20 percent. Cyclonic vorticity maxima digging southeastward along the western periphery of the 500 hPa trough will support the surface low and associated cold front progressing southward into north Texas during tonight. 00Z HREF guidance indicates the surface front will be roughly along or just north of Interstate 10 by Thursday morning. A conditionally unstable atmosphere characterized by 1000-2000 J/kg SBCAPE will develop in vicinity of the front Thursday. Deep layer shear vectors less than 20 knots aligned roughly parallel to the orientation of the front will support the development of multicells and line segments across Central Texas during the afternoon hours. The clusters and line segments are expected to slowly propagate southward and will approach northern portions of the CWA late tomorrow afternoon. There is 30 percent chance that convection will produce measurable precipitation over the northern Coastal Plains and Victoria Crossroads late tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow evening. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 323 AM CDT Wed Aug 17 2022 Key messages: - Heat index values between 105-109 for much of South Texas Friday through next Wednesday. - A tropical wave will enter the Bay of Campeche Thursday The upper level trough continues to dig into the Southeastern United States Thursday night with models continuing to show this feature ejecting a frontal boundary which could potentially reach South Texas Friday. With PWATs ranging from 1.77-2" Friday along with the stalled boundary, scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible across the northern Brush Country, northern Coastal Bend and the Victoria Crossroads Friday. With very little change from the previous forecast package, models continue to show a tropical wave (20% chance of development in the next 5 days as per the National Hurricane Center) entering the Bay of Campeche Thursday morning. Models are continuing to show the feature moving northward through the end of the work week, potentially approaching the Mexico/Texas border Saturday. If this verifies, additional tropical moisture can be advected into South Texas leading to showers and thunderstorms across the area this weekend with rain chances tapering off next week. In addition to the potential for heavy rainfall with the tropical wave, an increased risk of rip currents will also be possible this weekend. Cooler highs are expected through the long-term with highs ranging from the lower 90s near the coast to near 100 degrees across the Brush Country. Due to the expected increase in moisture as well as moist soils, heat index values will continue to range from 105 to 109 daily for much of South Texas. Lows will remain mild with temperatures ranging from the mid 70s to lower 80s. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 626 AM CDT Wed Aug 17 2022 Satellite imagery and observing sites indicate a stratus developing around 1500 feet over the past 2 hours. Periods of MVFR ceiling restrictions will continue through 15Z when ceilings are expected to mix out to VFR. VFR conditions will prevail trough the rest of the day with southeast winds of 10-15 knots. && .MARINE... Issued at 323 AM CDT Wed Aug 17 2022 Weak to moderate south southeasterly flow is expected through Thursday night and Friday with winds increasing to more moderate levels Saturday through Monday evening as a tropical wave potentially approaches the coastal waters. The increase in winds this weekend will result in periods of Small Craft Exercise Caution conditions, with the possibility of brief Small Craft Advisory conditions from time to time. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible Saturday morning through early next week, with the potential for gusty winds within any possible thunderstorm. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
