Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 1220 AM CDT Tue Nov 1 2022 ...New AVIATION... .UPDATE... Issued at 925 PM CDT Mon Oct 31 2022 Convection has been a little slower to develop this evening compared to how the hi-res models depicted. Isolated showers have formed over portions of the area this evening with thunderstorms west of Cotulla. Satellite imagery shows the short wave trough over the Big Bend moving to the east. Moisture has been slowly increasing over south Texas, but 00Z Brownsville sounding indicated deeper moisture over deep south Texas along with elevated instability as MUCAPE values were near 600 J/kg. This deeper moisture and instability will continue to move northward into the Coastal Bend late this evening into the overnight hours. Large scale lift will increase after midnight as the short wave trough approaches along with low level warm air advection. Will continue to show PoPs increasing to categorical after midnight with PoPs decreasing from west to east Tuesday from mid morning into the afternoon as the short wave trough moves through. Heaviest rainfall amounts are still expected in the southern Coastal Bend in proximity to deeper moisture/instability along with some frontogenetic forcing in the low levels near the coastal trough. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Tuesday night) Issued at 337 PM CDT Mon Oct 31 2022 The combination of a passing mid to upper level disturbance, a developing coastal trough and the arrival of plentiful moisture will provide for showers and thunderstorms to impact the region through the period. Precipitable water values have been on the rise throughout the day today, and this trend is expected to continue overnight, with values rising to around 1.9 inches by tomorrow morning. Per latest satellite images, a dense cloud cover has shifted overhead, and the increased moisture is already leading to patchy light showers across western portions of the CWA. Rainfall and thunderstorm chances will increase from west to east overnight with the highest potential expected across southern and eastern portions of the area late tonight into Tuesday morning. Due to limited instability available, most of the activity should be showery in nature, but there is still a chance to see some thunderstorms. Rainfall totals from tonight through Wednesday will range from around a half an inch over portions of the Victoria Crossroads and northern Brush Country, to near 2.5 inches along the immediate coast south of Port Aransas. Isolated accumulations of up to 3.0 inches will be possible particularly along the immediate coast, which may lead to brief ponding of water over roadways, and low-lying/poor drainage areas. If the moisture axis shifts a bit farther inland, these higher rainfall totals could in turn move slightly inland as well. However, FFG remains fairly high, and widespread flooding remains unlikely. Slightly drier conditions are expected to follow Tuesday night as the moisture axis and the upper level system drifts eastward. But, there would still be enough residual moisture to generate some isolated showers, mainly across the eastern areas and over the waters. Low temperatures tonight and Tuesday night will generally range in the upper 50s to mid 60s. Highs on Tuesday are forecast to remain on the cooler side and in the upper 60s to mid 70s area-wide due to the dense cloud cover and rainfall potential in place. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through next Sunday) Issued at 337 PM CDT Mon Oct 31 2022 An upper level low over the Midwest continues to move east at the beginning of the long term period moving offshore near the Carolinas by Thursday. Also, a deep amplified trough takes shape over the Pacific Northwest and moves east across the Rockies as we head into the end of the week before lifting northeast across the Plains on Saturday. This feature is associated with a mid-level low developing towards the end of the work week across the Four Corners then dropping southeast before lifting northeast over the Texas Panhandle by Saturday. Out ahead of this system a LLJ forms across much of TX during the day Thursday and increasing on Friday and is expected to mix down to the surface with the help of steep lapse rates. Resulting in a Moderate flow over South Texas and a Moderate to Strong flow offshore. Moisture will advect into the area ahead of our next front bringing PWAT's to around 1.90" according to the GFS which is matching up pretty well with the ECMWF GEFS. The combination of increased moisture along with the front and a weak SW on Saturday will bring showers and thunderstorms to South Texas this weekend. FROPA is expected to move across the CWA between 06-12Z Saturday and reaching the coast by 12-18Z. Temperatures for the latter half of the week will trend slightly warmer than normal with highs in the mid to upper 80s across much of the region and lows in the upper 60s to low 70s. Immediately after the front pushes through highs on Saturday will hover in the mid to upper 70s with overnight lows once again dipping down into the 50s. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1208 AM CDT Tue Nov 1 2022 Poor flying conditions are expected through much of this TAF cycle. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms have been developing over the last several hours with coverage expected to increase through the night. MVFR ceilings are expected area wide with IFR decks possible with any passing shower or storm. Convection will begin to wane through the morning hours from west to east. The eastern terminals may see some lingering -RA through early this afternoon. MVFR/IFR ceilings are expected hold through the end of this TAF cycle in the wake of this morning's activity. && .MARINE... Issued at 337 PM CDT Mon Oct 31 2022 A generally weak to moderate easterly flow this afternoon will become moderate from west to east overnight. A developing coastal trough will lead to a strong easterly to northeasterly flow on Tuesday, with Small Craft Advisory conditions likely. Chances for showers and thunderstorms will increase overnight and continue through the day on Tuesday. Rainfall may be heavy at times. Small Craft Advisory conditions are expected to continue into the evening hours on Tuesday. Winds will weaken on Wednesday. Weak to moderate onshore flow increases to moderate Thursday afternoon and become moderate to strong Thursday evening in response to an upper level disturbance. Onshore flow then becomes strong late Friday ahead of a front. The cold front will approach the coastal waters Saturday. After which, offshore flow will turn northeast and become weak to moderate late Saturday. Meanwhile seas are forecast to build to 6 to 8 feet. Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed from late Thursday through late Saturday for much of the middle Texas coastal waters. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
