Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX
932 PM CDT FRI JUL 22 2016

.DISCUSSION...

No major changes are needed to the forecast this evening. The
forecast was updated though to account for latest observations and
trends. Some showers may redevelop over the Gulf Waters after 06z
and will keep 20 pops over the marine zones. Otherwise, another
warm night with lows in the middle to upper 70s. Updated products
all ready sent.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /Issued 654 PM CDT FRI JUL 22 2016/ 

DISCUSSION...

Updated for 00z aviation. 

AVIATION...VFR conditions will prevail this evening with winds
diminishing. There may be some patchy fog/br at ALI/VCT early
Saturday morning and have retained for now MVFR vsbys in the
latest forecast, although confidence of occurrence is lower.
VFR conditions expected again on Saturday with winds gusting 
around 20-22 knots at ALI/VCT/CRP during the afternoon. 

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /Issued 356 PM CDT FRI JUL 22 2016/ 

SHORT TERM (Tonight through Saturday Night)...

Concur with deterministic output that the upper ridge will remain
quasi-stationary yet with a gradual weakness in the 500mb heights
over the CWA/MSA during the period. NAM deterministic maintains
above normal PWAT values over the ERN CWA/MSA during the period.
Expect diurnal/noctural convection during the period yet mainly
isolated coverage when considering the upper ridge...weakening
upper heights notwithstanding. Anticipate patchy fog over portions
of the ERN/CNTRL CWA during the 09-13z Saturday period...
consistent with SREF VSBY probabilities. Extended the SPS for
106-109F until 00z Saturday to cover nearly all of the CWA.

LONG TERM (Sunday through Friday)...

Mid/upper level high pressure centered over the TX Panhandle and
Southern Plains is progged to begin breaking down by Sunday. An
easterly wave is then progged to track west across S TX Monday
placing the eastern side of the trough across the area by Tue and
Wed. This will lead to an increasing chance of convection Tue and
Wed as moisture also deepens across the area. Kept pops close to
previous forecast values as the Superblend model output was a bit
too high this far out and would like to see some consistency with
future model runs. Am expecting rain chances to decrease through the
latter part of next week as the trough exits the area. However, each
day through the long term is expected to have at least isolated
convection. Max temps Mon through Wed are expected to be a couple of
degrees cooler due to the increase in moisture/clouds. Heat indices
are expected to range from 105-109 Sun and Mon then decrease Tue/Wed
due to the overall cooler temps, but the higher heat indices are
expected to return by the end of next week.
