Updated national weather service corpus christi tx 108 am cdt Thu apr 19 2018 Discussion Updated for 06z aviation. Aviation Weak frontal boundary will move through south texas overnight with winds shifting around to the northeast. Low clouds and some showers may accompany the front and have included MVFR ceilings and vcsh remarks at ali crp lrd. The northeast winds will become gusty (in excess of 20 knots) later this morning and continue into the afternoon hours. The winds will diminish late in the afternoon to 10 knots or less and will remain relatively light through the rest of the period. Ceilings will improve during the day withVFR conditions expected by the afternoon hours at ali crp lrd. Vct should remain atVFR levels through the period. Previous discussion issued 920 pm cdt Wed apr 18 2018 discussion... The weak frontal boundary that was from victoria to laredo has stalled with the boundary back north of victoria again. Will have to wait for the next surge to arrive later tonight. Will remove slight chance pops for rest of this evening and keep the isolated showers in the forecast overnight as the front moves through. Appears the stronger winds will have a later arrival into the coastal waters. Winds may increase to SCA over the gulf waters by 15z but confidence not strong at this point. Will let the mid shift pinpoint the timing of the stronger winds. |
Previous discussion... Issued 650 pm cdt Wed apr 18 2018 discussion... See aviation section for 00z tafs. Aviation... Cold front is slowly sagging south through the region at this time, along a line from south of victoria to beeville to just north of laredo. The front will be near the coast by midnight with northeast winds increasing during the overnight as high pressure builds into the area. Ceilings in the 4-5 kft range this evening will lower to MVFR behind the front with the possibility of isolated showers across the area. Drier air will arrive behind the front in the vct area first with conditions improving toVFR late tonight and skies clearing by 18z Thursday. Ceilings will lift toVFR over the coastal bend by 16z with scattered clouds prevailing by the afternoon. MVFR ceilings will hold on a little later for the lrd area through 21z before lift toVFR levels.

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
