5/23/2017 - Worked with NOAA again to speed up the 7 day forecast load times. Thanks to them for being responsive. 5/19/2016 - There were issues with the 3 day airport observation history. I switched to another data source. Let me know if you see any issues with the data feeds. |

Updated national weather service corpus christi tx 1201 pm cdt Mon may 29 2017 Discussion Wind advisory cancelled early, but gale warning extended for the northern gulf waters until 1 pm as per hrrr and hgx collaboration. Small craft advisory for the rest of the waters. Coastal flooding continues but is coming down. Rip current risk remains in effect. Did adjust temperatures mainly down today due to the clouds, rain, and expected lower temperatures. Other parameters were adjusted as needed. For now, weather grids were unchanged. Busy 18 hours. That is all for now. Previous discussion issued 1022 am cdt Mon may 29 2017 discussion... did a quick update due to winds strengthening in the wake of the storm system that moved through earlier this morning. Due to winds, went with a gale warning and wind advisory along the coast. Also, tide rapidly increased to 3 feet msl, therefore, went with high rip current risk and coastal flood warning. Winds are already diminishing and may cancel gale warning and or wind advisory early. Feel that tides will remain abv 2 feet for several hours. Previous discussion... Issued 609 am cdt Mon may 29 2017 discussion... 12z aviation discussion is below synoptic discussion. Have cancelled the flash flood watch as heavy rain has shifted east off the coast. Light rain over the watch area continues to diminish in areal coverage and additional intense rainfall is not anticipated. Thus... The flash flood watch was cancelled. Aviation... Back edge of large precip shield should be east of kcrp kali by start of TAF period... And east of kvct by mid mrng. Klrd to remain dry this mrng. Only iso to perhaps sct shra tsra possible this aftn across the region... But areal coverage xpctd to be too sparse to mention in tafs. GenerallyVFR CIGS today with brief periods of MVFR CIGS possible. Better chances of MVFR cigs occurring by late in the TAF period. Weak eserly sfc winds... Vrb at times. Previous discussion... Issued 429 am cdt Mon may 29 2017 short term (today though tonight)... an intense MCS and prolific lightning producer has pushed off the middle lower tx coast as of writing with post event light to moderate rain occurring in its wake. The nocturnal MCS has worked over the atmosphere pretty good and this should limit much in the way of convective development today. Ongoing light moderate rain should continue to gradually dissipate through the rest of the night. A weak quasi-stationary boundary is currently draped along the northern edge of the CWA this morning... And is prog to drift nw through the day. With the boundary remaining north of the area... And moisture depth remaining high... An isolated to perhaps scattering of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon cannot be ruled out... But coverage should generally by limited today. |
Lack of any significant forcing aloft... And boundary remaining nw of the cwa... Should limit much if any precip development tonight. Max temps today are very tricky and current fcst values may be too low if some clearing occurs during the day. Note: flash flood watch may be cancelled early once steadier rains dissipate further. Long term (Tuesday through Sunday)... the potential for unsettled weather may continue into the extended part of the forecast. Moisture decreases slightly on Tuesday but daytime heating may be enough to generate isolated to scattered convection. By Wednesday, a shortwave trough will move out of mexico and then into the southern plains by Thursday. Moisture improves further on Wednesday with pw values climbing around 1.8 to 1.9 inches. Chances for showers and storms will increase again Wednesday into Thursday and will keep 50 to 60 pops in the forecast for now. Occasional disturbances embedded in westerly flow aloft will move across the state through the weekend. Diurnally driven convection will persist Friday through Sunday and slight to low end end chance pops seem reasonable at this time. Chances for showers and storms could also be aided by another frontal boundary late in the period, but there is plenty of time to sort out those details.

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. |
