Synopsis for the middle texas coastal waters.. Weak to moderate northeast flow will persist through Thursday. Rain chances will return late tonight into Thursday as remnants of the morning cold front return north as a warm front. Rain chances will diminish some Thursday evening, but return again late Thursday night. Weak southeast flow Thursday night will return patchy to areas of sea fog across the bays and nearshore waters. Rain chances will continue across area waters through the end of the work week and into the weekend until a cold front moves across the area Saturday morning. Areas of fog may result in reduced visibilities for most of Friday through late Saturday morning until the frontal passage. Moderate to strong southerly winds are expected Saturday morning before the front, with moderate northwest winds behind the front. Wind speeds should diminish slightly during the afternoon. Drier conditions are expected for Sunday, but more rain chances are expected on Monday.

(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus64 kcrp 202227 afdcrp area forecast discussion national weather service corpus christi tx 427 pm cst Wed feb 20 2019 Short term (tonight through Thursday night) Pleasant and dry conditions this afternoon under mostly sunny skies. The earlier frontal boundary is well offshore noted by the cloud deck across the northwestern gulf on visible satellite. Surface high pressure will shift off to the northeast which will allow the stalled front to lift back north as a warm front coastal trough later tonight. Moisture will gradually increase through the night, with low level clouds forming late in the night. Isentropic lift for light rain and showers increases late in the night after midnight, with greatest rain chances focusing across the waters. Rain chances will move inland but are expected to quickly shift focus toward the northeast toward the victoria crossroads as a weak mid-level shortwave helps lift the weak trough to the northeast. Rain chances will increase again Thursday night, again with greatest focus across the northeast, as the weak coastal trough slightly strengthens and redraws moisture back to the south. Sufficient isentropic lifting across the western brush country should keep at least slight to low- end chance pops for Thursday night. As for lows tonight, with the increase in moisture, lows should be warmer than last night with lows in the mid to upper 40s across inland areas from laredo to victoria and northwest. Southeast of that line, lows in the low to mid 50s are expected. Thursday highs will range from the low to mid 60s across the northeast where chances for rain remain greatest, to the upper 60s to low 70s to the southwest. Even warmer conditions are expected Thursday night with lows into the mid to upper 50s across the region. With the return of moisture, did include patchy to areas of fog across the bays and nearshore waters for Thursday night. With water temperatures in the mid to upper 50s, warm and moist air lifting over the cooler shelf waters will promote sea fog, possibly becoming dense at times. Long term (Friday through Wednesday) Isentropic ascent along a departing warm front may lead to a few scattered showers during the day Friday, but the best chances for rain will move north of the area along with the warm front. A strong shortwave trough digging into the southern rockies on Friday will eject northeast through the texas panhandle and towards the middle mississippi valley on Saturday bringing a cold front through our area. The models continue to maintain good agreement with the timing of the frontal passage. The front should enter the rio grande plains during the early morning hours and move completely south and east of |
the forecast area by noon. Slight chance to chance pops were maintained in the forecast, but the greatest large scale forcing for ascent should be far to our north, so only a few scattered showers are expected, and the best chances will be across the victoria crossroads. An isolated thunderstorm still cannot be completely ruled out immediately ahead of the front. A tight pressure gradient from the strong lee surface trough will likely bring breeze conditions and possibly elevated fire weather conditions across the rio grande plains Saturday afternoon as dry air quickly advects into the region from the northwest. Dry weather is expected on Sunday, but another warm front will slowly move northward along the gulf coast early next week. More intermittent rain chances and persistent cloud cover is expected from Monday through Wednesday. Marine Weak to moderate northeast wind is expected tonight through Thursday. Winds will gradually become more east to southeast Thursday night as a coastal trough lifts north. Isolated to scattered showers or light rain is expected Thursday night. With the return of moisture, did include patchy to areas of fog across the bays and nearshore waters for Thursday night. Water temperatures in the mid to upper 50s combined with warm, moist air lifting over the cooler shelf waters will promote sea fog, possibly becoming dense at times. Weak to moderate onshore flow is expected Friday before strengthening Friday night and into Saturday morning ahead of a cold front. Winds may reach advisory criteria Friday night and early Saturday. The cold front is expected to move across the waters Saturday morning, with winds diminishing and becoming offshore after the frontal passage. More onshore flow is expected by Sunday afternoon.

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. |
