Fxus64 kcrp 231540 afdcrp area forecast discussion national weather service corpus christi tx 1040 am cdt Thu may 23 2019 Discussion No changes needed to the forecast at this time. We are seeing a few very light showers moving onshore near fulton and heading northward. Will keep a slight chance of precipitation going today for the eastern counties as a weak shortwave trough tracks eastward across the state. Otherwise, increased cloud cover today should keep temperatures a couple degrees cooler than yesterday, so we should not see significant heat index values today. Winds are also a bit lighter than yesterday, but still gusting over 25 kt at times. Prev discussion issued 632 am cdt Thu may 23 2019 12z aviation update... aviation... MVFR conditions will quickly transition intoVFR later on this morning for all terminals. The coastal terminals may hang onto the clouds just a little bit longer. Winds will be increasing once again with some gusts approaching 30 knots. Can't rule out a stray shower or two for the coastal terminals this afternoon, however, confidence is too low to include at this time. MVFR conditions will again be expected later tonight as low clouds push back into the area. Prev discussion... Issued 347 am cdt Thu may 23 2019 short term (today through Friday)... another mostly cloudy morning across south tx this morning as a stratus deck developed overnight. Aloft, not much change in the overall synoptic pattern. The only difference is another strong shortwave digging across the southwest us. This will lead to continued surface troughing upstream, which will keep surface pressure gradient tight allowing for another breezy windy day across south texas. A weak h5 impulse will move south to north across western tx today. This should be the focus for a few showers or storms across the high plains. Back home most of the area should be dry, however, the rain chances will be nonzero given the rich boundary layer. Dry air aloft is the primary limiting factor in rain chances at the moment. Temperatures will be warm again today, however, a degree or two cooler out west. In addition, slightly lower dew points across the rio grande plain will likely keep heat index values below 105 degrees today. Overnight tonight the stratus deck rolls back in from east to west. Winds remain gusty like similar nights in the past week or so. Friday looks a couple of degrees cooler again with perhaps a few more low-topped CU hanging around, but with the very dry layer aloft, expect little in the way of pops across the region. Long term (Friday night through Wednesday)... upper level pattern remains as previously forecast. Upper level

trough over the western us with ridging over the gulf of mexico into the southeast us. This pattern looks to begin breaking down early next week with the tough ejecting across the central us. After dry conditions persisting through the weekend, this trough pushing eastward could provide us with at least slight chances for rain. Deep moisture still looks rather limited due to the persistent south to southwesterly flow aloft, but the potential will be there for a few showers. Otherwise, generally quiet weather is expected. Winds will be breezy daily through at least Tuesday, but could weaken by mid-week as the pattern shifts and pressure gradient subsides. Temperatures remain near to slightly above normal. Marine... a strong onshore flow will continued through late weekend and into the upcoming holiday weekend. Hazardous marine conditions can be expected with winds and seas exceeding small craft advisory thresholds. A moderate to at times strong onshore flow is expected to persist later this weekend through Tuesday. Advisory conditions will be possible at times. Expect mainly dry conditions.

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.
