Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Corpus Christi Texas 
301 PM CDT Thursday Aug 7 2008 


Short term (tonight through Friday night)...isolated showers 
offshore and any stray showers inland along the sea-breeze this 
afternoon will quickly dissipate early this evening. Not much else 
to speak of through the short term. A drying trend in the precipitable waters  and 
general subsidence will mean dry and warm conditions. 


&& 


Marine...slightly weaker winds through the short term...with a 
weak to moderate onshore flow prevailing. Anticipate winds below 
scec. 


&& 


Long term (saturday through thursday)...high pressure will continue 
to dominate our weather pattern through the extended. Models 
continue to keep disturbances well east of the area as we remain on 
the subsident side of high pressure ridge. Therefore...will keep 
forecast dry and warm with maximum heat indices expected to approach 
or exceed 105 degrees this weekend through early next week. 
Deepening trough over the Lee side of The Rockies is prognosticated to 
increase onshore flow over the northwest Gulf and increase seas heights 
to just below Small Craft Advisory criteria.
