Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Corpus Christi Texas 
640 PM CDT Sat Jul 26 2008 


Aviation...expect VFR conditions to prevail through the entire 
period...except for a brief window from 08-15z Sunday morning when 
MVFR/IFR visibilities/ceilings will be possible due to patchy fog across the 
inland coastal plains. Isolated LIFR conditions will be possible 
mainly from kali to kvct near sunrise...with conditions returning 
to VFR by 15z on Sunday.

Previous discussion... /issued 304 PM CDT Sat Jul 26 2008/ 


Short term (tonight through Sunday night)...upper level high 
pressure centered over north central Texas will migrate eastward 
150 miles or so through the period but otherwise continue to 
dominate the weather over south Texas. Dry conditions to prevail 
through Sunday night as moisture remains limited to the low levels 
and somewhat elevated due to recent rains. Though not indicated 
by MOS guidance, believe that fog development tonight will become 
somewhat of an issue as the subsidence inversion is forced down 
toward the surface by the high pressure aloft. Will mention patchy 
fog in most of the forecast zones with visibilities possibly 
getting down to around 1/2 mile in some locations. Overnight lows 
to hover near normal tonight/Sunday night with highs on Sunday a 
little below normal. 


Long-term (monday through saturday)...patchy fog may develop early 
Monday morning... then partly cloudy/mostly sunny skies can be 
expected as middle/upper level ridge will begin to weaken Monday 
through Thursday and allow moisture to return back into the region. 
The moisture return does not appear to be too impressive... yet 
expecting enough of an increase to add in sea-breeze activity 
Thursday through Saturday mainly for the northeastern counties. As 
for temperatures... will stick close to guidance with the exception for the 
southern counties where precipitation was heaviest from Dolly. 
These areas will be a degree or two cooler in the afternoon and will 
stay a few degrees warmer at night as muggy conditions persist. 


Marine...weak to moderate onshore flow and no more swell 
generation due to Hurricane Dolly will keep winds/waves below 
headline criteria through the period.
