Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Corpus Christi Texas 
406 am CDT Sat may 25 2013 


Short term (today through sunday)...main forecast challenge for 
short term period is chances of precipitation. Warm air advection early this morning is 
interacting with an area of dvpa to allow for renewed development 
of showers and thunderstorms over portions of the coastal Bend. 
Weak short wave troughs from 700 mb to 500 mb are forecast to slowly move east 
across south central Texas resulting in continued DPVA across County Warning Area 
today. Combination of DPVA...an increasingly unstable 
airmass...and continued low level moisture transport should allow 
for a scattering of showers and thunderstorms to continue today. 
Greatest chances should be across the east this morning with areal 
coverage gradually shifting west this afternoon. Activity should 
begin to wane by this evening as instability diminishes and middle 
level vorticity maximum shifts north and east of the area. An additional 
weak short wave trough on Sunday will skirt across the region. 
However...atmospheric moisture depth is forecast to be drier than 
today and thus only a slight chance of precipitation is forecast 
at this time. Maximum temperatures today will likely be affected by precipitation 
and overall have tried to account for thicker cloud cover today 
and more sunshine on Sunday. 
&& 


Long term (sunday night through friday)...a weak upper level ridge 
over northeast Mexico Sunday night will build into Texas Monday and 
slide east of the area by Wednesday. Surface ridge will build into 
the northern Gulf of Mexico pushing drier air into the region for 
Memorial Day into Wednesday. Low pressure developing over the High 
Plains Tuesday and Wednesday as an upper level trough moves into 
southern rockies Wednesday will lead to an increase in the pressure 
gradient here with breezy conditions inland/Small Craft Advisory conditions for the 
coastal waters. 00z European model (ecmwf) model is a little more progressive with 
the upper trough moving across the southern rockies middle week as the 
other models have been showing. Enough moisture return will occur 
by Thursday such that isolated convection will be possible as the 
upper trough lifts into the Southern Plains. Removed probability of precipitation on Friday 
as the upper trough is expected to lift well to the north.
