113 FXUS64 KCRP 080004 AFDCRP Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 704 PM CDT Sun Jul 7 2024 ...New UPDATE... .UPDATE... Issued at 657 PM CDT Sun Jul 7 2024 With Beryl moving north and almost to the latitude of Corpus Christi, the hurricane warnings south of Port Aransas have been cancelled, and replaced with Tropical Storm Warnings. The dry air has been wrapping into the storm all day, with the best look for it now with the eye wall on radar beginning to almost complete the circle. The expectation, however, is that the moisture will begin to push out the day air, and will allow the storm to intensify overnight. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Monday night) Issued at 431 PM CDT Sun Jul 7 2024 Key Messages: - All of South Texas interests should continue to monitor the progress of Beryl - Rain chances increase Sunday and continue into next week. - Hurricane Warnings, Storm Surge Warnings and Tropical Storm Warnings are in effect along the Middle Texas Coast Beryl is the main concern for tonight and into Monday as the storm moves north through the Gulf to near Matagorda Bay early Monday morning. Beryl has been slowly deepening this afternoon and is still expected to increase to category 1 hurricane overnight, and rapid intensification is still possible before landfall. Therefore we still cannot rule out the strengthening into a low end category 2 hurricane. Dry air remains present in the inner core of the storm, keeping intensification on the slower side at this time. However, the environment should become more favorable for significant intensification to a occur before landfall overnight into Monday morning. The official NHC guidance has only shifted slightly east, with confidence increasing on a landfall over the Mid to Upper Texas coast, focusing around Matagorda Bay. Outer rainbands associated with Beryl have continued to slowly move into the Middle Texas Coast and Coastal Bend, causing local conditions to deteriorate throughout the day. Hurricane Warning areas remain unchanged, and Storm Surge Warnings remain in effect along the islands and coastal portions from Padre Island National Seashore to Sabine Pass, TX, including Corpus Christi Bay, Matagorda Bay, and Galveston Bay. Tropical Storm Warnings are also in effect for the Coastal Plains including inland Kleberg, inland Nueces, inland San Patricio, Bee, and Goliad Counties. There are also several additional hazardous impacts across the region. The storm conditions will diminish on Monday as Beryl moves from the Texas Gulf Coast to southeast Texas and East Texas by Monday evening. Monday night looks to be quiet as high pressure briefly builds into the region. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through next Saturday) Issued at 431 PM CDT Sun Jul 7 2024 Tuesday, the moisture still remain over the region, but any precipitation doesn`t look like would happen until overnight Tuesday (Brush Country) or Wednesday over the forecast area with showers and thunderstorms from sfc trough and 500 mb trough moving through South Texas. The sfc trough continues over the region Thursday allowing for more scattered showers and thunderstorms. This pattern with the stalled sfc trough over the region allows for isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms through the weekend. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 555 PM CDT Sun Jul 7 2024 VFR conditions are currently prevailing across all terminals. However, that will quickly change for CRP/VCT as rainbands from Beryl spread inland this evening. Strong winds, heavy rain, and reduced visibilities are likely with any band that move through. Winds will gradually increase at CRP/VCT this evening into tonight. While chances are diminishing at CRP, we could still see a few gusts to tropical storm strength. VCT has greater chance for hurricane force conditions tonight. Conditions will improve through the day tomorrow as Beryl moves off to the north. Shower and storm activity will diminish at VCT around mid day. Currently only have a mention of VCTS at ALI as the greatest impacts look to stay east of the terminal. A southerly flow returns late in this TAF cycle. COT/LRD - VFR conditions and winds less than 12 knots prevail && .MARINE... Issued at 431 PM CDT Sun Jul 7 2024 Tropical storm Beryl continues to produce tropical storm conditions over the waters. The storm is slowly deepening, so winds are expected increase this evening into tonight. Hurricane conditions are expected tonight into early Monday with wave heights up to 17 to 22 feet. Gradually improving conditions can be expected by mid-week. Expect widespread showers and thunderstorms through Monday, with scattered thunderstorms lingering through the end of the week. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
