101 FXUS64 KCRP 160755 AFDCRP Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 255 AM CDT Fri Aug 16 2024 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, MARINE... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Saturday) Issued at 224 AM CDT Fri Aug 16 2024 Key Messages: - Heat Advisory in effect from 1 PM through 7 PM for the Coastal Bend - Heat Advisory likely across the Coastal Bend and a chance for heat advisory across the Brush Country Saturday There are only so many ways for us to tell you that it will be hot. There is a moderate to extreme risk of heat-related impacts today and Saturday. Please continue to use caution if you are outside. Take steps to protect your pets and livestock by providing fresh, cool water and ample shade. There is a very low chance of showers along the afternoon seabreeze, but confidence remains too low to include any mention of this in the forecast grids. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday night through next Thursday) Issued at 224 AM CDT Fri Aug 16 2024 Key Message: -Moderate to Extreme Heat Stress conditions are expected to continue through next week The forecast is remaining on track from the previous issuance. Expect a 500mb high to dominate over the Rocky Mountain region during the period. This is expected to keep rain chances in check through the end of the week. High temperatures are expected to remain in the upper 90s to 105s through the period unfortunately. This is expected to combine with dew points around 80 degrees which will yield Moderate to Extreme Heat Stress conditions as heat indices surge to 110-114 degrees with isolated higher values possible. Models are still trying to depict a disturbance riding the periphery of the ridge around midweek to late week. This could combine with deep tropical moisture from the Gulf and allow for some showers and thunderstorms to creep into the area. Will still need to wait on more model runs though this will continue to be monitored. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1040 PM CDT Thu Aug 15 2024 Winds remain at moderate levels at LRD and COT, but will weaken over the next couple of hours. Light winds will then persist for all sites through the morning, with another increase expected in the afternoon. Mainly VFR conditions will persist, but could see brief MVFR VIS at ALI toward morning. && .MARINE... Issued at 224 AM CDT Fri Aug 16 2024 A weak to moderate south-southeasterly flow is expected to continue through early next week. Generally dry conditions will persist through early next week across most of the Middle Texas Coastal Waters. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
