.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1025 PM CDT Wed Oct 15 2025

Benign, mainly rain-free weather conditions are expected to
prevail through the forecast period or through Thursday of next
week. A couple of cool fronts and ~1020 hpa highs will approach
Deep South Texas this weekend through the middle parts of next
week.

The first cool front has a chance to push through the forecast
area on Sunday. A notable airmass change is not expected, though
there could be some drier air filtering into the area at times.
The second cool front will push through the Pac NW and Rockies
before advancing through much of the state of Texas on Tuesday,
potentially stalling nearby South/Deep South Texas on Tuesday
night-Wednesday.

Forecast models are indicating rain chances picking up over Deep
South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley Wednesday and Thursday in
response to that nearby frontal boundary. Currently, we have low
(20%) chances for rain showers Wednesday and Thursday across Deep
South Texas (inland) with 20-30% chances over the Gulf Waters
(Tuesday night through Thursday night).

An anomalously strong 588-591 dam heat ridge is expected to drive
our weather pattern through next Thursday. This will help to keep
temperatures warmer than normal through the forecast period with
daytime highs mainly in the 90s and nighttime lows in the mid 60s
across the Northern Ranchlands and the lower to mid 70s elsewhere.
