.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1010 PM CDT Thu Oct 16 2025

A quiescent weather pattern is expected to prevail through the
forecast period or through next Friday. Computer models continue
to indicate a couple of cool fronts and associated 1020 mb sfc
high pressure system from the Pac NW and Rockies pushing through
much if not all of the state of Texas, including potentially here
in Deep South Texas this weekend through the middle parts of next
week.

Consensus amongst forecast guidances continue to suggest that the
first cool front will push through the forecast area on Sunday.
Given the lack of snowpack over the Northwest U.S. and Canada,
where it originates, a notable airmass change is not anticipated.
A second cool front is expected to push through the state of Texas
on Tuesday, before potentially slowing/stalling over or nearby
Deep South Texas Tuesday night into Wednesday. The cool front is
then progged to potentially hang around South Texas as a quasi-
stationary front Wednesday through Thursday.

That said, an anomalously strong 588-591 dam heat ridge is expected
to drive warmer than normal temperatures through next Friday. Daily
daytime highs are expected to be in the 90s with 60s/70s for
nighttime lows.

Finally, there is a moderate risk for rip currents expected to
develop Friday and persist through Friday night.
