148 FXUS64 KBRO 072314 AAA AFDBRO Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Brownsville TX 614 PM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Wednesday) Issued at 1235 PM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 Low to medium precipitation chances (20-40%) will continue through Wednesday evening across Deep South Texas as an inverted trough interacts with high moisture content and diurnal instability. Isolated streamer showers may develop each morning, with showers and thunderstorms becoming more scattered during the afternoon hours with daytime heating. While severe weather is not expected, thunderstorms will be capable of gusty winds around 40 MPH and lightning. Additionally, robust showers and thunderstorms will be capable of pockets of locally heavy rainfall given precipitable water values are expected to increase to around 1.8-1.9 inches along and east of US-281. Otherwise, temperatures will remain near seasonal normals for early July across the region with highs mostly in the low to mid 90s. Heat index values in the triple digits are expected each afternoon. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday night through next Monday) Issued at 1235 PM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 Toward the end of the week and into the weekend, precipitation chances should come to an end as mid-level ridging builds overhead. While an isolated shower or thunderstorm along the sea breeze cannot be ruled out through the afternoon hours each day, chances are fairly low (10% or less) at this time. The heat will become the main weather story as temperatures gradually warm up with increasing subsidence and humidity remains elevated as low level southerly and southeasterly flow advects Gulf moisture toward Deep South Texas. Slightly above normal temperatures for early to mid July are expected into early next week, with highs in the mid to upper 90s and lows in the upper 70s to around 80 degrees. In combination with the humidity, heat index values each afternoon will range from 100-110 degrees. For anyone spending a prolonged period outdoors, remember to practice heat safety to prevent heat-related illnesses. Additionally, there are indications among guidance of a plume of Saharan dust reaching Deep South Texas by mid to late week, which may result in hazy skies and some reductions in air quality. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 607 PM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 MVFR to VFR will continue to be the rule at the aerodromes through the next 24 hours. Winds will diminish for the overnight hours before becoming moderate on Tuesday. The next TAF issuance later tonight may need to include a TEMPO for convection based on the HRRR model. && .MARINE... Issued at 1235 PM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 Generally favorable marine conditions will prevail through the period with low to moderate seas and light to moderate winds. There may be brief Small Craft Exercise Caution conditions during the afternoon hours due to a locally enhanced pressure gradient along the Laguna Madre and nearshore Gulf waters. Otherwise, there are low precipitation chances (20-40%) through Wednesday. Rain- free conditions are expected heading into early next week. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
