425 FXUS64 KBRO 272315 AFDBRO Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Brownsville TX 615 PM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Saturday night) Issued at 1229 PM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025 As the heat ridge in the Eastern US continues to break down, seasonably warm and humid conditions are expected to continue in our area with little-to-no chance of precipitation tonight into tomorrow. Tomorrow night, there is a small chance of precipitation (around 30%) along the coast as a tropical disturbance expected to form in the Bay of Campeche moves closer to the Mexican coastline, bringing unsettled tropical moisture to our region. Skies are expected to start out partly cloudy tonight, but are expected to increase to mostly cloudy by tomorrow night. Low temperatures are expected to consistently remain in the mid 70s for both tonight and tomorrow night. Tomorrows high will get up into the mid 90s with heat indices in the mid-100s due to ongoing humidity. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through next Friday) Issued at 1229 PM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025 The National Hurricane Center currently indicates a tropical disturbance is expected to move from Belize into the Bay of Campeche tomorrow or tomorrow night. This could result in a small (10-20%) potential of an area of low pressure forming in the Bay over the next week. At this time, little to no impacts are expected in Deep South Texas, except for increased precipitation chances on Sunday and Monday due to the arrival of unsettled tropical moisture. Current guidance suggests a 50-60% chance of showers and thunderstorms east of I-69C (with the highest chances being closest to the coast), dropping off to 20-40% west of I-69C towards the Ranchlands. After Monday, precipitation chances are expected to continue to a lesser degree through Thursday throughout the Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas. Temperatures are also expected to slightly decrease to below average on Sunday and Monday, with highs getting into the upper 80s/lower 90s on these days. From there, temperatures are expected to warm back to seasonal levels by the end of the week. Low temperatures are also expected to gradually warm from the mid 70s to the upper 70s by the end of the week as well. Winds should be southeasterly and light to moderate throughout the week, with mostly cloudy skies. Humidity is expected to remain high, so heat index values ten or more degrees above the actual temperatures should be expected. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 603 PM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025 VFR conditions are expected to prevail throughout the 00Z TAF cycle with east-southeasterly winds (gusting to 20-25 knots) this evening gradually lightening throughout the remainder of this evening and into tonight. East-southeasterly winds pick back up to similar speeds as today, by Saturday afternoon, along with building clouds, though still anticipate VFR conditions to persist. && .MARINE... Issued at 1229 PM CDT Fri Jun 27 2025 Overall favorable marine conditions are expected throughout the week with low to moderate winds and low wave heights. A tropical disturbance is expected to move into the Bay of Campeche, but at this time, impacts to our area are expected to be minimal. If the disturbance does end up developing into an area of low pressure (the chances of this development are low at this time), it could potentially increase our wave heights by a foot or two. Winds are expected to continue to be southeasterly throughout the week. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
