973 FXUS64 KBRO 132325 AAA AFDBRO Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Brownsville TX 625 PM CDT Sun Jul 13 2025 ...New AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1235 PM CDT Sun Jul 13 2025 Generally rain-free conditions, near to slightly above normal temperatures, and breezy afternoons will prevail through the week across Deep South Texas as the region remains under the influence of mid-level ridging aloft. Additionally, persistent low level southerly to southeasterly flow will maintain humid conditions each day as Gulf moisture is transported toward the region. In combination with afternoon temperatures in the mid to upper 90s, heat index values each afternoon will range from 100 to 110 degrees. An isolated shower or thunderstorm may develop along the sea breeze each afternoon on Monday and Tuesday, but increasing subsidence and the presence of slightly drier air by Wednesday should result in less favorable conditions heading into the end of the week and weekend. A moderate risk of rip currents will continue along the Lower Texas beaches over the next several days. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 616 PM CDT Sun Jul 13 2025 Breezy south-southeasterly winds are expected to wane down to a light to moderate breeze (around 08-12 knots) shortly after sunset this evening along with VFR conditions continuing at all terminals til about 06-08Z tonight. Overnight, enhanced lower level moisture is likely (60-70% chance) to result in MVFR ceilings at KMFE, while a moderate (40-50%) chance for periods of MVFR ceilings are possible at KHRL and KBRO, noted in the TEMPO`s. A brief period, or two, of IFR cloud heights is possible at KMFE towards sunrise. Conditions improve Monday morning back to VFR with south-southeasterly winds increasing back to similar speeds as today (15-20 knots gusting to 20-26 knots) at all sites. && .MARINE... Issued at 1235 PM CDT Sun Jul 13 2025 Light to moderate southeast winds and low to moderate seas will result in generally favorable marine conditions through the week. Brief Small Craft Exercise Caution conditions cannot be ruled out during the afternoon hours each day along the Laguna Madre due to a locally enhanced pressure gradient. Expect rain-free conditions through the end of the week. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
