040 FXUS64 KBRO 262313 AAA AFDBRO Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Brownsville TX 613 PM CDT Sat Jul 26 2025 ...New AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1230 PM CDT Sat Jul 26 2025 Unsettled weather will continue through the weekend as the region remains under the influence of a mid level trough/low. The 12Z BRO upper air sounding observed a precipitable water value of 2.23 inches, which is above the 90th percentile for July 26th. The combination of high moisture content, diurnal instability, and weak forcing for ascent will continue to allow for isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop through tomorrow evening. While severe weather is not expected, anyone spending time outdoors should keep an eye on the weather as lightning is a threat with all thunderstorms. The main threats with any showers or thunderstorms will be brief, locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds to around 20-40 MPH. Otherwise, the increase in cloud cover should result in high temperatures closer or slightly below seasonal normals for late July. Generally rain-free conditions and near to slightly above normal temperatures will return by Monday and persist through much of next week. In combination with the humidity, heat index values will range from around 100-110 degrees each afternoon. Expect a minor (level 1 of 4) to moderate (level 2 of 4) heat risk to continue across Deep South Texas. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 601 PM CDT Sat Jul 26 2025 Scattered to broken VFR conditions are expected to prevail through the 00Z TAF cycle across all sites, with breezy southeasterly winds gradually lessening beyond sunset this evening. Overnight, there is a low to medium (20-40%) chance of brief intervals of MVFR ceilings, followed by the potential for MVFR ceilings and/or reduced visibility from heavy rain and gusty winds within quick- hitting thunderstorms throughout Sunday morning and afternoon hours. The best chances for convection on Sunday exists for KHRL and KBRO, however confidence is low (20% chance) and a stray shower or thunderstorm at KMFE can not be ruled out. Southeasterly winds pick back up by late Sunday morning, possibly to 10-15 knots with gusts to 20-25 knots. && .MARINE... Issued at 1230 PM CDT Sat Jul 26 2025 Generally favorable marine conditions will prevail with low to moderate seas and light to moderate southeasterly to southerly winds. Low to medium (20-40%) precipitation chances continue through Sunday, with rain-free condition expected to return on Monday and prevail through much of next week. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
