303 FXUS64 KBRO 020534 AAA AFDBRO Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Brownsville TX 1234 AM CDT Sat Aug 2 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1233 AM CDT Sat Aug 2 2025 * Hot conditions continue into next week. Heat indices could reach between 110-115 at times along the coastal counties. * Low (10-20%) chance of showers and thunderstorms east of US-281 on Tuesday. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1026 PM CDT Fri Aug 1 2025 Mid-level ridging sets up over the Desert Southwest/Four Corners into next week. This will maintain hot conditions across Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley. Temperatures will top out each afternoon in the upper 90s to low 100s with heat indices between 105 and 115 degrees each day with the highest heat indices will be across the inland coastal counties. For Saturday, conditions look be be just shy of Heat Advisory conditions, so an SPS for heat indices of 105-110 should suffice, though some areas could see heat indices exceeding 111 degrees briefly. Will continue to watch in the case we need to upgrade to a Heat Advisory. Conditions look to stay just below Heat Advisory criteria through the remainder of the forecast, but will continue to monitor. Heat risk will reach Major (level 3 out of 4) for portions of the Rio Grande Valley Saturday through Monday, with Moderate (level 2 out of 4) for the remainder of next week. Mostly dry conditions will continue through the forecast period, though on Tuesday a boundary moving off the central/western Gulf coast could lead to showers and thunderstorms mainly east of US-281. Chances of rain are 10-20% for Tuesday. Otherwise, could see a stray sea breeze shower each afternoon but chances remain under 10%. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1233 AM CDT Sat Aug 2 2025 Mostly clear skies and light winds prevail across Deep South Texas early this morning. Light southeast winds overnight will increase and become moderate later this morning into the afternoon. VFR conditions are expected for the next 24 hours. && .MARINE... Issued at 1026 PM CDT Fri Aug 1 2025 Generally favorable marine conditions will prevail on the waters off the lower Texas coast. Wave heights will remain at 1 to 2 feet with 3 to 5 second periods. Could see some periodic showers and thunderstorms which could lead to localized areas of elevated winds and seas.
