881 FXUS64 KBRO 240532 AAA AFDBRO Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Brownsville TX 1232 AM CDT Sun Aug 24 2025 ...New AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1043 PM CDT Sat Aug 23 2025 An unsettled pattern will continue over Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley into the first part of the workweek as mid/upper level troughing continues. While some lingering showers are expected to occur over the region tonight, most likely this will be the extent of the activity for the overnight hours. Medium to high likelihood (60-80%) of rainfall is expected over the next couple of days. PWATs across Deep South Texas remain quite high at 2 to 2.25 inches which poses the concern for heavy rain leading to minor flooding, especially along roadways and low lying areas. The strongest storms will be capable of producing occasional to frequent cloud to ground lightning and gusty winds. Around round of possible strong thunderstorms with the seabreeze tomorrow cannot be ruled out. As the diurnal heating could produce enough instability to get some showers and thunderstorms going again. Rain chances will taper off through next week, though afternoon seabreeze activity will still be possible. Temperatures will remain in the mid to upper 90s through Monday with heat indices generally between 100 and 105 degrees each day. As we head into the middle of next week, temperatures begin to increase wit highs in the mid 90s to low 100s and heat indices generally between 105 and 110 degrees each day. A few locations, especially along an east of US-281/I-69C could see heat indices exceed 110 degrees briefly and while Heat Advisories may not be needed, Special Weather Statements may be needed. Heat risk will remain Low (level 1 our of 4) to Moderate (level 2 out of 4) throughout the forecast period. && .AVIATION...
