835 FXUS64 KBRO 011057 AAA AFDBRO Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Brownsville TX 557 AM CDT Tue Jul 1 2025 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Tuesday through Wednesday night) Issued at 1020 PM CDT Mon Jun 30 2025 Wet, unsettled conditions continue through the short term. Today, showers are likely (60-80%) with a chance of thunderstorms as moisture continues to surge north into Deep South Texas. The chance for showers decreases to low (20-30%) overnight and through Wednesday. PWAT values of 2.09" from the 00Z sounding indicate plenty of moisture available and may allow for heavy rain rates, which will lead to ponding on roads and poor drainage areas. Moisture/PW will remain greater than the 90th percentile of climatology for the short term. Within thunderstorms, possible hazards include wind gusts up to 40 mph, heavy rainfall, and lightning. High temperatures below normal with highs in the 80s today and up to low 90s Wednesday. The anomalously high moisture leaves apparent temperatures in the 90s to around 100 by midweek. Seasonable low temperatures in the 70s provide little relief. At the local beaches, increased wave heights maintains a Moderate Risk of rip currents. && .LONG TERM...
