777 FXUS64 KBRO 042345 AAA AFDBRO Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Brownsville TX 645 PM CDT Fri Jul 4 2025 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Saturday night) Issued at 1217 PM CDT Fri Jul 4 2025 High pressure over the Gulf continues to maintain mostly dry conditions. There is a low chance of precip this evening into tonight in western counties (Zapata, Starr, Jim Hogg) as convection to the north brushes the CWA. A similarly low chance of precip on Saturday (<15%) for northwestern portions of the CWA. Breezy winds today and tomorrow along the coast and into mid-upper RGV with gusts up to 25 mph possible; no concern for wind advy, but important to keep in mind for Independence Day celebrations into this evening. Despite below average high temperatures in the low 90s, a Moderate Risk (Level 2 of 4) of heat-related impacts persists tomorrow as "feels like" temperatures climb into the triple digits, up to mid- 100s, primarily east of US Hwy 281. Lows overnight are seasonable in the mid to upper 70s. At local beaches, a Moderate Risk of rip currents is in place through at least Saturday morning with elevated winds and swell. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through next Friday) Issued at 1217 PM CDT Fri Jul 4 2025 High pressure building over the desert SW will allow for moisture to return into the region. There exists a chance each afternoon, especially early in the long term, for showers along the coast associated with the sea breeze. Come midweek, high pressure building over South Central TX will bring subsidence and leave little room for precip the remainder of the period. Subsidence and increased sunshine may the bring temperatures to or above normal, with at least a Minor Risk (Level 1 of 4) of heat related impacts expected through the long term. Highs in the 90s and lows in the mid-upper 70s will continue. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 628 PM CDT Fri Jul 4 2025 VFR conditions are expected to generally prevail through the TAF period with breezy southeasterly winds occasionally gusting towards 30 kts. Brief MVFR ceilings are possible late tonight, especially near BRO through just after sunrise. && .MARINE... Issued at 1217 PM CDT Fri Jul 4 2025 Tonight through next Friday...Gusty, moderate southeasterly winds are maintaining seas of 3-4 ft. Seas are expected to lessen overnight as winds lighten up, however, breezy (gusts around 20 kts) conditions return tomorrow. There is a low chance (10-20%) of showers in the northern Gulf waters tomorrow. Sunday, high pressure over the region settles in and allows for gentle to moderate southeasterly flow and slight seas. Low chance of precip returns early next week as an inverted trough approaches from the Gulf, but should be overtaken by high pressure over TX midweek. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
