160 FXUS64 KBRO 100537 AAA AFDBRO Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Brownsville TX 1237 AM CDT Fri Oct 10 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1012 PM CDT Thu Oct 9 2025 * Isolated showers will persist through Friday morning as rain chances/trends continue to decrease. * Following a weak cool fropa, drier air and weather conditions return Friday evening and persist through next Friday. * Temperatures will continue to run slightly above normal levels through next Friday. * A High Risk for Rip Currents and a Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect till 7 AM CDT Friday. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1012 PM CDT Thu Oct 9 2025 Latest sfc analysis reveals a weak cool front over the Gulf Waters adjacent to the border of Kenedy County. Multiple clusters of showers were also taking place over the Gulf Waters with much of the activity well to our south over Northeastern Mexico. Through Friday morning, expect for isolated showers to be around with trends decreasing in time as the cool front continues to slowly shift southward through Deep South Texas and adjacent Gulf Waters. Drier air and weather conditions return Friday afternoon/evening following the cool fropa as mid-upper ridging builds over the region and sfc high pressure increases its influence over the area. Drier air and weather conditions are expected to then persist through the rest of the forecast period or through next Friday. East to northeast winds will continue breezy on Friday with speeds between 15-20 mph and gusts up to 30 mph, thanks to a continued enhanced pressure gradient from a broad and anomalously strong high pressure system over the Northeast U.S. With the normal high temperature at Brownsville/South Padre Island International Airport (KBRO), anomalies through next Friday will continue to run slightly warmer than normal levels. Overnight lows will be in the 60s and 70s through the forecast period. Finally, a Coastal Flood Advisory and a High Risk for Rip Currents are in effect till 7 AM CDT Friday morning based on observations seen from webcams along the South Padre Island beaches earlier and observations/forecasts from the SPI Brazos Santiago Station. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1229 AM CDT Fri Oct 10 2025 VFR conditions are expected to prevail for the 06Z TAF cycle. Showers and thunderstorms traveling westward are popping up over the Gulf, and are expected to move inland through the morning. Low confidence in exact timing of any showers over a specific site, however, most likely timing of impacts are denoted by PROB30s (BRO/HRL between 10Z to 17Z, MFE 14Z to 20Z). Some hi-res guidance suggests showers will continue through the afternoon (to 00Z). Any shower or storm that passes over an airfield has potential to bring gusty winds, lightning, and heavy rain reducing visibility. && .MARINE... Issued at 1012 PM CDT Thu Oct 9 2025 An enhanced pressure gradient from a broad and strong sfc high pressure system over the Northeast U.S. will continue to result in elevated east-northeast winds and seas with wave heights between 3-6 feet (SCEC conditions) through Friday evening. Marine conditions will begin to improve over the weekend as winds relax resulting in wave heights between 2-4 feet. Favorable marine conditions will continue through next week with wave heights between 2-4 feet on light to moderate east-southeast winds. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
