.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1014 PM CDT Fri Jul 11 2025

An area of high pressure off the West Coast and another area of high
pressure over the Eastern Gulf will lock a mid-level disturbance
over Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley for the next several
days. A low-level jet is expected to possibly mix down through the
weekend, which in turn produce more gusty winds. However, the winds
are currently expected to below Wind Advisory criteria.

Even through there is a mid-level disturbance over the region, the
chances of rain remain low (less than 20%) for the forecast period.
This does not mean that a rogue shower or thunderstorm cannot be
ruled out. Once the mid-level disturbance does finally move out of
the region next week, chances of rain will further decrease to less
than 10%. High pressure over the Gulf will continue into the middle
of next week, maintaining the mostly dry conditions for the area.

As for temperatures, the low temperatures are generally expected to
be in the 70s for most of Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande
Valley. However a few locations for the extreme Southern parts of
the CWA could approach the 80s. The high temperatures are expected
to generally be in the 90s, however a few places in Starr and Zapata
counties could be in the triple digits. The heat risk for the
forecast period will mostly be moderate (level 2 of 4) for the
region. The heat indices are expected to be in the range of 105-108
and thus below Heat Advisory criteria.

Increasing swell affecting the Lower Texas coast will allow for
moderate risk of rip current for the next several days.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1014 PM CDT Fri Jul 11 2025

A low-level jet associated with a mid-level disturbance and a
thermal pressure gradient will allow for gusty winds to occur over
the Lower Texas coast. This will likely result in Small Craft
Exercise Caution conditions being needed for the Laguna Madre and
the Nearshore Gulf waters through the weekend. Outside of this,
gentle to moderate southeasterly winds and slight moderate seas are
expected for the next several days.
