726 FXUS64 KBRO 232327 AFDBRO Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Brownsville TX 627 PM CDT Mon Jun 23 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1245 PM CDT Mon Jun 23 2025 - Daily low to medium (20-40%) precipitation chances continue through most of the week, mainly along and east of US-281. - Minor heat risk through the end of the week. - There is a Moderate Risk of Rip Currents through tomorrow. && .SHORT TERM... (This Afternoon through Tuesday night) Issued at 1245 PM CDT Mon Jun 23 2025 The latest radar and satellite imagery reveals rain-free conditions across Deep South Texas as of the time of this writing, although there has been an uptick in diurnally-driven cumulus clouds as daytime heating occurs. Similar to previous days, isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms should develop later this afternoon as daytime heating is maximized, with any activity that develops being capable of wind gusts to 40 MPH, locally heavy rainfall, and lightning. Otherwise, rain-free conditions return tonight with the loss of daytime heating, with lows falling into the low to mid 70s. Some patchy fog may develop late tonight into early tomorrow morning. Expect a similar pattern on Tuesday, with low to medium (20-40%) precipitation chances beginning late Tuesday morning into the late afternoon hours. High temperatures this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon will be near normal for mid to late June with heat index values ranging from 100-105 degrees. Along the Lower Texas beaches, a moderate risk of rip currents continues through tomorrow. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through next Monday) Issued at 1245 PM CDT Mon Jun 23 2025 There will be continued daily low to medium (20-40%) precipitation chances across Deep South Texas as the region remains along the far southwestern periphery of mid-level ridging centered over the eastern US. Persistent low level easterly to southeasterly flow will continue to advect Gulf moisture toward the region, and will interact each day with diurnal heating, as well as weak embedded impulses translating beneath the ridge. It is difficult to pinpoint the exact locations that will receive any showers or thunderstorms each day and will be dependent on where the highest moisture content will reside, but most activity will be short- lived with primary impacts being gusty winds to 40 MPH, locally heavy rain, and lightning. Otherwise, expect near normal temperatures to continue through the weekend with heat index values ranging from 100-108 degrees each afternoon. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 621 PM CDT Mon Jun 23 2025 Key Aviation IDSS Message: * Showers and thunderstorms are possible on Tuesday, which could briefly reduce cigs/vsbys to MVFR-IFR levels and change wind speeds/direction. Through 00z Wednesday....VFR conditions are by and large expected to prevail through the 00z TAF cycle. VCSH trends will decrease through this evening with the loss of daytime heating. Diurnally driven showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop during the afternoon hours on Tuesday. Any showers or storms that develop or move over the terminals will have the capabilities of briefly reducing cigs/vsbys to MVFR-IFR levels. Breezy southeast winds 10-20 kts with gusts as high as 25 kts this evening are expected to decrease to speeds between 5-10 kts by tonight. Southeast winds 5-10 kts are expected to continue through the day on Tuesday. Any showers or thunderstorms that develop or track over the terminals on Tuesday will have the capabilities of creating variable winds with gusts between 35-40 kts. && .MARINE... Issued at 1245 PM CDT Mon Jun 23 2025 Generally favorable marine conditions will prevail with low to moderate seas and light to moderate winds. A locally enhanced pressure gradient may result in brief Small Craft Exercise Caution conditions along the Laguna Madre and nearshore Gulf waters each afternoon. Otherwise, daily isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue through the week over the Gulf waters and Laguna Madre. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
