981 FXUS64 KBRO 041117 AAB AFDBRO Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Brownsville TX 617 AM CDT Mon Aug 4 2025 ...New AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1020 PM CDT Sun Aug 3 2025 High pressure over the desert SW will continue to build through the week, maintaining hot and dry conditions in deep South Texas. A relatively dry atmosphere behind a weak boundary passage on Sunday will keep apparent temperatures early this week suppressed, but don`t get your hopes up for reprieve. Along and east of I-69C, apparent temperatures today and Tuesday around 110 degF leave a Moderate risk of heat- related impacts (level 2 of 4). As deeper layer moisture returns midweek, apparent temperatures climb to 105-115, with highest temperatures expected in the aforementioned corridor, bringing a Major risk (level 3 of 4) of heat related impacts. This may require issuance of Special Weather Statements as apparent temperatures climb to 105-110 degF each day, especially today and in the latter half of the week. Heat Advisory conditions may be met in the latter half of the week; this will continue to be monitored. Despite mostly dry conditions, isolated showers/thunderstorms may form along the seabreeze each afternoon through midweek (<30%). Afternoon CAPE values of 2000+ J/kg are difficult to realize with little upper-level support; a shortwave disturbance in the mid- layers Tuesday allow the greatest chance (30% in counties along the Gulf) for initiation along the sea breeze in the afternoon, but severe or any showers beyond that have little support. In all; hot, dry conditions and breezy afternoons continue. At lower Texas beaches, there is a low risk of rip currents. && .AVIATION...

Issued at 1020 PM CDT Sun Aug 3 2025 Slight seas and gentle to moderate southeasterly winds bringing favorable marine conditions will prevail through the period. Small Craft Exercise Caution conditions are possible on the Laguna Madre during the afternoons with thermally induced winds.
