Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Brownsville TX
627 AM CDT Sun Apr 6 2025

...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Monday)
Issued at 346 AM CDT Sun Apr 6 2025

The most recent surface analysis indicated a cold front over the
western Gulf of America and completely through the BRO CWFA. Dry
weather will occur across Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande
Valley in the wake of the front and its parent 500 mb low moving
in tandem farther east, which will produce a nearly zonal mid-
level flow overhead.

Temperature-wise, refreshing well below normal daytime highs and
overnight lows are forecast, which will be a nice break from the
recent Summer-like temperatures despite the recent beginning of
Spring.

Finally, a High Surf Advisory remains in effect for the local
beaches today due to elevated seas along the Lower Texas Coast, with
a High Risk of rip currents also in effect until around sunset
Monday.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through Saturday)
Issued at 346 AM CDT Sun Apr 6 2025

Mostly clear skies and light winds are expected Monday night as
surface high pressure settles across the Deep South Texas. Good
radiational cooling should allow low temperatures to fall into the
40s across much of the region Monday night, except for the 50s
near the coast. Tuesday will be warm with highs in the low to mid
80s, except for the 70 near the coast. Overnight lows are expected
to remain near to slightly below normal through the week. Daytime
high temperatures will gradually warm each day. Dry weather is
also anticipated with no chance of rain. Breezy looks to be breezy
as the pressure gradient increases. Another cold front or surge
of high pressure arrives Friday.

period of 7 seconds at 2:20 CDT/7:20 UTC. Small Craft Advisory

conditions will be possible over the Gulf Waters Monday evening due
to lingering elevated seas. Otherwise, favorable conditions will
prevail along the Lower Texas Coast through much of the period.
