003 FXUS64 KBRO 152225 AFDBRO Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Brownsville TX 525 PM CDT Wed Oct 15 2025 ...New AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1208 PM CDT Wed Oct 15 2025 Dry and unseasonably warm conditions are expected for Deep South Texas through the middle of next week, with precipitation chances below 10% expected for most days. A Pacific trough out to the west is expected to eject over the Southern Plains this weekend, which will bring a cold front towards our area around Sunday. While it is uncertain at this time, current guidance is showing that this cold front will stall north of Deep South Texas, bringing no relief for hot temperatures. However, if guidance changes and the front does make it all the way down to our region, we could see a slightly higher (20% or less) chance of precipitation Sunday due to frontal convergence. A gradual warming trend is expected to continue into next week as high pressure dominates the region and warmer, humid air is advected towards the ejecting trough. Highs are expected to be in the lower 90s tomorrow. They will then warm to the mid 90s by Saturday for the Lower Rio Grande Valley and the upper 90s for the Western Ranchlands. Moderate Heat Risk also returns for the weekend and continues through at least Tuesday as humidity levels rise. Lows will be in the upper 60s/lower 70s throughout the forecast period. Winds will be light to moderate, veering to a southeasterly direction by the weekend. If the front happens to make it all the way to Deep South Texas, the wind could shift to a north- northeasterly direction on Sunday. Skies are expected to remain mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Rip current risk is expected to increase this weekend into early next week. These rip currents could be life threatening, and swimmers will need to remain situationally aware and stay in shallow water if unsure. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 523 PM CDT Wed Oct 15 2025 Through 00z Friday....VFR conditions are expected to prevail through the 00z TAF cycle with diurnal driven clouds increasing in coverage during the day and fading towards evening/night. Northeast winds with speeds between 5-10 kts are expected to continue through much of the TAF period. Winds will trend towards light and variable to calm towards night. && .MARINE... Issued at 1208 PM CDT Wed Oct 15 2025 Conditions should be favorable through next week with light to moderate easterly to southeasterly winds and seas between 2-4 feet. A cold front is expected to approach the area on Sunday, which could tighten the pressure gradient and increase coastal wind speeds. Current guidance is showing that the front is expected to stall north of our area, but this could still bring a slightly increased chance (up to 20%) of coastal showers on Sunday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
