.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.

the 00z TAF cycle with diurnal driven clouds increasing in

.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.
