GMZ100 Synopsis For Baffin Bay To Rio Grande Out 60 Nm- 411 Pm Cdt Thu Jul 29 2021
Synopsis..A weak upper level low pressure trough will provide sufficient moisture to maintain scattered to locally numerous mainly late night through early afternoon showers and Thunderstorms across the gulf waters Friday and Saturday. Outside of these times, light winds and slight seas will prevail. For Sunday through Tuesday, broad high pressure across the gulf with weak low pressure across the lee of the sierra madre will maintain light to moderate southeast flow and a slight increase in seas, with just a stray late night or morning shower or Thunderstorm.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Brownsville TX 220 PM CDT Thu Jul 29 2021
.SHORT TERM (Now through Friday Night): The center of a mid-level ridge will remain parked over the Kansas area in the short term. As well, broad high pressure will reside over the Gulf, but summertime instability will keep the Gulf cauldron bubbling with showers and thunderstorms in the short term. Weak coastal convergence/troughing is forecast to set up over the extreme Northwest Coast of Mexico and into the CWA, and will help keep nearby moisture focused, bolstering convective chances to scattered on the Gulf through Friday. Some of these could reach the immediate coastal zones. In addition, forecast PWAT inland will drift up to around two inches on Friday, suggesting or supporting scattered showers and thunderstorms for eastern areas. The elevated PWAT could support locally heavy rain amounts at times. Though general thunderstorms will continue through the short term, WPC does not currently have the CWA in any excessive rainfall zone.
Otherwise, light winds, mostly clear skies, and elevated dew points overnight will lead to some fog across inland areas, but guidance is not overly bullish for the lower Valley. Nonetheless, HRL and mid- valley points will likely see brief, locally dense fog Friday morning which could impact the morning commute from just before dawn to sunrise and subsequent burn off. Model guidance suggests slightly warmer overnight temperatures Friday night and therefore a little weaker signal for fog. Did not paint it into the grids for Friday night at this point.
Temperatures look like they will mainly in the 90s during the day, close to normal, and well into the 70s at night, slightly above normal. Friday high temperatures will be around the century mark for northwest sections. This will generate heat index values from 103 to 108 degrees.
.LONG TERM (Saturday through Thursday): 500mb ridging setup over the Rockies and High Plains regions will favor overall quiet weather across the CWA. Troughing across the eastern Pacific and also across the eastern United States will keep the ridge fairly stationary with both trough axes remaining far enough away to not have much influence over our area through next week. The passage of a weak inverted trough may lead to some widely scattered showers and thunderstorms on Saturday, but mostly dry conditions can be expected for most. Dew points will remain fairly high as temperatures also increase this weekend, with heat indices routinely topping out between 105-110 degrees for much of the CWA through next week. The usual hot spots in Starr and Zapata counties, as well as Kenedy County at times, may see Heat Advisory conditions occur.
By Tuesday, a stronger midlevel longwave trough will begin to dig in across the central and eastern United States and allow for the 500mb ridge to slowly break down. A cold front will be slowly traversing the interior United States from north to south as the ridge breaks down, eventually stalling across central Texas by Tuesday afternoon or evening. Exactly how far south the front drops before stalling remains a key part of, as well as source of uncertainty for next week’s forecast. While the front is not necessarily expected to plunge through south Texas, the increasing lift and additional moisture flow ahead of it may allow for some increased rain chances during the middle of next week. Details will be refined as the event approaches.
.MARINE (Now through Friday Night): Mainly light southeast to south winds and low seas will prevail in the short term. The main issue for mariners will be showers and thunderstorms in the area. Gulf instability will continue, and weak coastal troughing will develop from the northwest Mexican Coast into the local waters. Scattered showers and tstms will cover the marine zones through Friday, but will diminish Friday night.
Saturday through Tuesday: Aside from some scattered showers and thunderstorms on Saturday, generally favorable marine conditions will occur through early next week. Broad high pressure over the central and eastern Gulf persists through the period. A generally weak pressure gradient also remains in place, maintaining light to moderate southeast winds as well as fairly low wave heights through Tuesday. Winds may barely reach into SCEC criteria late in the period as a cold front approaches the northern Gulf, with little change in wave heights expected.
