Area Forecast Discussion . UPDATED National Weather Service Brownsville TX 646 PM CDT Tue Aug 11 2020

DISCUSSION. Updated for latest aviation discussion below.

AVIATION. Satellite images and surface observations indicate a few mid level clouds across the CWA early this evening. Expect VFR conditions across the Rio Grande Valley tonight into early Wednesday morning as the 500mb subtropical ridge across west Texas continues to provide subsidence across south Texas.

PREV DISCUSSION. /issued 226 PM CDT Tue Aug 11 2020/ SHORT TERM (Tonight through Wednesday Night): Mid-level high pressure continues to build across West Texas, with little change expected to the forecast. Models continue to trend towards drier conditions into midweek decreasing chances for any shower or thunderstorm activity. With higher PWATS on todays 12z sounding, a slight increase in mid-level moisture compared to previous model runs and light to moderate southeasterly flow we will keep a small chance of sea breeze showers and thunderstorms in the forecast through sunset. Tonight into Wednesday night slight drying of the mid and low levels should help to suppress any shower of thunderstorm activity across the CWA. Temperatures will remain seasonal with heat indices of 100 to 105 degrees.

LONG TERM (Thursday through Tuesday): With the 500 mb ridge in control across the Desert Southwest and into Texas, expect for continued hot conditions with near average temperatures for the middle of August and mainly rain free conditions through the remainder of the workweek. Moisture and rain chances climb this upcoming weekend as a mid-level inverted trough approaches the Mexico coast. Rain chances then linger for the beginning of next week, which could be further aided by a disturbance and frontal system rotating around the ridge across portions of Texas to our north. Temperatures will continue to run near or slightly below average this weekend and into next week.

MARINE (Now through Wednesday night): A surface high in the northern Gulf along with low pressure over west Texas will continue to bring in light to moderate southeasterly winds and low to moderate seas through the time frame. During the overnight and early morning hours we could continue to see a slight chance of showers and a thunderstorms develop which may briefly lead to locally higher seas and gusty winds.

Thursday through Sunday night: Continued surface high pressure over the Gulf of MExico will result in fair to favorable marine conditions through Sunday night with light to moderate onshore winds and generally low seas. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms may be possible this weekend and could briefly result in locally higher seas and/or gusty winds.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
