Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service BROWNSVILLE TX
514 AM CST Sat Nov 19 2016

.DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below.

&&

.AVIATION...A few lingering mid level clouds persist in the
aftermath of a cold frontal passage last night. Otherwise, will
see moderate and gusty north winds much of the day as skies
continue to clear. VFR TAFs.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 411 AM CST Sat Nov 19 2016/

SHORT TERM (Today through Sunday): Drier and cooler conditions will
dominate the weather over the next 36 hours in the wake of a cold
front. Skies will clear quickly today, with moderate north winds and
high temperatures in the 60s. Clear skies with light north winds
will prevail tonight, with low temps mainly in the 40s, except for
50s right along the coast. It will be sunny and warmer on Sunday
with high temperatures in the upper 60s to lower 70s, with light
north winds shifting to east late in the day as high pressure shifts
to the east.

LONG TERM (Sunday Night through Friday): The main event in the
long term portion of the forecast will be the passage of another
cold front through Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley
Tuesday night through Wednesday morning, and the subsequent return
of that boundary north as a warm front on Friday. Isolated to
scattered showers and thunderstorms are forecast for all or
portions of the BRO CWFA from Tuesday through Wednesday and again
on Friday. Otherwise, the remainder of the forecast will be dry.
Rapidly moderating and warming temperatures early in the long term
forecast period will be tempered to more near normal values by the
cold front passage.

MARINE (Today through Sunday): Strong north winds and high seas are
ongoing behind a cold front now south of the area. Kept the gale
warning through the next CWF issuance even though it looks
marginal right now. Small craft advisory conditions will need to
be extended through the day and into tonight. Winds will veer to
east Sunday as high pressure shifts east.

Sunday Night through Friday: Generally moderate winds and seas are
expected along the Lower Texas Coast during the period due to an
enhanced pressure gradient and the passage of a cold front. Small
Craft Exercise Caution and Small Craft Advisory are likely to be
needed for much of the period, with the most adverse conditions
anticipated Tuesday, Tuesday night, and Wednesday.
