Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Brownsville TX
1241 PM CDT Tue Aug 8 2017

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

&&

.AVIATION...Primary VFR conditions are noted through Deep South
Texas and in the vicinity of the three regional airports. Isolated
sea breeze showers or thunderstorms are noted and can be expected
from the issuance of the TAFs (18Z) spreading West through 21-23Z.
Additional convection could possibly develop farther north with
forecast movement to the South but probabilities are low if these
will impact the air terminals. Some showers also could approach
the Lower Coast and the Brownsville airport late tonight and
Wednesday morning in association with tropical moisture, possible
rain bands, from Tropical Storm Franklin in the Extreme Southern
Gulf of Mexico. Winds will be light outside of moderate east winds
behind this afternoon's sea breeze.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 623 AM CDT Tue Aug 8 2017/

DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below.

AVIATION...Mid to high level clouds and light winds prevail
across portions of deep south Texas this morning. Expect VFR
conditions to continue across the Rio Grande valley and northern
ranchlands for the next 24 hours. Isolated showers and
thunderstorms are possible today, but confidence is too low to
mention for the local airports. Southeast winds this morning
will gradually become east this afternoon.

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 415 AM CDT Tue Aug 8 2017/

SHORT TERM (Now through Wednesday): Latest water vapor imagery
shows a weak shortwave generating some convection over southeast
Texas early this morning. South and central Texas remains between a
500mb ridge over northern Mexico/southern Arizona and one over the
eastern Gulf of Mexico. A stationary front across central Texas is
expected to drift south today and tonight. The combination of
abundant moisture, additional outflow from convection from the north
and sea breeze should trigger some convection across Deep South Texas
today. Some of the rain could be heavy at times. Otherwise,
subsidence aloft will support very hot conditions across the area
for today and Wednesday. High temperatures this afternoon will climb
well into the 90s and lower 100's across much of the area. Elevated
dewpoints will support heat index values of 105 to 110 across
portions of the Rio Grande valley and northern ranchlands with
isolated heat index values of 111 to 114 this afternoon.

Warm and muggy conditions expected tonight with low temperatures
falling into the upper 70s to lower 80s. A few showers and
thunderstorms will be possible, especially across the northern
ranchlands, as the frontal boundary drifts near the area. Generally
rain-free conditions expected on Wednesday with the exception of a
few isolated seabreeze showers or thunderstorms. High temperatures
Wednesday will range from lower 90s near the coast to the low 100's
inland. Tropical moisture will begin to stream northward across the
western Gulf of Mexico by late Wednesday courtesy of Tropical
Cyclone Franklin. The National Hurricane Center continues to
indicate that Franklin will make landfall well to the south of the
Rio Grande Valley on the coast of mainland Mexico.

LONG TERM (Wednesday Night through Monday): The main story
continues to be whether or not the moisture flux from TS Franklin
will be widespread enough to overcome the dry subsident conditions
caused by the mid level subtropical ridge. Model guidance
suggests that this H5 high pressure system aloft will continue to
shift eastward rather over Central Texas and strengthen through
the end of the week. As a result of the dry descending air, it
will be difficult for deep layer moisture from TS Franklin to
surge into the RGV. The NHC's latest forecast track for Franklin
now have a slightly more southward shift into the track as it
become influenced by the high pressure and steered more directly
across the Bay of Campeche. Furthermore, Franklin is now
forecasted to reach hurricane strength and then weaken slightly
before landfall sometime Thursday morning. As such, the better
moisture will likely become more wrapped-up closer to the center
of the storm, again reducing the amount of moisture that reaches
the RGV. Given this, I have scaled back more on POPs although have
generally kept the same time frame for Wednesday night through
Thursday for the best chance at seeing some precip. Have reduced
rainfall probabilities on Friday to just slight chances as well,
given that the remnants of Franklin will be well inland across
Mexico. However, high confidence remains for the marine and
coastal impacts, with hazardous seas, high surf, high risk of rip
currents and some possible minor coastal flooding/beach erosion
all possible Wednesday through early Friday morning.

For the remainder of the long term period, the subtropical ridge
will generally be the dominate weather feature. Persistent dry air
and subsidence will continue over Deep South Texas and, other than
the potential for some isolated seabreeze convection on Saturday,
the forecast will likely remain rain free.

As far as temp go, highs could still be near or a little below
normal depending on rainfall/cloud cover Thursday, with values
already warming again by Friday. For Saturday and into the new
week, highs will once again warm back to above normal, with mid to
upper 90s expected near and along the coast to the triple digit
values across much of the Mid to Upper Valley. Heat Indices will
range from 105 to 110F each afternoon.

MARINE:

Now through Wednesday: Buoy 42020 reported south-southwest winds
around 8 knots with gusts near 10 knots and seas of 3.3 feet with
a period of 6 seconds at 03 CST/08 UTC. The gradient will continue
to relax along the lower Texas coast today and tonight as a
stationary front across central Texas drifts south. Moderate east
to southeast flow and low seas are expected today and tonight.
Marine conditions will slowly deteriorate across the lower Texas
Gulf waters on Wednesday as Tropical Storm Franklin emerges into
the Bay of Campeche and the extreme southern Gulf of Mexico. Small
craft advisories will likely to be issued Wednesday for the
anticipated higher swells. A few showers and thunderstorms will be
possible at times today through Wednesday.

Wednesday Night through Sunday: By Wednesday night TS (or possibly
hurricane) Franklin will be move westward across the Bay of
Campeche. The tropical cyclone is expected to make landfall
sometime early on Thursday. The pressure gradient is not expected
to strengthen with broad high pressure remaining over the Gulf
waters. Furthermore, the track of TS Franklin has now shifted
even more south. As such, mariners can expect persistent 10 to 15
knot easterly to southeasterly winds through Thursday night, with
winds lessening on Friday. Meanwhile, hazardous swells are still
anticipated with waves of 7 to 10 feet possible Wednesday through
Thursday night. Small craft advisories will likely be need for
the Gulf waters east of Padre Island during this time frame. TS
Franklin should be well inland across Mexico by Friday. More
moderate SE winds and seas are expected through the weekend.
