Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Brownsville TX
406 AM CDT Fri Sep 8 2017

.SHORT TERM (Today through Saturday): Satellite and radar images
continue to show a band of convection offshore the extreme northeast
Mexican coast extending northward into the offshore waters of the
lower Texas coast early this morning. Low to mid level easterly
winds across the northwest Gulf of Mexico between a 500mb ridge
across Texas and Hurricane Katia across the southwest Gulf of Mexico
will continue to bring a surge of higher precipitable water values
westward into northeast Mexico and the lower Rio Grande valley
today. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will develop and
move across the southern and eastern portions of the CWA today as
low to mid level moisture continues to increase farther westward
this afternoon. Moisture will remain high across northeast Mexico
and deep south TX tonight into Saturday before drier air to the
northeast of the area finally moves into the Rio Grande valley late
Saturday. Will mention scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms
across the southeast portions of the CWA tonight before the drier
air reaches the area Saturday. Temperatures will be lower today than
Saturday with the increase in cloud cover and rain chances.

.LONG TERM (Saturday Night through Thursday): By Saturday night,
the H5 ridge will be stable across Texas, Keeping drier airmass in
place. As Hurricane Irma draws northward into the Tennessee
Valley, it will nudge the ridge to the west slightly. This will
Enhance the northerly winds aloft across our area, keeping surface
ridging and drier airmass in place. Later next week, the broad sfc
ridge moves into the southeastern US, bringing a return of onshore
flow. There still won't be enough moisture for rain production,
but temperatures will begin to increase back above normal each
afternoon.

&&

.MARINE: Now through Saturday: Seas were near 6 feet with
northeast winds near 16 knots at buoy019 and near 5 feet with east
winds near 16 knots at buoy002 early this morning. Also...winds were
east near 16 knots at buoy045. Moderate to strong northeast winds
will prevail across the coastal waters today as the pressure
gradient remains strong across the western Gulf of Mexico this
afternoon with Hurricane Katia across the southwest Gulf of Mexico
and surface high pressure across the southeast and south-central
United States. Will extend SCA for the offshore waters and mention
SCEC for the Laguna Madre today. The pressure gradient will remain
strong across the lower Texas coast tonight before weakening on
Saturday as Katia makes landfall across the eastern Mexican coast
late tonight into early Sat morning. Moderate northeast winds will
prevail across the western Gulf of Mexico Saturday. Small craft
advisories will likely be extended for the offshore waters tonight
and may be needed for the offshore waters Saturday as seas remain
high.

Saturday night through Tuesday: Marine conditions remain
consistent through the extended, with northerly flow continuing at
10 to 15 knots each day. This will continue to agitate swells,
remaining around 4 to 5 feet throughout. The northerly flow will
also keep drier airmass in place, so no rainfall is expected
through the middle of next week.
