What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood watch went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Brownsville, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood watch went out at Sep 8, 12:56 PM CDT, 2 hours 18 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 8, 12:56 PM CDT, 2 hours 18 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Brownsville TX 1256 PM CDT Sat Sep 8 2018 .DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION...A coastal seabreeze is trying to develop along the coast this afternoon, but shower coverage is struggling and has been very isolated. This will continue through the afternoon with a few showers possible across the RGV until sunset. Model guidance is hinting at possible low ceilings and visibilities late tonight and Sunday morning, but will maintain VFR conditions for now. In addition, an approaching weak front is moving slowly into South-Central Texas and may help initiate overnight convection in the upper RGV near Zapata to Jim Hogg counties. There is a very low possibility that showers or storms will make it into the MFE area, but conditions will be monitored tonight and updated, if necessary. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 651 AM CDT Sat Sep 8 2018/ DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below. AVIATION...The latest KBRO reflectivity indicates that some isold marine conv has developed over the lower TX Gulf waters. Expect MVFR/VFR ceilings to prevail today this morning as IR satl imagery shows the lower RGV remaining generally cld free at this moment. Daytime heating and local sea breeze effects may help fire off some additional conv later in the day Sat possibly reducing the vsbys/ceilings briefly down to MVFR/IFR levels later where any of the isold conv moves directly over one of the RGV airports. Short term guidance keeps the conv potential fairly low today with the conv potential increasing more on Sun/Sun Night degrading the aviation conditions. Will handle the potential afternoon conv with VCSH wording. PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 430 AM CDT Sat Sep 8 2018/ SHORT TERM (Now through Sunday): The main forecast issue throughout the short term period will be the increasing potential for conv and hvy rainfall across Deep South TX and the RGV. A broad and deep 500 mb trough axis will dig steadily east and southeast across TX moving into the western portions of the state today, eventually pushing towards the TX coastline late Sat Night into Sun. The slow but steady approach of this trough axis will in turn push a quasi- stationary front towards the TX coastline throughout the weekend. This surface boundary will also provide additional surface convergence across south TX which will in turn help enhance the conv and hvy rainfall potential over the area. The 00z BRO sounding from last night was somewhat dry in comparison to previous runs with a PWAT of only 1.8 inches. The approach of the 500 mb trough axis is expected to help advect in deeper tropical moisture values from the west and south starting later today with the deeper tropical moisture levels steadily increasing through Sun. The GFS and ECMWF pops are in pretty good agreement through Sun with both model steadily increasing the conv chcs across the region from west to east through the period. The NAM is the drier outlier this morning especially over the western counties where the ECMWF and GFS continue to steadily ramp up the rain chcs. Will go closer to a blend of the wetter ECMWF and GFS numbers through Sun. The increasing pops will tend to hold down the temps especially heading into Sunday. Will go with a blend of the GFS and ECMWF MOS numbers for highs and lows. Although the concern for heavy rainfall will be on the increase this weekend, it may be a bit early to go with a Flash Flood Watch at this time. Since most of Deep South TX is classified as D0 to D3 in the Drought Monitor, the ground should absorb much of the initial rainfall pretty quickly. So will hold off on issuing an FFA for now and will revisit this issue later today and tonight. WPC QPF estimates indicate a 2 to 3 inch max total centered over much of Zapata, Jim Hogg and Starr Counties through early Mon morning with amounts from 1 to 2 inches mainly across the mid Valley and the lower TX Coastal Counties. LONG TERM (Sunday Night through Friday): The main concern in the long term will be the potential for locally heavy rainfall across portions of deep south Texas Sunday night through Tuesday. The models are in fairly good agreement with overall weather pattern much of the forecast period. The combination of deep tropical moisture, the mid to upper trough and a slow moving frontal boundary will support high chances of rain Sunday night through Tuesday. Ongoing widespread showers and thunderstorms across the western Ranchlands Sunday night are expected to drift southeast and move across the entire CWA through Monday. Stronger or slower moving thunderstorms may produce locally heavy rainfall, leading to mainly nuisance type flooding in poorly draining and low lying areas. WPC has much of deep south Texas under a slight risk for excessive rain Sunday night and a marginal risk of excessive rain for most of the CWA Monday and Monday night. The 500 mb trough lifts out by mid week but a mid level weakness will remain over the western Gulf of Mexico through late week. Unsettled weather will continue through the period as moisture lingers across the region. Temperatures will likely remain near or below normal Sunday night through Tuesday due to increase clouds and rain chances. Near to above normal temperatures are expected mid to late week as rain chances gradually lower. MARINE (Now through Sunday): The current surface obs and buoy data from across the Laguna Madre and the offshore Gulf waters indicates fairly light SE winds and low seas continue early this morning. The PGF is expected to remain pretty weak across the region throughout the weekend as broad and weak surface ridging prevails over the Gulf of Mex. This will maintain pretty benign conditions across the lower TX marine locations through Sun. No SCEC/SCA conditions expected at this time. However, any of the stronger conv that forms up and moves over the Bay and Gulf Waters may produce localized stronger winds and rougher seas. Special Marine Warnings will be possible for any of the stronger conv that forms up. Sunday night through Wednesday night: A generally weak pressure gradient will continue through mid week which will maintain light to moderate winds and low seas. Abundant tropical moisture will lead to periodic showers and thunderstorms, with possible brief heavy down pours, strong, gusty winds, and isolated to occasional cloud to water lightning. No SCEC/SCA conditions expected through the period. && .BRO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... TX...None. GM...None. && This product is also available on the web at: HTTP://WEATHER.GOV/RGV Aviation...65
