...THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 300 AM CDT FOR
SOUTHEASTERN HIDALGO...NORTHWESTERN CAMERON AND SOUTHWESTERN WILLACY
COUNTIES...

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as
well as other drainage areas and low lying spots.

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams, country roads, farmland, and other low lying
spots.

Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Brownsville TX
854 PM CDT Mon Jun 24 2019

.DISCUSSION...The MCV continues to spin across the mid Valley
late this evening. Brownsville radar indicates heavy rainfall
persisting across portions of Willacy, Hidalgo, and Cameron
counties. Made a quick update to bump up POPs and QPF values
across that area through midnight. Showers and thunderstorms are
expected to drift south of the Rio Grande Valley around midnight.
No other changes are needed at this time.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 636 PM CDT Mon Jun 24 2019/

DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below.

AVIATION...Brownsville radar continues to indicate a line of
convection north of the local aerodromes. These showers and
thunderstorms are expected to move south across the Rio Grande
Valley through the late evening hours. Will continue to mention
MVFR to periodic IFR conditions this evening with a brief period
of VFR conditions possible by late evening. VCSH/VCTS and MVFR
conditions as the potential for periods of convection will likely
persist throughout the overnight and early morning hours. This is
due to a 500 mb trough moving over the region from the west
maintaining the convection chance across the Rio Grande Valley.

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 437 PM CDT Mon Jun 24 2019/

SHORT TERM (Tonight through Tuesday Night): The latest BRO/CRP
radar imagery shows that the conv boundary to our north is
persisting, but is slowing down a bit in forward speed. The
overall trend of this boundary will likely determine the conv
potential across Deep South TX and the RGV into the evening and
overnight hours. LAPS CAPE values remain in the 4000 to 5300 J/KG
range mainly along and east of the Intestate 69C corridor. The
current convection looks to be firing near this max CAPE values as
the boundary continues moving south. The ARW short term guidance
appears to be handling this conv the best of the CAMS guidance.
The ARW shows this conv boundary sagging steadily southwards this
evening and tonight eventually pushing the activity closer to the
Rio Grande. This looks reasonable and will go close to this
guidance for conv trends over the next 6 to 12 hours.

Assuming that the conv complex pushes to the west and south of the
Rio Grande later tonight, we may get a lull in the activity as
outflow from the conv stabilizes the atms.

The conv potential may persist into Tues for the region as a 500
mb trough axis develops/moves into the region from the west. So
will maintain chc pops into Tues with decent QPF with the pops
trending down into Tues Night.

The increasing pops/cld cover and the conv outflow will likely
start lowering the temps through tomorrow night. Fortunately, this
will likely limit the heat index values for tomorrow afternoon.
Will allow the Heat Advisory to expire at 7 pm this evening.

LONG TERM (Wednesday through Monday): Finally, the pattern
begins to change in the long term as high pressure builds west of
the region by midweek. This will allow for a fairly benign upper
level pattern to set up, at least initially. At the surface, high
pressure will be in control of our weather here in Deep South
Texas allowing for less wind and perhaps a degree or two cooler
during the afternoon.

With light easterly flow at the surface through the end of the week,
expect some convection possibly developing along the sea breeze
roughly Thursday through the weekend. That said, the upper levels
begin to become a bit more interesting by this weekend as an upper
level trough or TUTT moves into the region. With continued weak
easterly flow at the surface allowing for the development of a sea
breeze front and some upper level support, increased POPs going into
next weekend.

Vaguely looking into the latter half of next weekend and into the
next workweek, it appears a wetter pattern is taking shape across
the region as the TUTT remains in place and southerly return flow
keeps a very rich low level column in place. This should be enough
to help with diurnal development at the very least.

MARINE (Tonight through Tuesday Night): Surface obs from the
lower TX Bay and Gulf waters in addition to ASCAT estimated winds
indicate that the conditions across the Bay and Gulf waters have
improved somewhat allowing for conditions to drop below SCA
levels. Surface ridging over the Gulf of Mex will maintain light
to moderate SE surface flow along the lower TX throughout
Tues/Tues Night.

(Wednesday through Monday): Moderate winds and seas can be expected
at the start of the long term, however, as high pressure takes
control, surface flow will begin to weaken allowing for a more
favorable marine environment that should persist through the
upcoming weekend. Cannot rule out some shower and storm development
by late week and into the weekend. In response, locally agitated
seas can be expected in the strongest convection, though this
seems like the exception rather than the rule.
