Area forecast discussion, Mar 31, 12:53 AM CDT, 2 hours 47 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Brownsville TX
1253 AM CDT Wed Mar 31 2021
.DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below.
&&
.AVIATION...Satellite imagery and surface observations show low
ceilings continuing to develop near the coast and spread inland
overnight with IFR at BRO and MVFR at both HRL and MFE, along with
moderate southeasterly winds. These ceilings are expected to
persist with a little jumping around through mid morning before
lifting to VFR. VAD wind profiles at KBRO show a moderate low
level jet of 45 kts at 2000 ft and 50 kts at 3000 ft, but breezy
southeast winds at the surface help to mitigate LLWS concerns. A
cold front will pass through Wednesday afternoon, bringing a
chance of showers along and behind the front, and gusty northerly
winds in its wake. Ceilings will lower once again to MVFR
overnight and into Thursday morning with rain chances continuing
overnight.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1050 PM CDT Tue Mar 30 2021/
DISCUSSION...Updated for latest marine discussion below.
MARINE...Satellite images and surface observations indicate
marine fog has developed across the lower Texas coast this
evening reducing visibilities to 1 NM so have issued a Marine
Dense Fog Advisory for the Laguna Madre and the nearshore waters
out to 20NM through early Wednesday afternoon. The cold front will
move offshore the lower Texas early Wed afternoon and visibilities
will rapidly improve in the wake of the front tomorrow afternoon.
PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 659 PM CDT Tue Mar 30 2021/
DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below.
AVIATION...Satellite images and surface observations indicate
some low to mid level clouds across the coastal sections of
Cameron and Willacy counties. Otherwise...a few high clouds are
moving across the CWA. Ceilings were near 1900ft at KBRO and KPIL.
Expect VFR conditions to prevail across the Rio Grande Valley through
early this evening before low clouds continue to develop across
the coastal sections of deep south Texas and spread further inland
later tonight. MVFR ceilings will prevail late tonight through
Wednesday morning as low to mid moisture increases along and
ahead of a cold front moving into south Texas Wed morning.
PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 324 PM CDT Tue Mar 30 2021/
SHORT TERM (Now through Wednesday Night): The main story in the
short term continues to be a strong cold front that is still on
track to push through Deep South Texas tomorrow afternoon. The
front will move northwest to southeast, exiting the CWA by 7 PM
tomorrow evening. Marginal moisture pooling and marginal to
moderate instability along the front may produce a few showers and
an isolated thunderstorm or two, but slightly better chances of
stratiform precipitation will come behind the front as overrunning
occurs. Rainfall amounts will vary and will range from a few
hundreths of an inch up to a quarter of an inch, isolated higher
amounts in some spots where heavier rain falls. Strong northerly
winds will develop behind the cold front. Widespread sustained
wind speeds between 20 and 25 mph, with gusts up to 35 mph is not
out of question. Winds along the coast will be even stronger, with
gusts up to 40 mph. A Wind Advisory may be needed, particularly
along the coast but possibly for some inland locations as well.
For tonight, another mild and muggy night is anticipated with
overnight lows only dropping into the mid-upper 60s, to near 70
degrees. Fog will likely develop again along the coast and a Marine
Dense Fog Advisory will probably need to be issued at some point
later this afternoon. Tomorrow night will be much cooler behind the
front. Clouds will remain thick as overrunning continues and
isolated to scattered showers are expected to persist through the
night. Overnight lows Wednesday night will drop into the low-mid
50s.
LONG TERM (Thursday Night through Monday) March will go out like
a Lion with strong Cold front expected to be well south Thursday
morning with cold Canadian high pressure building into the region.
Any lingering rain will likely be in the southern counties with
most of the rain be light. Cold Air advection riding on a fresh
northeast wind with a 1035mb Canadian surface ridge building south
in to Texas. Temperature consensus guidance showing mid 60s for
highs which will be 15-20 degrees below normal. 850mb temperatures
in the 6-8C degrees range, cloudy skies, some lingering rain
across the southern counties and the stiff northeast winds would
suggest colder. Chilly Friday morning with lows dipping into the
50s or 10 to 15 degree below normal for the end of March.
Mid-level ridge builds into the west and the surface ridge begins
its track east Friday and remains over the Gulf South and Mid-
Atlantic through next weekend. This should allow for a slow
warming trend into the weekend as winds veer east to southeast.
Low level moisture becomes trapped under the building ridge
maintaining mostly cloudy skies. Model continue to show a weak
embedded disturbance within the ridge passing across Central Texas
Saturday. Maintained the low pops over the West on Saturday but
most areas will remain dry at this time. The end of the long term
will feature increasing southerly flow and warmer temperatures
with the next upstream trough advancing into the Rockies. GFS is
faster with this trough while the ECMWF is a bit delayed.
MARINE:(Now through Wednesday Night): Generally favorable marine
conditions are expected tonight through Wednesday morning, with
light to moderate onshore southeast flow continuing. An approaching,
strong cold front will change that by mid-late Wednesday afternoon.
Winds will quickly turn northerly and rapidly increase behind the
front. Sustained wind speeds between 25 and 30 knots look likely
over the Gulf waters behind the front, with frequent gusts between
35 and 40 knots. Winds will be slightly lower on the bay, but
occasional gale force wind gusts are possible. A Gale Watch has been
issued for the Gulf waters starting Wednesday afternoon through
Thursday morning. A Gale Watch/Warning may be needed for the bay
waters as well.
Thursday-Saturday: Hazardous marine conditions will be ongoing
Thursday morning much of the day Thursday. Gale conditions are
still possible around sunrise with seas continuing to build. High
pressure settle to east Friday with winds diminishing but seas
remaining elevated into Saturday. Conditions will briefly improve
into Saturday as winds and seas relax further. However, a
persistent moderate easterly to southeast fetch across the
northern Gulf will keep wave heights elevated through the holiday
weekend.
COASTAL...In wake of the cold front strong northeast winds
and building highs seas offshore will likely allow for water to
pile up some water along South Padre Island and Boca Chica beaches
starting as early as Wednesday afternoon but more likely peaking
Thursday morning. Wave models suggest 8-11 foot seas with 9
second periods during the day Thursday more than likely causing
some coastal flooding on narrow beaches Wednesday night and
Thursday with a coastal flood advisory likely to be needed as
water may reach the dunes in some locations. A surf advisory may
also be needed Wed night and Thursday as breakers reach or exceed
6 feet in the surf zone.
As the holiday weekend approaches a long fetch of northeast to
east winds will set up across the Gulf of Mexico as the expanding
surface ridge settles across the Gulf South States. This should
produce a long period swell of 8 to 9 second with the potential
for water running up along the beaches during high tide which is
expected to occur during the late morning and afternoon hours
Friday through Sunday.
