Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Brownsville TX
400 AM CST Fri Jan 14 2022
.SHORT TERM (Now through Saturday): Satellite imagery and surface
observations have indicated that dense fog has formed across the
eastern portions of the CWA. A Dense Fog Advisory has been issued
for Brooks, Kenedy, Willacy, Hidalgo, and Cameron counties until 9
AM CST.
500mb ridging centered just south of the Baja Peninsula will
produce a dry flow over Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley
today. Surface high pressure along the lower Texas coast early
this morning will quickly slide to the southeast. The stable
atmosphere in place combined with the southerly low level flow
will allow high temperatures to warm into the upper 70s to the
lower 80s across much of the area today. A large 500mb trough over
the northern Rockies this morning will move into the Plains late
tonight. The mid level trough/low will then swing towards the
Southeast U.S. on Saturday. At the surface, low pressure across
northern Texas today will track towards the ARKLATEX region
tonight into Saturday morning. A strong cold front will surge
across Texas tonight and move through Deep South Texas early
Saturday morning. A few showers will be possible along and ahead
of the front, mainly near the coast and across the Gulf waters,
late tonight into Saturday morning. Much cooler air filters into
the region on Saturday with temperatures in the 50s and 60s.
Breezy to windy conditions will develop in the wake of the front
as high pressure builds into Texas. A Wind Advisory is possible
for portion of Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley,
especially the coastal areas Saturday.
.LONG TERM (Saturday Night through Thursday): 500mb low/trough
across east Texas/Louisiana and surface low pressure across the
northern Gulf coast states Saturday will continue to provide cold
air advection across south Texas Sat night. Temperatures will fall
into the lower to mid 30s across the northern ranchlands and into
the mid to upper 30s across the Rio Grande Valley Sat night. In
addition...strong northwest winds will continue across the lower
Texas coast Sat night with wind advisories likely across the
coastal sections of the coastal counties of deep South Texas. By
Sunday morning...wind chill index values will reach the mid to upper
20s across the Brooks/Kenedy County Ranches and upper 20s to near
30 across Willacy and Cameron counties. A Wind Chill Advisory may
be needed across the coastal counties of deep South Texas Sun
morning. Cannot rule out actual freezing temperatures Sun morning
across the northern ranchlands but it will be isolated in nature.
There is a better chance of freezing temperatures Mon morning
across the northern ranchlands as clear skies...light winds and
dry dewpoints provide ideal radiational cooling. In addition...patchy
frost is possible across the northern ranchlands Mon morning.
Temperatures will gradually warm early next week as high presssure
across the Rio Grande Valley and deep south Texas Sunday moves
eastward Monday and an onshore flow increases Monday into Tuesday
ahead of an upper level shortwave trough across the Rockies
Tuesday moving eastward Wednesday. A stronger 500mb trough is
progged to develop across the east-central United States Thursday
and another cold front is expected to move through south Texas
Thurs morning providing a chance of rain towards the end of the
forecast period as elevated convection is progged to develop
across the CWA Thursday into Thurs night.
&&
.MARINE (Now through Saturday): Buoy 42020 reported southwest winds
at 10 knots with gusts around 14 knots and seas around 1 foot at 240
CST/840 UTC. Webcams on South Padre Island early this morning
indicate patchy fog along the nearshore Gulf waters and across the
Laguna Madre. Favorable conditions will prevail along the lower
Texas coast today with high pressure in control across the western
Gulf. The pressure gradient will strengthen tonight as the cold
front pushes into northern Texas and approaches the Texas coast
leading to an uptick in winds and seas. A Small Craft Advisory is in
effect for both the Bay and Gulf waters late tonight into early
Saturday morning. Very strong winds and high seas will develop in
the wake of the cold front. A Gale Warning has been posted for the
Laguna Madre and Gulf waters starting at 9 AM Saturday.
Saturday night through Tuesday...Very strong northwest winds will
prevail across the coastal waters Sat night as cold air continues
to filter across the western Gulf of Mexico in the wake of the
cold front. Gale Warnings are in effect for the Laguna Madre and
offshore waters Sat night as frequent gusts to gale force will
continue across the coastal waters. The pressure gradient will
begin to weaken across the lower Texas coast Sun afternoon. Small
Craft Advisories will replace the Gale Warnings Sun morning with
strong northwest winds and the SCA will continue across the
offshore waters through Sun afternoon as seas remain high even as
winds diminish across the coastal waters. Light to moderate
northwest winds Sun afternoon will veer to the southeast Sun night
and continue to diminish as surface high pressure settles across
the western Gulf of Mexico. Light southeast winds Monday will
increase Mon night into Tuesday as the pressure gradient increases
across the coastal waters with low pressure across the TX/OK
panhandles Tuesday. Expect SCEC conditions across the offshore
waters Mon night into Tuesday with moderate to strong south to
southeast winds developing as a result.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER (Saturday Afternoon): A strong cold front will push
through Deep South Texas on Saturday bringing gusty northerly winds
and very dry air with it. RH values are expected to be in the teens
by Saturday afternoon with 20 foot winds at 15 to 20 kts. A Fire
Weather Watch is in effect for Saturday morning until the evening
hours (12z Sat-00z Sun) for the entire CWA. Elevated to critical
fire weather conditions can be expected with the coastal counties
having the highest probability of meeting critical fire weather
conditions.
