.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1043 PM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026

The combination of an enhanced seabreeze, a low of low pressure over
northeastern Mexico/Deep South Texas and the interaction of a weak
front boundary will lead to unsettled weather through at least
midweek. Deep tropical moisture will continue to surge into Deep
South Texas tonight into Tuesday. This evening's 0Z Brownsville
sounding indicated a PWAT value of 2.38 inches. Rain chances are
expected to increase after midnight and there is a moderate to high
(50-70%) chance of rain overnight, mainly across the Low to middle
Rio Grande Valley and along the coast. The latest HRRR suggests that
some activity may develop and move into Cameron County around 3 AM.
There is a moderate to high (50-80%) chance of rain showers and
isolated thunderstorms on Monday, especially in the afternoon and
early evening. The forecast rainfall amounts between 1.5 to 3
inches, locally higher. PWATS surge between 2.5 to 2.75 inches
across the Rio Grande Plains Monday evening. Rain chances increase
to high (75-90%) Monday night. Numerous flash floods are likely
across Deep South Texas with scattered flash flooding possible near
the coast.

High (80-90%) rain chances continue Tuesday with scattered flash
flooding possible. Rain chances (30-60%) Tuesday night decreasing
from west to east. Forecast rainfall amounts between 1.5 to 3
inches, locally higher. Rain chances linger Wednesday into Wednesday
night as timing remains uncertain between the model guidance. There
is a low to moderate (20-50%) chance of rain, especially near the
coast on Wednesday with a low chance Wednesday night.

The forecast rainfall totals across the area from Monday into
Wednesday are 3 to 6 inches, with locally higher amounts of 8 inches
or higher where showers or thunderstorms persist.

The trough of low pressure located over northeastern Mexico could re-
emerge over the Gulf late Tuesday into Wednesday. The National
Hurricane Center has a 30% chance for tropical development through
day 7. Any development at that point would likely have minimal
impact on Deep South Texas. However, some increased swell along the
coast is possible, which could result in minor coastal flooding and
increased rip current risk.

The increased cloud cover and rain chances will lead to slightly
lower daytime temperatures through midweek. Drier weather returns on
Thursday as high humidity continues. There is a Moderate to Major
(levels 2-3 of 4) Heat Risk Thursday into Saturday. Heat Advisories
may be needed Thursday and Friday.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 619 AM CDT Mon Jun 15 2026

The latest issuance of TAFs reflect current radar trends as well
as shifts in the HRRR model guidance. Overall, VFR will remain for
a majority of the period. Prevailing TSRA will occur tonight as
deep tropical moisture interacts with low pressure in the middle
layers of the atmosphere.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 1043 PM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026

Generally favorable marine conditions are forecast to continue
through Tuesday. Showers and thunderstorms will increase along the
Lower Texas Coast and the Gulf waters tonight through mid to late
week. Adverse to hazardous conditions could return Wednesday and
Thursday, and Small Craft Advisories or Small Craft Should Exercise
Caution headlines may be needed.
