NWS Brownsville, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 9, 11:51 PM CST, 9 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Brownsville TX 1251 AM CDT Tue Sep 10 2019 ...06z Aviation Update... .DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION...VFR conditions will prevail for the terminals of Deep South Texas. Today will be very similar to Monday in that gusty southeasterly daytime winds are expected as well as isolated showers and thunderstorms. The coverage is the main limiting factor so decided to keep only VCs in for now. Subsequent updates may have a higher confidence in timing, coverage, and location. Brief MVFR conditions will be possible in any convection if it develops or moves close in proximity to the terminals. Winds and rain chances decrease shortly after sunset. && PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 246 PM CDT Mon Sep 9 2019/ SHORT TERM (Now through Tuesday Night): Satellite imagery continues to show the mid to upper level low parked over the region early this afternoon. Brownsville radar currently indicates some ongoing convection across portions of Cameron and Kenedy Counties. Additional showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop across the area through late this afternoon into the early evening hours. Streamer showers are expected to form over the Gulf waters late tonight into Tuesday morning. The 500 mb low will lollygag over deep south Texas through the forecast period. The combination of ample low level moisture and the mid level weakness overhead, will support at least diurnally driven isolated to scattered convection across the area Tuesday. Temperatures are expected to remain near normal levels courtesy of the presence of the mid level low and soils wetted from recent rains. Low temperatures tonight and Tuesday night will fall into the mid to upper 70s across much of the area, except for the lower 80s at the beaches. High temperatures Tuesday will range from the low to mid 90s near the coast to the upper 90s across the west near Roma and Falcon Lake. LONG TERM (Wednesday through Monday): The global models continue to be in fairly good agreement with the 500mb trough/shear axis across south Texas Wednesday between the 500mb subtropical ridge across the southeast United States and a 500mb ridge across northern Mexico. Low to mid level moisture will remain high across the western Gulf of Mexico extending northward into south Texas Wednesday into Thursday before some drier air from the east and northeast moves into portions of the CWA Friday. This will provide scattered showers and thunderstorms...mainly across the coastal sections of the CWA...Wednesday and Thursday...before rain chances diminish on Friday. Will mention a slight chance to chance of showers and thunderstorms...mainly across the coastal sections of the CWA...through the rest of the week into the weekend. The rest of the forecast period will depend on the 500mb low/inverted trough across the northwest Gulf of Mexico Sunday. The global models continue to diverge with the ECMWF bringing the upper level low towards the Texas coast Monday while the the GFS lifts the upper level low feature northward with the bulk of the moisture and rainfall across the Florida panhandle into Alabama Monday. Will mention a chance of rain across the eastern portions of deep south Texas Sunday through Monday for now but rain chances may be too high if the GFS model solution has a better handle of the 500mb low than the ECMWF model solution. MARINE (Now through Tuesday night): Light to moderate winds and moderate seas, generally 3 feet or less, are forecast along the lower Texas coast with surface high pressure in control. Small Craft Exercise Caution conditions may be possible on the Laguna Madre and the nearshore Gulf waters on Tuesday. Wednesday through Saturday...Light to moderate east to southeast winds will prevail across the coastal waters Wednesday with surface high pressure across the southeast United States. The pressure gradient will weaken across the western Gulf of Mexico Thursday. Light east to southeast winds Thursday will back to the east and northeast Friday with weak surface high pressure building into northeast Texas Friday. The light east to northeast will continue across the coastal waters Saturday. && .BRO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... TX...None.
