| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Brownsville TX 323am CST Tuesday Mar 2 2021 Short Term - Now through Wednesday Light precipitation is currently spreading over the central and eastern inland portions of the BRO CWFA and adjacent coastal waters with a cold front positioned over the western Gulf of Mexico. The precipitation should end by around sunrise this morning as closed 500 mb low pressure quickly shifts east to the Mississippi River Valley and surface high pressure builds in, allowing dry weather to prevail for the remainder of the period. Moderating temperatures are also anticipated as decreasing cloud cover allows for increasing sunshine. Long Term - Wednesday Night through Monday Surface high pressure across east Texas Wednesday night will move farther eastward Thursday into Thursday night. Temperatures will gradually warm Wednesday night into Friday as onshore surface flow develops. Low temperatures Wednesday night will fall into the 50s under partly cloudy skies. Thursday will be warm with highs in the 70s, the lower 80s across the west, with a mix of sun and clouds. A few showers will be possible on Friday as low level moisture increases along the lower Texas coast with the steady southeasterly flow. The next cold front moves across Texas on Friday and pushes through deep south Texas by Friday evening. Temperatures are expected to fall to near or slightly below normal in the wake of the front. .Marine - Now through Wednesday Adverse marine conditions will continue along the Lower Texas Coast until around sunset today with Small Craft Advisories in effect.
