Area Forecast Discussion ...UPDATED National Weather Service Brownsville TX 610am CDT Thu May 15 2025 Long Term (Friday night through Wednesday) Issued at 224am CDT Thu May 15 2025 The main concern in the long term will be the oppressive daytime heat. A 500mb subtropical ridge will continue to bring dry and hot summer-like conditions over Deep South Texas through the period. Near record to record high temperatures will be possible Saturday. The combination of the unseasonable hot temperatures and higher humidity will support heat indices each afternoon, ranging from 100 to 113 degrees across the much of the area. A Heat Advisory will likely be needed for portions of the CWA (County Warning Area) Saturday through the middle of next week. The hot afternoons and warm overnight temperatures will lead to a Heat Risk for Saturday of mainly Moderate (level 2 of 4) to Major (level 3 of 4). However, by late in the weekend into early next week some pockets of Extreme (level 4 of 4) will move into the Northern Ranchlands. An enhance pressure gradient will lead to moderate to breezy south to southeast winds through much of the period. Marine Issued at 224am CDT Thu May 15 2025 Now through Friday...Low pressure in the Plains and a persistent ridge across the eastern Gulf has enhanced the pressure gradient into late this afternoon, continuing elevated southeasterly flow across all coastal waters. Small Craft Advisories continue through the afternoon, with some gradual improvement tonight into Friday. Friday night through Wednesday...Moderate to occasionally strong south to southeast winds will prevail along the Lower Texas coast through the middle of next week. Small Craft Exercise Caution conditions are likely on the Gulf waters and on the Laguna Madre every afternoon. Small Craft Advisories will be possible at times due to slightly stronger winds and higher Gulf seas.
