...UPDATED National Weather Service Brownsville TX
1120am CST Sat Dec 14 2024

Long Term
(Sunday Night through Friday) Issued at 207am CST Sat Dec 14 2024

The most significant event during this portion of the total forecast will be the late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning passage of a cold front. The approach and passage of this feature will produce isolated to scattered showers with embedded isolated thunderstorms Wednesday and Thursday for the BRO CWFA. Another potential for isolated to scattered convection will exist for Monday night as a weak cold front drops into the CRP CWFA. Otherwise, outside of these two time periods, mainly dry weather is anticipated with a nearly zonal mid-level flow in place.

Temperature-wise, a persistent onshore flow will result in well above normal daytime highs and overnight lows for Sunday night through Wednesday. The frontal passage late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning will lower values to more near normal levels for Thursday and Friday.

Finally, elevated seas, the result of the cold front and an enhanced pressure gradient beforehand, will produce a Moderate to High Risk of rip currents at the local beaches through the entire long term forecast period.

Marine
(Today through Sunday) Issued at 207am CST Sat Dec 14 2024

Light to moderate onshore flow along with moderate seas are expected to persist through Sunday. While the seas are expected to decrease to 4 to 5 feet by the end of the period, winds are expected to remain around 10 to 15 knots, allowing for mostly favorable conditions.

(Sunday Night through Friday) Small Craft Should Exercise Caution and Small Craft Advisory conditions are anticipated along the Lower Texas Coast from Sunday night through Monday due to an enhanced pressure gradient over the western Gulf of Mexico. Improved winds and seas will then develop for Monday night through Wednesday night as the pressure gradient relaxes a bit. However, a return to Small Craft Should Exercise Caution and Small Craft Advisory conditions is possible for Thursday and Friday due to the Thursday morning passage of a cold front.
