DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1012 PM CDT THU OCT 9 2025
LATEST SFC ANALYSIS REVEALS A WEAK COOL FRONT OVER THE GULF WATERS
ADJACENT TO THE BORDER OF KENEDY COUNTY. MULTIPLE CLUSTERS OF
SHOWERS WERE ALSO TAKING PLACE OVER THE GULF WATERS WITH MUCH OF
THE ACTIVITY WELL TO OUR SOUTH OVER NORTHEASTERN MEXICO. THROUGH
FRIDAY MORNING, EXPECT FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS TO BE AROUND WITH
TRENDS DECREASING IN TIME AS THE COOL FRONT CONTINUES TO SLOWLY
SHIFT SOUTHWARD THROUGH DEEP SOUTH TEXAS AND ADJACENT GULF WATERS.
DRIER AIR AND WEATHER CONDITIONS RETURN FRIDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING
FOLLOWING THE COOL FROPA AS MID-UPPER RIDGING BUILDS OVER THE REGION
AND SFC HIGH PRESSURE INCREASES ITS INFLUENCE OVER THE AREA. DRIER
AIR AND WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO THEN PERSIST THROUGH THE
REST OF THE FORECAST PERIOD OR THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY.
EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE BREEZY ON FRIDAY WITH SPEEDS
BETWEEN 15-20 MPH AND GUSTS UP TO 30 MPH, THANKS TO A CONTINUED
ENHANCED PRESSURE GRADIENT FROM A BROAD AND ANOMALOUSLY STRONG HIGH
PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE NORTHEAST U.S.
WITH THE NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURE AT BROWNSVILLE/SOUTH PADRE ISLAND
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (KBRO), ANOMALIES THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY WILL
CONTINUE TO RUN SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN NORMAL LEVELS. OVERNIGHT LOWS
WILL BE IN THE 60S AND 70S THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.
FINALLY, A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY AND A HIGH RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS
ARE IN EFFECT TILL 7 AM CDT FRIDAY MORNING BASED ON OBSERVATIONS
SEEN FROM WEBCAMS ALONG THE SOUTH PADRE ISLAND BEACHES EARLIER AND
OBSERVATIONS/FORECASTS FROM THE SPI BRAZOS SANTIAGO STATION.
