DISCUSSION

UPPER-LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES OVER THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES
OVER THE NEXT WEEK, WITH ONE AREA DRIFTING EASTWARD FROM THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST, AND ANOTHER AREA LOCATED OFF THE COAST OF FLORIDA. THIS
WILL KEEP THE WEATHER IN DEEP SOUTH TEXAS HOT AND MOSTLY SUNNY, WITH
LOWER HUMIDITIES IN THE WESTERN RANCHLANDS. CLOSER TO THE COAST,
CONDITIONS WILL FEEL MUCH MORE HUMID AS SOUTHEASTERLY SURFACE WINDS
PREVAIL, ALLOWING FOR INFLUXES OF TROPICAL MOISTURE. THIS WILL
ALLOW FOR A LOW CHANCE OF ISOLATED CONVECTION TO DEVELOP ALONG THE
SEA BREEZE FRONT IN THE AFTERNOONS, WITH CHANCES EAST OF I-69C BEING
AROUND 20% OR LESS EACH DAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
IN ADDITION, THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS CURRENTLY MONITORING A
TROPICAL WAVE IN THE NORTHWEST CARIBBEAN, WHICH IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE WEST-NORTHWESTWARD ACROSS THE YUCATAN PENINSULA INTO THE BAY
OF CAMPECHE/SOUTHWEST GULF BY THURSDAY. AT THIS TIME, THERE IS A
LOW CHANCE (10-20%) OF LOW PRESSURE/CYCLONE FORMATION WITHIN THE
NEXT WEEK, WHICH COULD BRING IMPACTS SUCH AS INCREASED RIP
CURRENTS AND SWELLS, AS WELL AS POTENTIALLY HEAVY RAINFALL, TO
DEEP SOUTH TEXAS BY THIS WEEKEND. BY FRIDAY, PRECIPITATION CHANCES
INCREASE TO AROUND 40-50% (WITH THE HIGHEST CHANCES EAST OF
I-69C) AS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES CLIMB ABOVE TWO INCHES,
INDICATING A ROBUST TROPICAL AIRMASS. THESE CHANCES DROP BACK
DOWN TO 20-30% ON SATURDAY, BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN AND
LOCALIZED FLOODING IN POOR DRAINAGE AREAS CONTINUES FOR BOTH
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
HEAT IS ALSO GOING TO BE A CONCERN THROUGHOUT DEEP SOUTH TEXAS AS
MODERATE TO MAJOR HEAT RISKS CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO NEXT
WEEK. DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO GET UP INTO THE
UPPER 90S TO THE MID 100S, WITH HEAT INDICES REACHING AS HIGH AS 111
DEGREES EVERYDAY. SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENTS AND/OR HEAT ADVISORIES
MAY BE NEEDED, AND WILL BE MONITORED DAILY.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 616 PM CDT TUE AUG 12 2025
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE IN THE VICINITY OF MFE AND HRL AND
COULD IMPACT AIRPORTS OVER THE NEXT 2 HOURS. MFE IS THE MOST
LIKELY TO BE IMPACTED, WHICH COULD TEMPORARILTY DECREASE
CONDITIONS TO MVFR. OTHERWISE, CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN VFR WITH
SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS THAT COULD BE GUSTY AT TIMES.
MARINE
ISSUED AT 1028 PM CDT TUE AUG 12 2025
FAVORABLE MARINE CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
DEPENDING ON WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE TROPICAL WAVE THAT IS EXPECTED TO
CROSS INTO THE GULF, THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR INCREASED SWELL
AND WAVE HEIGHTS, WHICH COULD SLIGHTLY DETERIORATE MARINE
CONDITIONS BY FRIDAY. AT THIS TIME, HOWEVER, SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY AND SMALL CRAFT EXERCISE CAUTION CONDITIONS ARE NOT
EXPECTED. THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION (30-50%) FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY AS WELL. CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN TO FAVORABLE BY
EARLY NEXT WEEK.
