.DISCUSSION... Issued at 1043 PM CDT Sun Sep 7 2025
A weak cold front across the northern ranchlands this evening will continue to drift slowly southward and linger across the CWA Monday into Tuesday. Deep moisture remains in place across the region with PWATs above 2 inches, the 0Z Brownsville sounding indicated a PW of 2.41 inches. The combination of deep tropical moisture, instability from the southward moving frontal boundary, and remnant outflow boundaries could generate some additional convection across Deep South Texas late this evening into the overnight hours. Brownsville radar currently shows some fading activity across portions of Rio Grande Plains extending into the Upper Valley and over the Gulf waters. The abundant moisture and light winds aloft still have the potential to produce heavy rainfall with any of the slower moving showers and thunderstorms that does develop. WPC maintains a marginal (level 1 of 4) risk of excessive rainfall across much of the area through late tonight.
The latest CAMS, including the HRRR, indicate a lull in activity for most of the night until another possible around of convection develops, mainly near the coast, before sunrise. Daytime heating and the weak frontal boundary meandering across the area should lead to another round of showers and thunderstorms across the area on Monday.
Slightly drier air arrives Monday night into Tuesday with PWATs falling to between 1.4 to 1.7 inches. However, the abundant moisture combined with the seabreeze each afternoon will maintain daily rain chances through the week. Will lean towards an NBM, CONSShort/CONSALL and manual adjustments as the NBM appears to be overdone for pops. Temperatures are expected to remain near normal through the period.

.AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 637 PM CDT Sun Sep 7 2025
Light northeast to east winds with some low and high clouds prevail across Deep South Texas early this evening. Generally light northeast to east winds are expected to continue through the period. Another round or two of convection is possible late tonight/early morning and again Monday afternoon based on current CAMS. Brief MVFR or IFR conditions will be possible in and around any convection. Otherwise, VFR conditions will continue for the next 24 hours.

.MARINE... Issued at 1043 PM CDT Sun Sep 7 2025
Generally favorable conditions will prevail through the period with light to moderate winds and low seas. A low to medium (20 to 60 percent) chance of rain will continue along the Lower Texas Coast and over the Gulf waters through the period. The increase in low level moisture and light winds may support a few waterspouts at times. Locally higher winds and seas will be possible in and around any showers and thunderstorms.
