DISCUSSION

Issued at 1043 PM CDT Sun Jun 14 2026

The combination of an enhanced seabreeze, a low of low pressure over northeastern Mexico/Deep South Texas and the interaction of a weak front boundary will lead to unsettled weather through at least midweek. Deep tropical moisture will continue to surge into Deep South Texas tonight into Tuesday. This evening's 0Z Brownsville sounding indicated a PWAT value of 2.38 inches. Rain chances are expected to increase after midnight and there is a moderate to high (50-70%) chance of rain overnight, mainly across the Low to middle Rio Grande Valley and along the coast. The latest HRRR suggests that some activity may develop and move into Cameron County around 3 AM. There is a moderate to high (50-80%) chance of rain showers and isolated thunderstorms on Monday, especially in the afternoon and early evening. The forecast rainfall amounts between 1.5 to 3 inches, locally higher. PWATS surge between 2.5 to 2.75 inches across the Rio Grande Plains Monday evening. Rain chances increase to high (75-90%) Monday night. Numerous flash floods are likely across Deep South Texas with scattered flash flooding possible near the coast.

High (80-90%) rain chances continue Tuesday with scattered flash flooding possible. Rain chances (30-60%) Tuesday night decreasing from west to east. Forecast rainfall amounts between 1.5 to 3 inches, locally higher. Rain chances linger Wednesday into Wednesday night as timing remains uncertain between the model guidance. There is a low to moderate (20-50%) chance of rain, especially near the coast on Wednesday with a low chance Wednesday night.

The forecast rainfall totals across the area from Monday into Wednesday are 3 to 6 inches, with locally higher amounts of 8 inches or higher where showers or thunderstorms persist.

The trough of low pressure located over northeastern Mexico could re- emerge over the Gulf late Tuesday into Wednesday. The National Hurricane Center has a 30% chance for tropical development through day 7. Any development at that point would likely have minimal impact on Deep South Texas. However, some increased swell along the coast is possible, which could result in minor coastal flooding and increased rip current risk.

The increased cloud cover and rain chances will lead to slightly lower daytime temperatures through midweek. Drier weather returns on Thursday as high humidity continues. There is a Moderate to Major (levels 2-3 of 4) Heat Risk Thursday into Saturday. Heat Advisories may be needed Thursday and Friday.
