Isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible embedded in warm, moist, southerly flow through tomorrow morning.

An approaching upper level disturbance and cold front will combine with copious moisture and generate scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms Saturday, along with weak onshore flow. The front will move offshore Saturday night and result in strong offshore flow. Drier conditions are expected Saturday night and Sunday. Another surge of surface high pressure will maintain strong offshore flow Sunday night and Monday. Expect weak to moderate offshore flow Monday night, followed by onshore flow Tuesday, as surface high pressure approaches then enters the Western Gulf of Mexico, and as low pressure deepens over the Southern Plains and over the Texas panhandle. $$ Expires:202011270330;;444621 FZUS54 KBRO 262130 CWFBRO Coastal Waters Forecast National Weather Service Brownsville TX 330 PM CST Thu Nov 26 2020 Lower Texas coastal waters from Baffin Bay to the mouth of the Rio Grande out to 60 NM.
