Brownsville, TX: Thursday, 10/7/10

High temperature in the mid '80's, low in the lower '60's. The dry, sunny pattern continues into Thursday, as the 500-mb Omega Block pattern persists, supporting a ridge of upper level high pressure over south Texas. Winds will remain in the same range as the last few days, around 8 knots, due to upper level diffluence and the strong meridional wind component. Relatively dry air over the region combined with continued northerly to northeasterly winds along the Texas coast will result in a maximum temperature slightly higher than Wednesday and no expected precipitation.
