One year ago today, the Rio Grande Valley experienced a historic weather "whiplash." After weeks of worsening drought, the skies opened between March 26-28, dropping nearly 21 inches of rain in just 48 hours. The deluge shattered all-time March records and rivaled the catastrophic rainfall of notable tropical cyclones like Beulah (1967) and Dolly (2008). Beyond the flooding, our teams tracked damaging winds and a tornado in Edcouch—reminding us that significant impacts can happen even without a tropical system. Standing Shoulder-to-Shoulder: During the height of the crisis, the NWS Brownsville/RGV team didn't just provide warnings and support from the office. Our meteorologists deployed directly to the McAllen EOC and worked eye-to-eye with TDEM Region 5 and local emergency managers. This real-time collaboration allowed us to issue life-saving Flash Flood Emergencies as rescue calls began to pour in. The scale of the disaster triggered both a State and a Federal Major Disaster Declaration, highlighting the resilience of our South Texas communities. 💬 We want to hear from you. Where were you during the "Madness of March" 2025? How has your neighborhood recovered over the last year? Please share your stories and photos in the comments below. 👇

A combination of the ongoing extreme to exceptional drought and abundant cured fuels will continue to drive elevated wildfire threat across Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley this week. As Smokey Bear says, Only You Can Prevent Wildfires!

Pleasant conditions at the local beaches today with plenty of sunshine and a low rip current risk.

Generally hot temperatures for the next 5 days for the region. However, there is a decent chance for rain on Saturday, or at least more cloud coverage to reduce the temperatures for a short time due the passage of a weak cold front.

Here are the forecast high temperatures and rain chances for Deep South Texas today.

Here are the forecast low temperatures and rain chances for Deep South Texas tonight.
