Northwest Houston, TX during the early morning

Northwest Houston, TX during the early night.

Notes: Very dense fog in northwest Houston, TX turned into moderate dense fog in west Houston, TX during the early morning. The fog looked to have left west Houston, TX and turned into bright white to light grey, puffy, low stratus clouds in west Houston, TX during the mid-morning. The stratus clouds looked to cover most of the sky in west Houston, TX, during the late morning, afternoon, and early evening. Bright white, maybe light grey, puffy, low stratus clouds looked to cover most of the sky in northwest Houston, TX during the late evening. Bright white, puffy, high stratus clouds looked to be widely scattered across the sky in northwest Houston, TX during the early night. The wind speeds were calm in northwest and west Houston, TX, during the early morning. The wind speeds looked to be mostly calm with maybe some moderate gusts in west Houston, TX, during the mid and late morning, afternoon, and early evening.  The wind speeds looked to be mostly calm with maybe some moderate gusts in northwest Houston, TX during the late evening and early night. It felt warm and humid in northwest and west Houston, TX during the morning, afternoon, evening, and night. There looked to be a few isolated showers and thunderstorms on the radar, near and maybe in the Houston, TX area during the morning, afternoon, evening, and maybe night.

Thoughts: There wasn't as much rain in the Houston, TX area as foretasted from the passing cold front, for both Monday and Tuesday. I was really hoping to see some thunderstorms, or heavy rain with the passing cold front, but that's ok, maybe next time. Houston, TX did get some decent showers. It looks like we might get some heavy rain this weekend, and cooler temps too! I was surprised to see, as you'll see in NOAA's forecast discussion that there were some record highs broken in the Houston, TX area. I knew it was abnormally hot today, but I didn't know it was hot enough to break a record.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
907 PM CST Tue Nov 29 2016

.DISCUSSION...
Based on radar fine lines, the cold front was located from near
KJAS in east TX to KLVJ (Pearland) and then SW to KBYY (Bay City).
The front appears to be moving fairly slowly, maybe 5 mph. Latest
HRRR model trends have the front pushing off the coast after
06z/midnight and then accelerating south. Radar still shows a few
lines of showers/storms in the Gulf but remain rather weak due to
capping aloft evident by ACARS soundings as well as the 00Z CRP
sounding. CRP sounding had temps of 10C at 700mb, 20C at 850mb.
Surface obs also showed a few isolate areas of fog developing
south of the front. Mainly visibility has dropped to around 3 to
5 miles along the coast and just off shore. The front should erode
the fog the next couple of hours. We are certainly not expecting
dense fog to quickly form like last night.

Main changes to the forecast were to just update for on going
trends with the front pushing south. Minimum temps may not be
quite as cool along the coast since it will take some time for
cold air advection to take place.

As for this coming weekend, I think the previous discussion covers
the potential rain event. Despite some model differences, I`ll
sum up by saying "It gonna rain".

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 535 PM CST Tue Nov 29 2016/

AVIATION...
For most sites, dry air on northwest flow should keep fog from
being an issue tonight. However, with a boundary stalled just
inland of the Gulf shore, this seems unlikely at GLS, which
should see some fog develop before gusty northwest winds on a cold
front blast dry air in. Went with MVFR conditions now, on chance
that stalled boundary drifts southward this evening, but potential
for IFR definitely exists and may be cause for later amendments.

Other challenge will be how and when winds get gusty as cold front
works through. In collaboration with the CWSU, agree on bringing
in gustier winds a little after winds just off the surface
increase. Along with that, the narrow band of clouds near the
coast should also depart the area.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 408 PM CST Tue Nov 29 2016/

DISCUSSION...
The frontal boundary responsible for thunderstorms across parts
of the Brazos Valley and Piney Woods earlier this morning as it
lifted north is now sagging south across the region this
afternoon. Surface analysis shows this boundary snaked from Edna
to Katy to Dayton, with satellite imagery showing enhanced cumulus
developing along the boundary. Despite this, convection this
afternoon has been largely limited as warm air advection at 850
and 700 MB has resulted in a strengthening cap across the Houston
metro. Low level warm air advection today has also resulted in a
few locations reaching or setting record high temperatures, with
Houston Intercontinental having reached at least 84 degrees as of
4 PM (which would exceed the record of 83 set in 2006).

Cannot rule out a few showers developing underneath this cap as
the boundary slowly sags towards the coast this afternoon, with
scattered showers and thunderstorms blossoming over the coastal
waters and extreme southeastern counties this evening as a
secondary cold front across North and Central Texas sweeps off the
coast this evening and tonight. May see a few of the storms across
the coastal waters become strong to marginally severe, but this
activity will continue to move into the northern Gulf and away
from the Upper Texas coast with the associated front. Until the
cold front moves off the coast tonight and ushers in drier air,
may see some patchy fog across the bays and nearshore waters with
warm, moist air pooled right along the coast. Otherwise, expect
overnight lows in the low 40s to mid 50s.

Surface high pressure building into the region in the wake of
tonight`s front will result in dry, cooler weather for the region
on Wednesday and Thursday. Elevated north winds (15-20 MPH) and
relative humidity values falling to near 25 percent during the
afternoon tomorrow will result in elevated fire weather conditions
for most inland areas tomorrow afternoon, but decreasing winds on
Thursday will help limit overall fire weather concerns. Expect
highs Wednesday and Thursday to be in the 60s with lows ranging
from the upper 30s across the extreme northern counties to mid 50s
along the coast.

Attention then turns to the upcoming weekend as energy from an
upper trough approaching from the west cuts off over northern
Mexico. Surface high pressure shifting into the southeastern US on
Friday will allow moisture to begin surging into the region, aided
by the development of a coastal trough along the Middle Texas
coast. Southwest flow aloft combined with enhanced low level
convergence from the coastal trough will result in periods of
showers and thunderstorms across Southeast Texas in the Saturday
through Monday timeframe. With precipitable water values climbing
to near 1.7 inches along the coast, have increasing concerns for
heavy rain to impact parts of the Upper Texas coast. Medium range
guidance has come into better agreement on the overall upper
pattern evolution, but still offers different timing on when the
upper low will lift across Texas and placements on the coastal
trough that develops (which would affect which areas see the
heaviest rain). Regardless, this weekend looks cool, wet, and one
to watch for heavy rain impacting parts of the Upper Texas coast.

and southwestern counties. Some locations in and around the stronger
activity earlier this evening have received a radar estimated 3 to 5
inches of rain, generally in and around a Columbus to New Ulm area.
Models show slow weakening over the next several hours as activity
drifts generally to the south. Have updated the evening forecast to
cover rain chances for the rest of the evening in the areas currently
experiencing the storms, and to also cover possible development during
the overnight hours due to left over boundaries and a weak front moving
across the area. 42

Today`s high temperature record was set at Houston Intercontinental
Airport (88 degrees broke the old record of 87 degrees set back in
1992).  42

AVIATION...
Convection still festering across the western forecast area has
VCSH in place over for the next few hours. Expecting the majority
of this vicinity activity to weaken going into the 03Z-04Z hours
..late evening into early Friday morning VFR. An approaching
weak cold frontal boundary will add an element of uncertainty to
the occurrence and extent of 09-14Z fog and Friday daytime showers
/storms. This package has the boundary slowing entering the
region through the pre-dawn through noon hours...with periods of
early morning MVFR decks and fog. Models are not aggressive with
Friday precipitation but...with the mid-lower level focus provided
by this weakly southern-sagging front within a fairly moist environment
..feel at least VCSH are warranted (amend along the way if needed).

DISCUSSION...
Once again warm and humid conditions are observed for the start
of November. Area radar show a few showers across SE Texas with
more organized thunderstorm activity over C Texas and the Hill
Country. Surface analysis shows a frontal boundary from the
boot heal of Missouri SW through N Texas into west central Texas.
Convection has formed ahead of this boundary which has driven rain
cooled air towards the Brazos Valley.

Water vapor imagery shows upper level ridging over much of Texas
with an upper level low over the Desert SW/Baja Mexico. This
system will remain quasi-stationary tonight but then begin to move
NE into the Rockies as it weakens on Saturday.

Overall for the short term portion of the forecast convection over
C Texas may push some east towards College Station to Columbus,
but likely weaken as it does so. Forecast will keep 20/30 PoPs as
a result. Friday the frontal boundary should remain stalled to the
north of the area allowing for the possibility of more diurnally
driven thunderstorm activity mainly along the coast. Saturday may
be both drier as far as rain chances are concerned but also with
the airmass. The frontal boundary eventually pushes through into
SE Texas more as a front between moist/dry air. There may still be
some slight rain chances to the SW of Houston depending upon how
far to the SW drier air advects.

Sunday into Monday will be a transition from somewhat drier air
from Saturday to having Gulf moisture re-establishing over the
area. Precipitable water values increase back to 1.5 to 1.8 inches
on Monday. GFS/ECMWF do have some consistency with enhanced W/SW
flow in the jet as a jet streak moves into S Texas from Mexico.
This places the left entrance region of the jet for divergence
over much of SE Texas. Warm advection pattern continues within the
boundary layer which will maintain a moist airmass. Right now
think higher rain chances are needed so increased to 40/50 percent
for Monday. This is looking like a decent event for rainfall as
much of the area could get near a half inch to an inch of
rainfall. This probably will not be a drought buster at all but
certainly could help ease dry conditions across the area.

Beyond Tuesday the extended range progs get messy. Wednesday into
Thursday the GFS develops a weak cut-off low back over the Desert
SW while also maintaining a closed low over the plains. ECMWF has
a broader cut off low in a similar position but has ridging
through the plains. The forecast will keep some low end PoPs of
20/30 percent for the middle of next week but think the forecast
may be headed more towards lower rain chances. The closed low the
GFS develops mid week is more progressive in the ECMWF with an
east coast trough. This may be more likely scenario but looks like
GFS ensembles are somewhat split over the pattern evolution.

MARINE...
Elevated seas will gradually slacken as winds continue to weaken
into this evening and overnight. A cold front will push off the
coast tomorrow, but pressure rises behind the front are not expected
to be very impressive. Winds will pick up on Saturday as low
pressure deepening over the Central Plains causes the gradient to
tighten a bit. Scattered showers and thunderstorms and moderate
onshore winds are expected early next week as a coastal trough
develops and hangs out across the Upper Texas Coast. Tides remain
around 1.0-1.4 feet above normal and may approach 3 feet during high
tide again tonight. 11

The wind speeds felt to be relatively calm during the early morning. The wind speeds felt to be relatively calm with moderate to strong gusts during the mid and late morning, afternoon, evening, and night. There looked to be a few medium to small, puffy stratus clouds in the sky during the morning. Big, medium, and small, light grey to medium/bluish grey stratus clouds looked to cover most of the sky during the afternoon and early evening. The sky looked to have become mostly clear during the late evening. The sky looked to be mostly clear during the night. Light to heavy showers and maybe thunderstorms became scattered across Houston, TX, sometime during the late morning, or early afternoon and stayed until the late evening. The showers and maybe thunderstorms were mostly scattered across the west areas of Houston, TX. A moderately heavy shower passed over where I was in west Houston, TX at around 4 pm. I felt some drizzle sometime during the late afternoon in west Houston, TX. I saw some water droplets fall on my cars window when I left work in west Houston, TX, during the late evening. I saw some big puddles on my way to northwest Houston, TX, during the late evening. I didn't hear about any damages from the showers and maybe thunderstorms. It felt warm and humid during the morning. It felt hot and humid during the early and mid-afternoon. It felt warm and humid during the late afternoon, evening, and night. This was my observation of the weather that occurred in west and northwest Houston, TX, where I was during the day.

Notes: I think there looked to be a light fog with big high stratus clouds in the sky, during the early morning in northwest and west Houston, TX. Big, medium, and small, grey to bluish grey clouds covered most of the sky during the mid and late morning, afternoon, and maybe early evening in northwest and west Houston, TX. There looked to be only a few high stratus clouds in the sky during the late evening and night in northwest Houston, TX. It felt warm during the morning, afternoon, evening, and night in northwest and west Houston, TX. The wind speeds felt to be relatively calm with moderate to strong gusts during the morning, afternoon, evening, and early night in northwest and west Houston, TX. Light to moderate and heavy showers and maybe a few thunderstorms looked to be scattered across the southwest, west and northwest areas of Houston, TX, during the  morning and afternoon. A moderately, or maybe heavy shower passed over where I was in west Houston, TX, during the early afternoon. A few light showers passed over where I was in west Houston, TX after the moderately, or maybe heavy shower, during the early afternoon. Another moderate shower passed over where I was in west Houston, TX, during the mid-afternoon. I didn't see, or feel any rain drops after that. I didn't see, or hear about any flooding, or damages from the showers and maybe thunderstorms that passed over southwest, west, and northwest Houston, TX. I think I may have heard some distant thunder and seen some flashes of lightning, but wasn't too sure. There may have also been some showers and thunderstorms in other areas of Houston, TX, but I don't remember seeing any on the radar. This was my observation of the weather that occurred in west and norhtwest Houston, TX, where I was, during the day.
