Northwest Houston, TX during the early morning.
West Houston, TX during the early afternoon.
Northwest Houston, TX during the early night.


Notes: Big to small, mostly bright white with some light to maybe dark grey, thick, puffy, low stratus clouds looked to cover most of and maybe sometimes the whole the sky in northwest and west Houston, TX during the morning, afternoon, evening, and early night. The wind speeds looked to be relatively calm with moderate gusts and maybe some moderately strong gusts in northwest and west Houston, TX during the early morning. The wind speeds looked to be relatively calm with moderate gusts and maybe some moderately heavy gusts in west Houston, TX during the mid and late morning and early afternoon. The wind speeds looked to be moderate with moderately strong to really strong gusts (20-30 mph) in northwest Houston, TX during the afternoon, evening, and early night. The wind speeds looked to be relatively calm with moderate to moderately strong and really strong gusts in northwest Houston, TX during the late night. The wind speeds looked to be relatively calm with moderate to moderately strong gusts with maybe some really strong gusts in west Houston, TX during the evening and early night. It felt warm in northwest and west Houston, TX during the morning, afternoon, evening, and early night. It started to feel cold in northwest Houston, TX during the late night. A line of light to moderately heavy to heavy showers and maybe a few thunderstorms passed through Houston, TX at around 10 pm and was still passing through the Houston, TX area (I think) when the day ended at around 12 am. I witnessed some light rain and drizzle in northwest Houston, TX at around 10 pm. I didn't hear about any flooding, or damages from the showers and maybe isolated thunderstorms.


Notes: It's getting cold again. I hope I'll make it through Monday mornings low of 28 degrees.
