A picture that I took of police cars blocking a road that had a downed power line, on Tully and Fern, st. in west Houston, TX.

Thoughts: That was some strong wind!

640 PM CST Sun Jan 22 2017

.AVIATION...
VFR - Powerful low over northern Georgia with strong NW flow
across SETX late this afternoon. Gradient will be relaxing tonight
as well as quick cooling allowing the strong gusty winds to wane.
Wrap around clouds have departed the area so SKC skies on tap
tonight/Monday. Winds remain NW diminishing tonight then resuming
at 6-12kts Monday after the sun warms us up. Weak high pressure
over STX slides south into the Gulf Monday afternoon and this will
lead to winds becoming westerly Monday afternoon then light and
variable then light southerly by Monday evening. The moistening
flow Monday night may lead to some fog Tuesday morning.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 401 PM CST Sun Jan 22 2017/

DISCUSSION...
It has been one of the windiest days the region has experienced in
quite some time. Many areawide sites were reporting 25 to 35 mph
sustained...with gusts to around 45 mph...throughout the day.
This has wrecked havoc on some Houston area power grids as (per
many social media reports) there have been reports of downed power
lines/poles and trees. These strong gradient winds will weaken
going into the sunset hours...inland winds falling to under 15
mph by midnight. Coastal winds to fall to under 15 knots during
the pre-dawn Monday morning hours.

The upper low currently behind the deadly storm system impacting
the southeastern U.S. this afternoon is forecast to move off the
Mid-Atlantic coastline tomorrow evening. In the meantime...
transitory riding will fill in its wake and weaken this offshore
flow. A weakened north wind with starry overnight skies will allow
regional thermometers to fall into the interior lower to middle
40s...lower 50s along a breezier shore. Monday`s sunny and dry
conditions will counter weak cold air advection and allow T readings
to reach the 70s. Surface high pressure advancing east on Tuesday
will have flow returning onshore for just a day (or less). A
partially cloudy day with a subtle veering of the lower level
southerly wind will provide a familiar day of above normal
warmth...back in the lower 80s by day`s close. A somewhat dry cold
frontal passage Wednesday will swing winds around to offshore
through Thursday night. Light precipitation is expected in association
with the frontal passage. A much weaker backing pressure gradient
should not make for an inland wind issue...although offshore
flags will likely go up by late Thursday evening. The story will
be the cold late week air mass that fills in behind this frontal
boundary. 85H temps do fall between 0-5 deg C going into the weekend
that will translate to...wait for it...near normal diurnal (weekend)
temperature behavior. Early Saturday light QPF the ECMWF is hanging
on to may be a stretch with the limited available moisture. A somewhat
sharp trough passage across NE Texas during that time may support
the lift for this light precip...all liquid with a relatively deep
above freezing layer up to 6-7 k feet (per the GFS). 31

MARINE...
Moderate to strong W-NW winds will persist over the Gulf waters tonight
and slowly decrease after midnight. Will maintain the Gale Warning
over the Gulf waters but change the Bays to a Small Craft Advisory
as winds are expected to decrease very early this evening. Considerably
lighter W-NW winds are expected Monday as weak high pressure settles
over South Texas. Low pressure will develop in the lee of the
Rockies on Monday night and the pressure gradient will begin to
tighten. The onshore flow will increase on Tuesday. Lighter winds
expected on Tuesday night in advance of a cold front. The cold front
will cross the coastal waters early Wednesday with an offshore
flow developing in the wake of the front. Offshore winds expected
through Thursday as high pressure settles over Central Texas.
Surface high pressure moves east on Thursday night and sfc winds
will become easterly through Friday night. Another front will
cross the coastal waters early Saturday. SCA conditions possible
behind the front next Saturday.

The W-NW component to the winds will drive water out of Galveston
Bay and tide levels are very low at Morgans Pt and Manchester. A Low
Water Advisory will be extended through 03z tonight. Water levels at
Manchester are almost 2.0 feet below normal. Recovery in the upper
reaches of the bay are expected to be slow.  43

FIRE WEATHER...
Will maintain the RFW for the western third of SE TX through 23z. Although
RH values never reached 25 percent, winds gusting to over 40 knots and dry
fine fuels such as grasses created elevated to critical fire weather
conditions. RH values over the west are between 30 and 40 percent.
RH values could be a bit lower on Monday but winds will be considerably
lighter on Monday so a RFW is unlikely at this time. 43

949 PM CST Sat Jan 21 2017

.DISCUSSION...
Continuing to see scattered showers/isolated thunderstorms develop
and move across SE TX this evening, all out ahead of the main cold
front (which appears to be just outside the CWA along a Palestine/
Granger/Cotulla line). Some activity also appears to be forming on
the front as well, but the better lift (likely from a passing vort
max) looks to be moving across areas just along and south of I-10.
Inherited POP/WX grids seem to have this covered so did not make a
lot of changes with this update. 41

.PREV DISCUSSION...  /ISSUED 409 PM CST Sat Jan 21 2017/

Jet core advancing north out of the Rio Grande and streaming
across south central state. This strengthened slightly veered
westerly flow...along with the low-mid level advection of a Valley
dry air mass...has cleared skies out to clear. Full sun to the
surface...with a westerly component to the surface wind
field...has allowed some locations in (and south-west) of the city
to touch the lower 80s. Generally a day in the middle to upper 70s
with an anticipated clear evening allowing temperatures to quickly
fall into the low to mid 60s shortly after sunset. Enhanced PVA
with lingering moisture ahead of a nearing cold frontal boundary
keep slight NE forecast area evening rain chances in place. Hirez
models show a 20-30 percent chance of -shra (possible rogue storm)
to clip the far northern counties. Sea fog just off the coast will
pull back to the shoreline in the coming hours...locally dense in
the evening as the region falls just downstream of an approaching
cold front.

The upper trough axis will be east of the region by 18Z Sunday...
with the associated cold frontal passage to occur from the early
overnight Sunday morning hours through the late morning hours.
Strong offshore winds in this front`s wake will reach advisory
criteria by 9 or 10 AM and maintain these magnitudes through
around this time tomorrow. Recent rain has saturated the ground
enough that shallow rooted trees may topple within these strong
daytime northerlies. Transitory ridging at all levels Monday will
weaken offshore winds with backing mid-upper flow drawing up a
warmer southwesterly air mass...85H temps will cool to the 4-5 C
range tomorrow afternoon during the brunt of the CAA and warm
back to around 16-17 C by Tuesday morning. Thus...after a relatively
cooler Sunday in the 60s and a Monday in the 70s...upper 70 to
lower 80 afternoons will be the theme Tuesday. A weak cold frontal
passage early Wednesday will regulate warming to the low to mid
60s once again. Slight rain chances will be painted across the SE
forecast area/Gulf Wednesday just ahead (or along) the boundary
as it travels offshore by Wednesday noon.

Mid to late week weak upper troughing over the MS River Valley...
with surface ridging enveloping the state...has northeast winds
veering to east through Friday. A relatively dry and cold frontal
passage slated for early Saturday will allow an arctic based
chilled air mass to spill into the region over the weekend.
Subfreezing mid-level air reaching the coast Saturday night will
lower overnight (weekend) minimums to under 40 F. There are slight
POPs in place early Saturday and...depending on the arrival of the
coldest lower-middle layer air in relation to the highest downstream
moisture...the mention of frozen precipitation may work its way
into future forecasts. 31

Notes: A big layer of bright white mixed with light to dark grey, thick, flat, puffy, low stratus clouds looked to cover the whole sky in northwest and west Houston, TX during the early morning. Big to small, bright white, maybe some bright white mixed with light to dark grey, thick, flat, some puffy, low and high stratus clouds looked to cover most of the sky in west Houston, TX during the mid and late morning, and early afternoon. A big layer of bright white mixed with light to dark grey, thick, flat, puffy, low stratus clouds looked to cover the whole and sometimes most of the sky in west Houston, TX during the mid and late afternoon. A big layer of bright white mixed with light to dark grey, thick, flat, puffy, low stratus clouds looked to cover the whole and sometimes most of the sky in northwest Houston, TX during the late afternoon and evening.  A big layer of bright white mixed with light to dark grey, thick, flat, puffy, low and maybe sometimes high stratus clouds looked to cover the whole and sometimes most of the sky in northwest Houston, TX during the night. The wind speeds looked to be calm in northwest and west Houston, TX during the early morning. The wind speeds looked to be calm with moderate and moderately strong gusts in west Houston, TX during the mid and late morning, and afternoon. The wind speeds looked to be calm with some moderate and maybe some moderately strong gusts in northwest Houston, TX during the late afternoon, evening, and night. It felt cool in northwest and west Houston,TX during the early morning. It felt a little cool in west Houston, TX during the mid-morning. It started to feel warm in west Houston, TX during the late morning. It felt very warm in west Houston, TX during the early and mid-afternoon. It felt warm in northwest and west Houston, TX during the late afternoon. It felt a little cool in northwest Houston, TX during the evening and night. There was a 30 to 90 percent chance for rain for Houston, TX during the mid afternoon through the late night. There was a dense fog advisory issued for the whole Houston, TX area during the early and mid-morning. I think there was another dense fog advisory issued for the coastal areas of Houston, TX during the night. There were a few flood advisories, watches, and warnings, along with severe thunderstorm warnings and maybe a tornado warning issued for the heavy showers and thunderstorms that passed through the Houston, TX area during the mid and late afternoon, evening, and night.


Summary: A big cluster of light to mostly really heavy rain passed through most of the Houston, TX area during the mid and late afternoon, evening, and night. A really heavy thunderstorm passed through west Houston, TX were I work during the mid-afternoon. Light rain with flashes of lightning and low rumbles of thunder followed me from where I work in west Houston, TX to where I live in northwest Houston, TX during the late afternoon and early evening. Light rain with lightning and low rumbles of thunder was still falling at my house in northwest Houston, TX during the late evening. A really heavy shower with maybe some flashes of lightning and low rumbles of thunder passed through on my way from Dominoes in Northwest Houston, TX to my house in northwest Houston, TX during the early night. The last round of light to really heavy rain, lightning, and thunder started to pass over my house in northwest Houston, TX, sometime during 8 pm and continued on until sometime during 11 pm. I didn't see any flooding, just huge puddles near the gutters of the streets. I didn't see, or hear about any storm damage, or tornadoes forming.


Thoughts: A very active very warm/rain day. I didn't expect it to get so warm and to get that much rain, but thankfully the heavy rain moved away quickly causing little harm, another than maybe some flash flooding.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
316 PM CST Fri Jan 20 2017

DISCUSSION...
Showers and a few thunderstorms have begun to develop near the
Victoria Crossroads this afternoon, with additional development
expected through the remainder of the evening hours as a 140 knot
upper level jet slides across the region. Little has changed in
overall expectations with storm evolution as 30-40 knots of
effective bulk shear per SPC mesoanalysis will promote organized
multicellular to possibly supercellular thunderstorms.

Environmental conditions remain favorable for the development of
large hail as mid-level cooling resulting from the passage of an
upper trough axis results in lapse rates steepening to 7-8 C/km
this evening with forecast soundings advertising wet bulb zero
heights around 8500 feet. (Heights between 7000 and 11000 feet are
usually good indicators of large hail development, assuming other
environmental conditions are also favorable for strong
convection.) These steep mid-level lapse rates will also promote
strong momentum transport, allowing for a damaging wind threat to
materialize as well. While hail and damaging winds will remain the
primary threats, afternoon surface analysis does show an area of
surface convergence or a possible warm frontal boundary along the
Highway 59 corridor. Updrafts along this boundary may be able to
ingest enough horizontal vorticity to promote a brief tornado or
two, especially as surface winds south of the boundary back
towards the southeast by late afternoon.

With regards to a heavy rain threat, thunderstorms near the
Victoria Crossroads this afternoon have produced an estimated
1-1.5 inches of rain and stronger cells will be able to produce
similar 1-2 inch amounts as they move across Southeast Texas
through this evening. Flow is not uniform and storm motion will be
very quick, but repeated development along the Highway 59 boundary
will need to be monitored for producing locally higher rainfall
amounts and minor flooding issues. Overall, expect thunderstorms
to gradually increase in coverage through the remainder of the
afternoon with scattered to numerous thunderstorms shifting east
of the region after midnight tonight. Patchy fog development is
expected again after midnight, with fog lingering into mid-morning
Saturday.

A second disturbance will dive across Texas from California on
Saturday, resulting in the development in a surface cyclone on the
Southern Plains. Showers and a few thunderstorms will be possible
mainly north of Interstate 10 during the day Saturday with
increasing lift from the upper disturbance overspreading Central
and East Texas. The departure of the upper disturbance Saturday
night will drag the surface cyclone and an associated Pacific cold
front eastward, with much drier air, an end to rain chances for a
few days, and increasing winds expected behind the front by Sunday
morning. Gradient winds behind the front will result in 20-30 MPH
northwest winds across the region on Sunday with stronger winds
30-35 MPH along the coast. Wind gusts may exceed 40 MPH Sunday
morning and afternoon and Wind Advisories will likely be needed.

Dry conditions with temperatures in the mid 60s to mid 70s are
expected Monday and Tuesday next week, with a weak cold front by
mid-week bringing near seasonal temperatures (highs in the lower
60s, lows in the lower 40s) and a chance for some light rain.

Huffman

.MARINE...
Showers and thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and this
evening, and some of the them could become strong or severe. Light
to moderate south to southwest winds will persist until a strong
cold front moves through the waters Saturday night. Before the
front arrives, there is still a chance for mainly late night
through morning fog development, and some of the fog could become
dense. Very strong and gusty west to northwest winds along with
very rough bay waters will develop behind the front Saturday night
through Sunday evening, and a gale watch is currently in effect
for that time period. This watch will most likely need to be
upgraded to a gale warning for parts of the area, and low water
advisories will probably be needed too. Look for winds and seas to
gradually come down Sunday night through Monday. Onshore winds
return to the area Monday night and strengthen on Tuesday. This
generally light to moderate onshore flow persists until the next
cold front arrives on Wednesday. 42

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Strong and gusty west to northwest winds on Sunday will likely be
high enough for elevated fire weather conditions, but relative
humidity values are still expected to be too high (in the 40s). On
Monday, humidities drop into the 30s but winds are weaker. At this
point, still not anticipating any fire weather watch or red flag
warning. 42

Big to small, bright white, maybe some bright white mixed with light to dark grey, thick, flat, puffy, low, maybe high stratus clouds started to cover only most of the sky in northwest Houston, TX during the early night. The wind speeds looked to be calm with maybe some moderate to moderately strong gusts in northwest and west Houston, TX during the early morning. The wind speeds looked to be calm with moderate gusts and some occasional moderately strong gusts in west Houston, TX during the mid and late morning and afternoon. The wind speeds looked to be calm with maybe some moderate and moderately strong gusts in northwest Houston, TX during the late afternoon, evening, and night. It felt cold in northwest and west Houston, TX during the early morning. It felt cool in west Houston, TX during the mid and late morning. It felt cool to a little cool, almost warm in west Houston, TX during the early and mid-afternoon. It felt cool west Houston, TX during the late afternoon. It felt cool, almost cold in northwest Houston, TX during the late afternoon, evening, and night. There was a 60 to 100 percent chance for rain for the Houston, TX area during the morning and a 30 to 60 percent chance for rain for the Houston, TX area during the early afternoon. There were still some river flood advisories, watches, and warnings left over from yesterday's rain. There also was a dense fog advisory issued for the whole Houston, TX area during the early night. There might have been a dense fog advisory issued for the coastal areas of Houston, TX, sometime during the morning. I don't remember seeing, or hearing about any other watches, warnings, or advisories issued.

Summary: Every area of Houston, TX got at least some rain during the morning and early afternoon hours. Moderate to moderately heavy rain was falling continuously from my house in northwest Houston, TX to where I work in west Houston, TX during the early morning. Light to moderately heavy to really heavy rain fell continuously, where I work in west Houston, TX during the early, mid, and late morning, through the early afternoon. There was no new flooding reported, or damages, that I know of. Just some more big puddles.

Thoughts: Lots of heavy rain this week in Houston, TX with some cooler temps. It looks like these cooler temps will stick around through early February with a few warm weather days in between.

There were still some isolated clusters of light to really heavy rain crossing through different areas of Houston, TX during the afternoon, evening, and maybe night. I saw light to really heavy rain with some loud thunder and bright flashes of lightning at my house, during the early morning, before sunrise. Light to moderately heavy rain was falling on my way to work in west Houston, TX from my house in northwest Houston, TX during the early morning. I saw some on and off light to moderately heavy rain in west Houston, TX during the rest of the morning and early afternoon. Some light drizzle looked to be falling on my way home in northwest Houston, TX from west Houston, TX during the late afternoon. Light drizzle looked to be falling on and off at my house in northwest Houston, TX during the evening, early night, and maybe late night. I didn't see, or hear about any damage, other than flooding from the showers and thunderstorms.

National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
603 PM CST Wed Jan 18 2017

.AVIATION...
Storms are continuing to move out to the east this evening but we
are expecting another round of activity overnight/toward sunrise,
with most of this progged to be over the southern half of the CWA
(should the models verify). In the meantime...we are already see-
ing the development of low clouds/patchy fog in its wake. IFR and
LIFR conditions will likely prevail for most sites overnight. 41

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 359 PM CST Wed Jan 18 2017/

SHORT TERM (Tonight through Thursday Night)...
A broken line of showers and thunderstorms extends from near Moss
Hill southwest to Freeport and out into the Gulf of Mexico. This
line will continue to push east into southwestern Louisiana over
the next few hours, clearing the forecast area between 7 and 9 PM
CST this evening. Some modest training within this line has
resulted in rain totals approaching 1-1.5 inches in parts of
southwest Harris County this afternoon, but with the main line
shifting east... the heavy rain threat will shift east with it.
May see at least a lingering heavy rain threat in southern
Liberty, Chambers, and Galveston counties as this line exits
through the remainder of the evening as a 20-25 knot low level jet
ahead of this line on the Lake Charles VAD Wind Profiler feeds
additional moisture across these counties.

Drier conditions will briefly settle in across the region this
evening before another disturbance approaches the region after
midnight tonight. Afternoon water vapor analysis shows an upper
low stretching from northwest New Mexico to western Kansas and as
this trough swings into the Central Plains tonight and Thursday,
an associated trough axis will drag across Texas.

Increasing divergence ahead of this axis will overspread the
region after midnight tonight, resulting in another round of
scattered to numerous showers developing southwest of the region
and spreading northeast during the early morning hours on
Thursday. While rainfall totals during this time are forecast to
be (much) lighter than what was observed this morning (0.5-1 inch
along and south of Highway 59), will need to keep an eye on any
remnant boundaries left over from today`s rain that may serve as a
focus for higher rainfall amounts. Starting to see a signal for
this possibility in the 18Z NAM and latest runs of the RAP
guidance. As of now, the most likely culprit for any kind of
enhanced rainfall would be the front that our current showers are
pushing east along (especially if it does not move as far east as
model guidance indicates)... which would affect areas east and
southeast of the Houston metro.

With the main trough axis clearing the region midday Thursday,
drier conditions will overspread the region from west to east with
clearing skies and highs in the upper 60s to low 70s during the
afternoon. Partly cloudy skies and lows in the mid 50s to low 60s
are forecast on Thursday night.

Huffman

LONG TERM (Friday through Wednesday)...
Unsettled weather will quickly return on Friday as an upper trough
just off the West Coast swings into the Southern Plains. Warm air
advection showers will spread inland during the morning with
increasing lift and instability from heating resulting in
scattered shower and thunderstorm development by Friday afternoon. A
130 knot upper level jet moving across the region during this time ahead
of this trough as well as increased upper level forcing, combined
with mid- level lapse rates approaching 7 C/km and 0-6 km bulk
shear values 50-55 knots, may result in a threat for a few strong
to severe thunderstorms. Will need to keep an eye on how later
guidance evolves with timing (as this is a bit faster than what
00Z guidance was indicating).

Height falls associated with a secondary disturbance dropping
farther south across Texas on Saturday will induce a surface
cyclone over the Southern Plains, with scattered showers and
thunderstorms on Saturday and temperatures in the low to mid 70s being
quickly replaced by Sunday as drier and cooler conditions become
established behind a Pacific front sweeping across the region.
Wind Advisories will likely be needed in the wake of this front
with strong northwest winds 20-30 MPH possible for much of the day
Sunday. Recent rainfall should mitigate against more widespread
fire weather concerns, but will need to keep an eye on how dry the
air is behind this front for possible fire weather issues.

Otherwise, shortwave ridging builds in across the region at the
beginning of the upcoming week with dry conditions persisting
through Tuesday before another cold front reaches the region on
Wednesday.

Huffman

FIRE...
Look for a strong front to move through the area Saturday night
with windy and dry conditions developing in its wake through
Sunday night and Monday morning. Fire weather watches and/or red
flag warnings might be needed on Sunday due to the strong winds,
but at this time it looks like relative humidities will not get
low enough. 42
