I saw light to really heavy rain in west Houston, TX during the morning. There was no thunder, or lightning that I know of. I didn't see any lightning, or hear any thunder. The day was cloudy and very cold/freezing. There might have been some freezing rain/ice pellets in Houston, TX during the morning and afternoon. There also might have been ice on the road, but I don't know. The puddles on the road did look like they were becoming iced over, or were already iced over when I was on my way home from work during the early night, in northwest and west Houston, TX. It was also pretty windy with moderately strong and some really strong gusts. There was no damage seen, or reported, that I know of.

000 FXUS64 KHGX 070104 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 704 PM CST Fri Jan 6 2017 .UPDATE... Observations were running a touch cooler than what was in the forecast grids, so made a slight adjustment through tomorrow morning to bring them closer in line. While the resultant low temperature forecast is now a little colder than before, it does not look to notably change the end impacts, so previous headlines are all still appropriate. Tied to this, skies are clearing just northwest of our area this evening, and so I also brought that clearing into Southeast Texas just a little bit sooner as well. Luchs && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 533 PM CST Fri Jan 6 2017/ AVIATION... MVFR ceilings will become VFR overnight through tomorrow morning with SKC during the day tomorrow. Gusty north winds (especially in/around GLS) will gradually weaken overnight with much lighter north winds during the day tomorrow (except again in/around GLS where higher winds and gusts will persist into the afternoon). 42 PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 407 PM CST Fri Jan 6 2017/ DISCUSSION... Continuing to monitor as a few lingering bands of precip push off the coast. Conditions will continue to dry out as we move into the evening hours. Forecast soundings are indicating dry air filtering into the upper levels of the atmosphere and eroding down into the lower layers this evening. Model guidance also supports an area of high pressure moving in behind the moisture this evening. This should keep conditions dry throughout the weekend. The big story for this weekend will be chilly temperatures. Expecting lows to get into the low-mid 20s in counties north of I- 10, excluding Harris county. Therefore, a hard freeze warning has been issued for this evening beginning at 10 pm. To the south of this boundary and including Harris County, a freeze warning will be in effect beginning at 10 pm. Most places along the immediate coast will see freezing conditions for the first time this season. Harris, Fort Bend, and Wharton counties will begin to see freezing temperatures between 8 and 10 pm. For places not along the immediate coast, a freeze warning has been reissued for some of these counties that have already seen freezing conditions earlier this season. This is due to the abnormally warm temperatures that were experienced last week, which resulted in a false bloom in some vegetation. Winds will continue to be strong out of the north, into the evening and then lowering slightly overnight as the temperature gradient weakens. The wind advisory that is currently out, will continue through 6 am tomorrow morning. Wind speeds will lower by Saturday mid-day, and begin to veer out of the southwest by Monday morning. As the onshore flow returns, temperatures and moisture will also be on the rise beginning next week. Tuesday high temperatures will push into the upper 70s, resulting in another unseasonably warm few days. Hathaway MARINE...
