Storm Summary: There were still a lot of flood warnings in and around the Houston, TX area, from Harvey. Only light to moderate showers were reported on the east side of Houston, TX, during the morning and afternoon. No new storm damages, were reported. The reservoirs were still releasing water to the Houston, TX area, making flood waters rise even more than they were in some areas. Reportedly up to a foot in some areas that were already underwater.
My Storm Summary: There were still some strong 20 to 30 mph wind gusts with some possible 40+ mph wind gusts at my house in northwest Houston, TX. I didn't see, feel, or hear any rain drops. I saw some deep flowing flooded roads where I used to live in west Houston, TX and parts of northwest Houston, TX. I didn't see any storm damage.

Thoughts: Well it looks like we got the last of Harvey today. No areas of Houston, TX look to be receiving any more rain bands. I am also not seeing anymore gusty winds. So it looks like Harvey and all of it's heavy rain bands are finally gone. I am concerned about next week's forecast. They are expecting some more rain to fall in the Houston, TX area, next week. With some cool weather in the 60's and 70's, sometime in the middle of next week.

645 FXUS64 KHGX 302337 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 637 PM CDT Wed Aug 30 2017 .AVIATION... Harvey`s wrap around cloud cover continues to impact area terminals with mainly BKN/OVC decks around 6000 feet. Some -RA is possible with these clouds through around 03Z for UTS and CXO. These clouds should erode this evening and expect VFR conditions overnight and on through the day tomorrow. Look for NW winds this evening at inland TAF sites to decrease to around 5 to 10 knots but remain around 10 to 15 knots and gusty at GLS. Tomorrow`s winds should be WNW to NW around 10 to 14 knots with some gusts close to 20 knots possible. 42 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 350 PM CDT Wed Aug 30 2017/ DISCUSSION... Today marks the first step in a journey of many, many steps back towards normalcy in our area after the onslaught of Harvey. In the east, some lingering rain from Harvey`s back edge remains this afternoon. Otherwise, we have no rain, and the sun is beginning to break through from west to east. A lack of rain is an infinitesimal, but more than deserved prize for the large number of dedicated first responders, dispatchers, and volunteers who have put in so many hours of hard work under terrible conditions to help the citizens of Southeast Texas. After a period of drier weather into the weekend, potential for some showers and storms will return Sunday as a vort max rotates around the western ridge. NHC has marked an area in the Bay of Campeche as an area to watch for potential development. Since we`re already starting with a feature west of the Yucatan, this is a feature that we`ll have to watch - but at this time there is no model consensus that we should be any more or less worried than usual for impacts to our area at this time. What does seem apparent is that the strength and timing of an upper trough in the northern stream will play an important role. At this time, it`s simply something to check in on periodically, and a reminder that even after the impact of a tropical cyclone, we need to have our plans and supplies as ready as possible at any point in hurricane season, just in case. MARINE... Winds and seas continue to decrease from west to east across the Upper Texas Coast. Small Craft Advisories will hold on through the evening for areas east of Freeport. Winds and seas should decrease quickly tonight. Light to moderate west winds are expected tomorrow with light and variable winds for the end of the week. Winds become easterly over the weekend. Tide levels vary from more than 7 feet up in the Houston Ship Channel due to runoff to under a foot at Galveston North Jetty. The northwest winds today have helped move some water out of Galveston Bay to make room for the run off. Overpeck && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
