000 FXUS64 KHGX 190242 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 942 PM CDT Mon Sep 18 2017 .UPDATE... A little bit of action early this evening as a cluster of thunderstorms slowed over southern Harris...northern Fort Bend and Brazoria Counties and produced a quick 2 to nearly 5 inches of rain in about two hours. These high rainfall rates lead to minor street flooding/ponding from downtown Houston across southeast Houston through the 8 PM hour. This first mentionable post-Harvey thunderstorm activity quickly weakened through 8 PM hour and radar has since become very quiet. Lower rain chances forecast Tuesday as a relatively drier air mass just offshore of the upper Texas coast comes onshore tomorrow. Flat zonal upper ridging with surface high pressure parked over the northern Gulf should aid in suppressing areawide TSRA activity. Anticipating more localized -TSRA tomorrow (along local breezes?) with 30% areal coverage or less from returning late morning through afternoon convection. 31 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 650 PM CDT Mon Sep 18 2017/ AVIATION... Cluster of storms, producing heavy rain (lightning and reduced visibility) around the Hobby and Sugarland terminals will last for another hour or two. Do expect all precip to taper off fairly quickly with the loss of heating. VFR conditions for the remainder of the evening. But with wet ground from todays precip, along with light wind and mclr skies, would anticipate some fog to develop. Confidence on timing/location/significance isn`t all that high but initial thoughts are reflected in the TAFs. Suspect they may need to be amended to be more pessimistic if anything. Otherwise, not quite as much available moisture is expected on Tue compared to today. So although we`ll probably see some sct tstms with daytime heating, areal coverage probably won`t be as widespread. Similar pattern should exist going into midweek. 47 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
