Thoughts: Heavy showers and possible thunderstorms during the early morning, followed by scattered light to moderate showers with some moderately heavy showers, during the morning, afternoon, evening, and early night. The rain looked to have stopped when I looked at the radar, during the late night. The day was warm during the morning and afternoon. It started to feel cool, during the evening and then it felt cold, during the night. Some minor flash flooding in the Houston, TX area, during the early morning. No storm damage.

000 FXUS64 KHGX 110552 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 1152 PM CST Sat Feb 10 2018 .AVIATION... Cold front nearing GLS at 1130z per radar. Patchy light drizzle/rain near the coast with showers and a thunderstorm or two over the waters. Widespread LIFR/VLIFR across most of the region in the wake of the cold front. Fog still ongoing with visibilities of 1-3 miles being common. Throughout the night guidance appears to keep the ceilings down with minimal drying mainly just cooling with CAA. Upglide atop this cold layer will continue through Tuesday...slow improvement in the ceilings throughout the day just an overall slow increase in ceilings...300-800 feet increase from sunrise. We should reach MVFR 1000-1500 feet around 13-16z for most sites except near the coast. As s/w approaches mid Sunday morning through mid afternoon anticipate patchy light rain to develop and overspread the region. Some concern for freezing drizzle around CLL 12-15z with surface temperatures dipping AOB freezing. Slow rebound in temperatures Sunday. 45 && .MARINE... Dense fog looks to finally be vacating the bays but will linger for a few more hours in the nearshore waters. Winds should come up after 3 am and by 6 am winds will be flirting with SCA so have hoisted those flags. 45 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 940 PM CST Sat Feb 10 2018/ DISCUSSION... While the strong cold front is nearly to the coast this evening, we are still seeing some light rains in its wake across central portions of the CWA. The bulk of the stronger precip (including thunderstorms) are offshore and moving off to the E/NE. Colder/ slightly drier air will continue to filter down from the Plains overnight with temperatures falling to near freezing across our northern tier of counties. A second/strong shortwave is progged for the early morning hours and this pattern is favoring a very brief period of freezing drizzle (if enough moisture remains in the area). No changes for this part of the forecast with the up- date but did tweak POPS/WX grids a bit overnight to account for the ongoing trends. 41 PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 403 PM CST Sat Feb 10 2018/ Light shower activity over the southeastern forecast area leading an approaching cold front now moving across the northwestern forecast area. Temperatures will swiftly fall with the boundary passage...quite the temperature gradient with this strong front. Lower 40s across the far northwestern counties with lower 70s in and around Houston at 3 PM...or a 30 degree delta across 80 miles or so. This front is moving a touch faster than anticipated and should be pushing off the coast late this evening. Short range guidance just shows very light precipitation over the area...more focused over the southern CWA and maritime through the evening with more widespread light precipitation occurring further inland through Monday morning. Western Gulf jet stream (LFQ) positioning with weak shortwave ripples moving up the coastline within the southwesterly flow aiding in keeping more southern third CWA -shra activity alive through a (becoming) cold and overcast Sunday. This very cold air mass is very shallow...hugging the ground as it makes its way southward and it will remain this way through the short term. Thus...any overrunning light precipitation (drizzle, very light showers) will likely remain liquid as it falls through this very shallow (near) freezing layer on its way to the surface. There will be a brief window from around sunrise through 9 or 10 AM in which there may be cold enough surface temperatures of around freezing to support a wintry mix or freezing drizzle. No accumulations of ice are anticipated and this near-surface sub- freezing layer should dry and warm up through the late morning thus ending any minor threat for northern county winter weather. It will be a cold and overcast Sunday with little range between Sunday`s minimum temperature and the maximum temperature. Readings in the 30s and 40s are expected to remain steady or fall through the day. There will be little to no sun through the medium and long range forecast period. Reasoning is that Texas will fall on the northwestern edge of a developing Gulf upper ridge and this will provide the needed mid-upper level southwesterly flow over top a cooler lower level easterly wind pattern. This will create a warm air advection/overrunning scenario that will keep many mid February days and nights overcast. Slight to low end rain chances early to mid week from weak disturbances riding up along the western periphery of the aforementioned ridge and moving into greater than 1.3 inch pwat air...well above normal moisture levels for this time of year. Despite the overcast...onshore winds by mid-week spell a mid to late week warm up back into the 70s/morning 60s. The next significant chance for precipitation (showers/isolated storms) comes a week from now with a weekend cold frontal passage. 31 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
