Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
1157 PM CDT Tue May 8 2018

.AVIATION [06Z TAF Issuance]...

06Z forecast is essentially a continuation of the previous
forecast, with tweaks in the first hours to align with
observations and extended for winds becoming lighter tomorrow
evening. While observations remain at 10 miles at all terminals,
satellite fog imagery does show some fog cropping up along the
coast and just west of CLL. So, continue with a brief period of
MVFR at CXO and LBX, with some MIFG at College Station. Otherwise
VFR across the area, with winds picking up again for tomorrow
afternoon before weakening again tomorrow night.

.UPDATE...

The forecast tonight looks on track with only some minor
adjustments for ongoing trends. Winds should continue to decrease
and decouple allowing for better radiational cooling. Satellite
imagery still shows some high cirrus moving across the area but
cloud cover should not be enough to affect cooling. Moisture
should recover overnight from day time mixing which may allow for
some patchy fog mainly to the west and southwest of Houston for
Wednesday morning.

.AVIATION...

Not much change in the weather setup - southerly winds should
become light and variable tonight, with only high clouds as far as
ceilings are concerned. Fog looks to crop up again tonight, but
again mostly to the west/southwest of the terminals. Have MVFR fog
at CXO and LBX, with some MIFG at SGL. If there`s a bit more of a
push by fog towards the terminals, LBX and SGL may be too
optimistic a forecast right now. Expect tomorrow to show little
change again.
