Low to high white alto stratus clouds looked to cover most of the sky, at my house and neighborhood, in northwest Houston, TX, during the morning, evening and night. Low to high white alto stratus clouds looked to cover most of the sky, at my house in northwest Houston, TX and Katy, TX, during the early afternoon. There was a brief break in the clouds, where the sky became mostly clear, at my house in northwest Houston, TX, during the late afternoon. There was a 40 percent chance for rain for the Houston, TX area. I did not feel, or see any rain drops. The wind speeds were calm with some moderate to moderately strong gusts. The day felt warm, almost cool to a little cool. with a little cool to cool wind.
Thoughts:
Not sure when or if the cold has already passed over the Houston, TX area but I did not feel any dramatic temperature change or see any rain or rain/front clouds, so I am not sure. Starting to feel more like fall.

VFR conditions have begun across the area with the cold front now located offshore. The gusty northerly winds should be coming down to 5 to 10kts within the next few hours for all the inland TAF sites. GLS and maybe LBX will continue to see gusts up to 20 to 25kts through the night. The northerly winds pick up again tomorrow for the entire region, but should be lighter than today. Fowler && .PREV DISCUSSION /Issued 218 PM CDT Mon Sep 28 2020/... .SHORT TERM [Rest of Today through Tuesday Afternoon]... The cold front that moved through SE Texas this morning is now over the Gulf waters. In the wake of the front winds turned northerly and increased to 15-20 MPH with gusts of up to 30 MPH on occasion. A Wind Advisory is in effect for most of SE Texas through early tonight, continuing along the inner coastal regions and Barrier Islands through Tuesday morning. Cooler and drier air mass has filtered into the northern third of the CWA and is expected to continue to expand southward and across the rest of the CWA during the rest of the afternoon and evening hours lifting and clearing skies as it does so. This air mass has also cooled temperatures today, with highs expected to only reach the mid to upper 70s. Tonight, mostly clear skies are expected with low temperatures dropping into the 50s! It will definitely be a cool and crisp Tuesday morning, maybe even a bit chilly in some locations thanks to the moderate to strong gusty winds. For the rest of the day Tuesday, sunny skies are on tap along with gradually subsiding northerly winds and temperatures only reaching the upper 70s to low 80s. Sounds like a delightful late September day for SE Texas...enjoy. 24 .LONG TERM [Tuesday Night Through Monday]... Cool nights (lows mainly in the 50s/60s with mostly clear to clear skies and no rain) and warm days (highs mainly in the 80s with mostly sunny to sunny skies and no rain) can be expected. There will be just a subtle warming trend Wednesday through Thursday before the next cold front (much weaker compared to this morning`s boundary) moves through the area Thursday night through Friday morning. High pressure behind this front that is centered well to our north will move off to the east at the end of the week and over the weekend, and this will allow for a weak onshore flow to come back to the area. Another weak front looks to possibly enter the area Sunday night or Monday morning. 42 .MARINE... Strong northerly winds, with gusts possibly close to gale force, can be expected tonight in the wake of this morning`s cold front. Winds and seas should begin subsiding late Tuesday into midweek. A reinforcing but much weaker cold front is forecast to move into the waters late Thursday night or Friday morning. Onshore flow (weak to occasionally moderate) returns to the area over the weekend as surface high pressure behind the second front quickly moves off to the east. Another weak front could sag into the area from the north in a Sunday night-Monday morning time period. 42 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
