 White alto stratus clouds looked to cover most of the sky, at my house in northwest Houston, TX and where I work in the Heights, during the early morning.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 320 PM CDT Tue Sep 29 2020/

SHORT TERM [Rest of Today through Wednesday]...

Mostly sunny skies will prevail for the rest of today with high
temperatures reaching the low 80s and dewpoints in the upper 30s to
low 40s. Breezy conditions will continue for most of SE Texas, but
winds are expected to subside gradually overnight. Lows tonight will
once again be in the low to mid 50s (slightly higher along the inner
coastal locations and Barrier Islands).

Another beautiful day is on tap for Wednesday with mostly sunny
skies and high temperatures a few degrees higher, likely reaching the
mid 80s. Winds will turn more west to southwest throughout the day
Wednesday and likely be at 5-10 MPH. 24

LONG TERM [Wednesday Night through Monday]...

There has been little change made to the long term forecast. A dry
northwest flow aloft will remain in place while a series of weak
cold fronts move across the area resulting in a stretch of cool nights
(lows in the 50s/60s) and warmish days (highs in the 80s). The first
weak front enters our northern counties Thursday afternoon and sags
southward and through our entire area by Friday morning. The main feature
with this boundary will be a slight increase in northeast winds after
its passage. These winds will come back around to the southeast for
the first part of the weekend as high pressure moves off to the east.
It still looks like moisture levels will remain starved before the next
weak front`s arrival during the Sunday-Monday time period, however there
are some model indications of possible rain development across some
of our far north and northeast counties. For now, will only indicate
5%-10% rain chances for that area.

We`ll also be monitoring the northwest Caribbean-Yucatan area for possible
tropical development toward the end of the week, over the weekend and
on into the start of next week. It is still too early to know if and
when any influence this system (if it develops) will end up having on
our area. Keep up with the latest outlooks from the National Hurricane
Center.  42

MARINE...

Winds and seas will continue to come down as high pressure builds into
the area, and expect all caution/advisory flags to be lifted tonight.
A light onshore flow is still expected to resume by late tomorrow and
on into Thursday as the high shifts off to the east. A weak reinforcing
cold front should bring light to moderate northeast winds by Thursday
night or Friday, and caution flags might be needed for our offshore
waters. Southeast winds come back for the weekend before the next weak
cold front moves through the area late Sunday or early Monday. Northeast
to east might end up setting up for the first half of next week, and
we`ll have to see if any tropical development moves into the Gulf and
has any influence on our area. 42
