The sky looked to be clear with maybe some high white stratus clouds, at my house in northwest Houston, TX, during the early morning. Low, white, to grey/blue stratus clouds started to cover most of the sky, during the mid-morning. Low, white, to grey/blue stratus clouds covered most of the sky and sometimes the whole sky, through my travels in Copperfield, West Memorial, the medical center, the heights, and Katy, TX, during the late morning, afternoon, evening, and maybe night. A moderately heavy shower passed over my house in northwest Houston, TX, at around 10:30 am. I drove through another moderately heavy shower on my way to pick up my dad from the hospital with my mom in the medical center, at around 2 pm. I saw on and off light sprinkles and drizzle after that. I think I heard some low rumbles of thunder, during the late afternoon, or early evening. The rain was very scattered across the Houston, TX area. I did not see any lightning. The day was hot.
Area Forecast Discussion
Issued by NWS Houston/Galveston, TX
000 FXUS64 KHGX 100300 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 1000 PM CDT Wed Sep 9 2020 .DISCUSSION... Wind shift associated with shallow cold front is on the doorstep of nw/w parts of the CWA and should be filtering into the Brazos Valley overnight & maybe to a Trinity-Katy-Edna line by morning. Isentropic lift along the boundary will provide chances of shra/tstms thru the night and into the day Thurs. Appears the front is a bit ahead of schedule locally, and temps are also on the lower side of available guidance. Adjusted temps tonight-Thurs earlier this evening and didn`t make many additional ones since then. Cooler air will be most noticeable the further west & northwest one goes. 47 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 700 PM CDT Wed Sep 9 2020/ AVIATION [00Z TAF Issuance]... Showers/thunderstorms should linger over the CWA for another hour or so...with most sites with either a TEMPO or VCTS mention until 02Z. After all this activity winds down, the main issue should be the cold front trying to make its way down from North and Central TX tonight. Overall model consensus indicates a wind shift to the N/NE overnight...starting over the northern counties from 06-09Z, then into the central/coastal counties from 09-12Z. As such, this timing could allow for the development of some patchy low clouds/ fog during the very early morning hours. Did keep the mentions of MVFR/IFR CIGS and VIS in for this time frame tomorrow morning. As for the rain chances tomorrow, did also keep with the mentions of VCSH/VCTS for most sites given the expected shallow nature of the cooler/drier air mass and continuation of weak short-waves riding atop from the west. 41 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... College Station (CLL) 65 77 68 87 70 / 70 30 20 20 10 Houston (IAH) 77 90 73 93 76 / 60 50 20 10 0 Galveston (GLS) 82 90 79 91 82 / 30 30 20 10 10 && .HGX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... TX...High Rip Current Risk until 10 PM CDT this evening for the following zones: Brazoria Islands...Galveston Island and Bolivar Peninsula...Matagorda Islands. GM...NONE. && $$
