Where I work in the heights area, during the early afternoon.
The heights area, getting cigarettes for my mom, during the late evening.
Summary: The day started out cloudy then became mostly cloudy, during the mid, or maybe late morning and stayed mostly cloudy, through the night. The wind speeds were light with moderate gusts. Light to moderately heavy and heavy showers and thunderstorms were scattered across the Houston, TX area, during the morning, afternoon, and maybe evening. I drove through a moderately heavy shower during the early morning, on my way to work. I heard distant rumbles of thunder from 1:30 to 3:00 pm with some light rain.
The day was warm.

000 FXUS64 KHGX 200032 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 732 PM CDT Mon Oct 19 2020 .SHORT TERM [Tonight through Tuesday]... Showers and isolated thunderstorms in the area have dissipated and focus shifts up to the stationary front just northwest of the CWA by a county. HRRR is very bullish on development on the boundary the next 3 to 4 hours...will leave in some slight chances for showers over the area from Caldwell to College Station to Crockett this evening but that is probably too generous. Skies should be a mix of partly cloudy early becoming mostly cloudy to cloudy. Warm night as WAA pattern remains in place and developing blanket of stratus helps to trap that heat. Tuesday looking more rain-free than today was as drier air intrudes and winds back slightly. 45 && .AVIATION [00Z TAF Issuance]... Although it is VFR that will be fairly short lived as SC/ST deck develops this evening and expands northward. Expecting MVFR conditions beneath the stratus deck in the 1000-2000 foot range and highest confidence of MVFR conditions looks to be CXO-66R northward between 03-09z. The MVFR deck will also likely lower and near UTS/CLL and dip into IFR at least briefly in the 10-13z window there. Skies quickly scatter out around 14-15z and VFR should prevail. Tuesday night looking like we could see some MIFG/BR starting late in the evening with more favorable radiational cooling profile. 45 && .PREV DISCUSSION /Issued 327 PM CDT Mon Oct 19 2020/... .LONG TERM (Wednesday through Monday)... On Wednesday, the upper flow over Texas will be kind of flat as the region lies on the western periphery of an upper high over the eastern U.S. and a weak short wave over the western plains. At the surface, weak low pressure will be over the southern Gulf of Mexico and this feature will allow for onshore winds to persist. The air mass will remain humid so can`t rule out an isolated shower from time to time but the lack of a well defined boundary and upper level support should keep most areas dry. Not a lot of day to day change through the end of the week as temperatures remain 5 to 10 degrees warmer than normal. A weak cold front will cross SE TX on Saturday but convergence along the front looks weak and PW values are meager, reaching only around 1.20 inches. Will keep the fropa dry for now but will watch trends as we near the end of the week. We should get a brief cool down on Saturday in the wake of the front with weak CAA but temperatures warm right back up again on Sunday as onshore winds return. Warm and humid conditions are expected Sunday and Monday as weak upper level ridging over the Gulf expands into Texas. Another cold front is expected to cross SE TX on Tuesday but both the GFS and ECMWF hang the upper level support to the west so the front will probably be a slow mover and the Canadian does not bring the front through until next Thursday. Ensemble guidance also seems to favor the slower solutions. 43 .MARINE... High pressure east of the region will allow for an onshore flow tonight. As weak low pressure develops over the southern Gulf, the flow between the high to the east and the low will allow for surface winds to back to the east and an east wind will then persist into Friday. A cold front will cross the coastal waters early Saturday and winds will back to the NE. High pressure building into the southern plains behind the front will move east very quickly and onshore winds will redevelop by late Saturday night. Onshore winds will then prevail through early Tuesday. Water levels could briefly reach 3.5 feet above MLLW on Wednesday as a persistent east wind brings slightly elevated water levels to the coast. Tides will probably remain near or just above 3.0 feet at high tide through the end of the week due to the persistent east wind. 43 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
