I think wavy alto stratus clouds looked to cover most of the sky, at my house and where I work in the heights area, during the early morning. I think the sky looked to be clear, where I work in the heights area, during the mid and late morning. The sky looked to be clear, where I work in the heights area, in Katy, TX, and west and northwest Houston, TX, during the early afternoon. The sky looked to be clear in northwest Houston, TX, during the mid and late afternoon, evening, and night. The wind speeds were calm with maybe some occasional moderate gusts. It felt cool, during the early and mid-morning. It felt warm during the late morning, afternoon, and early evening. It started to feel a little cool during the late evening. It felt a little cool, during the night. There was 0 percent chance for rain for the Houston, TX area. Some random light drops of rain fell on my car's windshield on my way to Katy, TX to pet sit a cat, during the early afternoon. No sure if they were rain drops or something else.

000 FXUS64 KHGX 032300 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 600 PM CDT Sat Oct 3 2020 .AVIATION... For the 00Z TAFs, some models are still hinting at possible patchy fog and maybe low cloud development overnight where a low T/Td spread occurs. Outside of these areas, VFR with winds becoming NW to N after the passage of a cold front during the day tomorrow. 42 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 259 PM CDT Sat Oct 3 2020/ SHORT TERM [Through Sunday Night]... High pressure remains dominate over the region through tonight with light winds and clear skies. The dewpoint depression across the northern Brazos Valley tonight looks to get fairly minimal, so there may be some patchy fog developing in low lying areas. There will be an increase of high clouds during the day on Sunday as a weak upper level low and associated cold front moves through the region. This FROPA won`t really be that noticeable other than a wind shift and a reinforcement of dry and cool air. Some CAM guidance is showing some very light, isolated showers popping up in Polk and Liberty counties Sunday evening with the FROPA, but if these were to materialize, I believe they will be mainly just some virga. Temperatures through the short term will be similar to what we`ve seen the past few days. Daytime highs in the low to mid 80s with overnight lows in the low 60s (Galveston may stick to near 70 as ocean temperatures remain in the upper 70s to low 80s). Fowler LONG TERM [Monday through Saturday]... Surface high pressure makes a return on Monday after Sunday night`s FROPA continuing the stretch of dry, pleasant weather through midweek. The tropics may be making a lot of noise by midweek, but as of right now SE Texas` chances of direct impacts. Mariners should continue to monitor the forecast in the coming days as swells and seas will be increasing thanks to the active tropics (more on that in the Marine section below). By the middle of next week, Tropical Storm Gamma should still be in the Bay of Campeche/southern Gulf, and there may be another tropical system trying to get its act together in the eastern Gulf. Our region should remain fairly protected from these systems as the surface high pressure remains over Texas and an upper level jetstreak over SE Texas should help to shear away any tropical moisture headed our way. Though we will continue to monitor the tropics, and the current flare up in the tropics should serve as a reminder that this (very active) hurricane season is still ongoing. Fowler MARINE... Fairly benign conditions for the next couple days with light winds and low seas prevailing. TS Gamma should linger around the Yucatan and Bay of Campeche into the midweek time period. Northeasterly flow should mostly prevail into midweek, if not longer, across the upper Texas coastal waters. Swells associated with Gamma should be filling into the region as we head into Tue/Wed and a combination of SCEC/SCA flags (& higher rip current risk) may eventually be warranted. In addition, water levels will be running above normal so will also need to begin keeping an eye on the potential for minor coastal flooding around times of high tide going into that same time period. Seas/water levels may remain elevated into the second half of the work week should the disturbance in the cntl Caribbean make its way into the Gulf as several models currently advertise. 47 TROPICAL... Tropical Storm Gamma was nearing hurricane strength as it made landfall in the northeastern Yucatan Peninsula shortly before noon. It is expected to meander around the tip of the Peninsula through the weekend and its strength will depend on the amount of land interaction it has. Gamma is expected to drift into the Southern Gulf and Bay of Campeche through next week while maintaining tropical storm strength. The next area of potential tropical development, which the NHC has been monitoring the past few days, is in the southern Caribbean right now and is expected to move towards the western Caribbean in the next few days. It now has a 30 percent chance of formation in the next two days, and a 60 percent chance of formation in the next five day. It is expected to eventually move into the eastern or central Gulf of Mexico by next week. Two other areas that the NHC is monitoring are out in the Atlantic. The more northern tropical wave is located near 30N and has a 10 percent chance of formation within the next five days. The more southern tropical wave is located near 10N, and has a 20 percent chance of formation in the next five days. Both of these systems are expected to move into an area of strong upper level winds which will inhibit development. Fowler && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
