Summary: The sky looked to be clear with alto stratus clouds scattered across at times, during the morning, afternoon, evening, and night. The wind speeds were light with moderate gusts, I think. It felt cool in the early and mid-morning, evening, and night. It felt cool, almost warm, during the late morning. It felt warm, during the afternoon. I did not hear about or see any rain anywhere in the Houston, TX area, during anytime of the day. A few drops fell on my cars windshield as I was on the 290 entrance ramp off of highway 6. Not sure if they were rain drops or condensation from somewhere, but there were no condensation looking clouds so I am thinking maybe from a moist atmosphere or off of a building structure of some kind.
Thoughts: Not much weather going on lately. Maybe some active weather on Saturday and Sunday!
Area Forecast Discussion

000 FXUS64 KHGX 012319 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 519 PM CST Sun Nov 1 2020 .AVIATION [00Z TAF Issuance]... VFR throughout. Any change would be subtle relaxing of winds and a small shift from northerly to northeasterly. Most changes are not significant enough to require much elaboration in the TAFs. && .PREV DISCUSSION /Issued 306 PM CST Sun Nov 1 2020/... .SHORT TERM [Through Tomorrow night]... The cool front is still making its way through the area bring in some cooler and drier weather. Not going to see a lot of the effects other than some cooler lows tonight in the mid to upper 40s and highs tomorrow around 70. Humidity will decrease as will overall getting to around 35-30% in the day making it quite pleasant with a northeasterly breeze. Overall, quite weather as the high pressure ridges over SETX and settling in. 35 .LONG TERM [Tuesday through Sunday Night]... Benign weather conditions continue throughout the week with a persistent high pressure system dominating the Plains. Warm south to southeast air advection will develop behind the surface high pressure late Tuesday through Friday. This will result in temperatures slightly warmer than previous days and a few degrees warmer than average for this time of year. Highs will mainly range from the mid 70s to near 80. A slight and gradual increase in surface dewpoints/relative humidity is also expected into the weekend. Upper level pattern changes toward the end of the week as a longwave trough develops over the Pacific Northwest and an upper-level low moves over the Gulf. Global models show a potential for active weather by Saturday and Sunday as low-level Gulf moisture increases (PWATS around 1.5 inches) and the upper-low pressure system moves through. There is still uncertainty given discrepancies between models; thus, have only kept slight chances for rain next Saturday and Sunday. 05 .MARINE... Moderate to strong northeast winds persist this afternoon in the wake of a departing surface cold front. Gusty winds from 20 to 30 knots are expected to continue this evening through Monday morning before northerly flow mixes out and a surface high pressure moves overhead. Building seas are also expected with values up to 7-8 feet offhsore. Given that, a Small Craft Advisory remains in effect through 12 PM CST Monday. Northeast winds will gradually veer to the east-southeast by Tuesday as the aforementioned high moves east of our region. Seas could increase offshore around 3 to 6 ft towards the end of the week thanks to tighter pressure gradients and increasing swells associated with Tropical Cyclone Eta over the western Caribbean. 05 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
