Summary: White alto stratus clouds looked to be scattered across the sky, during the morning, afternoon, evening, and night. I believe there was a 30 percent chance for rain for the Houston, TX area, during the morning. There may have been some light to moderate showers in and around the Houston, TX area, during the early morning. I did not see, or feel any rain drops. It felt cold, during the morning. It felt cool, during the early afternoon. It felt very cool, during the mid and late afternoon and evening. It felt cold during the early night. The wind speeds were moderate with moderately strong gusts.
Thoughts: A really cool and breezy day. Not looking forward to the near freezing temps.

000 FXUS64 KHGX 300210 AFDHGX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 810 PM CST Sun Nov 29 2020 .AVIATION... A mix of MVFR/VFR cigs will give way to clearing skies tonight. Winds will remain gusty tonight into Monday. 43 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 508 PM CST Sun Nov 29 2020/ SHORT TERM [Tonight Through Monday Night]... Strong cold air advection ongoing with overnight lows likely dropping into the 30s and lower 40s. Downwind of the water a little milder tonight...but there the winds will remain strong and gusty through the night. May need to consider a Wind Advisory for the barrier islands. Breezy conditions continue on Monday...with winds gradually diminishing Monday afternoon and especially Monday night as ridge of high pressure builds in and winds slacken. These decreasing winds and cold air mass in place will allow for radiational cooling and our coldest overnight mins so far this season. A Freeze Watch has been issued given the potential for freezing temperatures for all but coastal counties. Luchs/Reilly LONG TERM [Tuesday Through Sunday]... After the cold start on Tues, slightly warmer afternoon temperatures are expected as onshore winds return to the region (with the surface high shifting east). The S/SE flow will be strengthening through the evening as the next deepening upper low dives down into the Southern Plains. This should help draw moisture back into the region from the Gulf, but these latest runs appear to be less aggressive (than prior ones) with available PWs (now peaking at/around 1.1"). However, with the progged dynamics (combination of the upper low/trof and possible surface coastal low), rain chances should be good across most of the CWA. The associated cold front should move through SE TX Weds night. Of some concern, may be the lagging upper low itself and a lingering wrap around cloud deck/possible light precipitation. Otherwise, will be expecting another shot of cold/dry air into the area for the rest of the week. We`ll also have to keep an eye out for more freezing to near freezing overnight temperatures Weds night/Thurs morning (if we do clear out) as well as Thurs night/Fri morning. 41 AVIATION [18Z TAF Issuance]... MVFR deck behind the front is beginning to break up, but have a very brief bit of MVFR at the sites where ceiling has been slowest to break up at the outset. After that, focus turns to gusty northwest winds through the rest of the forecast period. MARINE... No changes to the current configurations for Small Craft Advisories as they are now in effect for all our marine waters through the over night hours into tomorrow morning. Strong north winds to prevail as seas/bay waters remain elevated. Conditions should improve over the bays by tomorrow afternoon as high pressure builds into the region. Per some of the guidance, we may be just above the thresholds for a Low Water advisory for tomorrow/Mon afternoon. Looking ahead, onshore winds are set to return Tues/Wed as the high moves off to the east. Scattered activity will be possible ahead of the next cold front that should move through the area by Wed night. A generally moderate offshore flow is forecast to develop behind the front and it should persist through the end of the week. 41 HYDROLOGY... Only river flooding concern...San Bernard near Boling. Forecasts have trended lower...now may crest near or just below flood stage. Will continue to monitor but not planning to issue a warning just yet. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
