$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Houston/Galveston, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jan 8, 5:15 PM CST, 1 hour 7 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 8, 5:15 PM CST, 1 hour 7 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX 515 PM CST FRI JAN 8 2016 .AVIATION... CLUSTER OF STORMS WILL BE AFFECTING KHOU/KIAH THROUGH 02Z WITH BRIEF WIND GUSTS AND POSSIBLY HAIL. ADDED HAIL TO BOTH TAF SITES FOR THIS EVENING. A WEST WIND IS EXPECTED LATER TONIGHT AND THIS WILL SHUNT THE STORMS TO THE EAST BUT THERE IS A BRIEF WINDOW FOR LOW CLOUDS/FOG TO DEVELOP BEFORE WINDS INCREASE AND SCOUR OUT ANY REMAINING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. A BRIEF WINDOW OF CLEAR SKIES WILL DEVELOP BETWEEN 09-12Z BEFORE WRAP CLOUDS SPIN INTO THE AREA. WILL CARRY MVFR CIGS THROUGH SATURDAY WITH GUSTY W-NW WINDS. 43 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 311 PM CST FRI JAN 8 2016/ DISCUSSION... STARTING TO SEE AN INCREASE OF SHRA/TSRA ALONG AND NEAR THE UPPER TX COAST THIS AFTN AS THE WARM FRONT (OR POSSIBLY A WEAK SFC LOW) BEGINS TO DEVELOP/MOVE INLAND. RAIN CHANCES WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THIS EVENING WITH THE APPROACH AND PASSAGE OF A STRONG UPPR LEVEL DISTURBANCE FROM THE WEST. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF STRONG TO SEVERE TSRA WITH THIS FEATURE GIVEN THE VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES AND DYNAMIC JET STRUCTURE FOR THIS EVENING. HOWEVER..LIMITED DAYTIME HEATING ALONG WITH A VERY DRY AIRMASS OVER SE TX ARE SOME OF THE MAIN OBSTACLES TO OVERCOME FOR THESE STORMS TO DEVELOP. SPC'S DAY 1 OUTLOOK HAS MORE DETAILS. THE PASSAGE OF THE STORM SYSTEM/UPPER TROF THIS EVENING WILL ALSO DRAG A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS SE TX OVERNIGHT AND EARLY SAT MORNING. COLDER/CLEARING FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND AS WINDS ALOFT BECOME MORE NWLY WITH TIME. HOWEVER...AS IT HAS BEEN THE CASE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT THIS SEASON...THE RIDGING WITH WILL BE SHORT LIVED AS WE SEE THE RETURN OF THE SUBTROPICAL JET OVER THE STATE WITH ANOTHER UPPER TROF DIGGING INTO NRN MEXICO. AND THEN BY MON (WITH THE SFC HIGH MOVING OFF TO THE E/NE) WE SHOULD BEGIN TO SEE THE RETURN OF SOME LOW POPS (COASTAL WATERS/SW PARTS OF THE AREA)...BEFORE POPS SPREAD FURTHER INLAND (LATE WEDS/THUR) AS THE UPPER TROF MOVES IN FROM THE WEST. 41 MARINE... PATCHY AREAS OF DENSE SEA FOG WILL REMAIN A POSSIBILITY UNTIL 1-3AM UNTIL A PREFRONTAL TROUGH PUSHES THRU THE WATERS. AHEAD OF THIS TROF... WILL PROBABLY SEE SOME SCT SHOWERS/STORMS DEVELOP IN THE WATERS AS UPPER LEVEL CONDITIONS BECOME MORE FAVORABLE. MAY SEE SOME ISOLATED STRONGER CELLS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WATERSPOUTS AND POSSIBLY GUSTY WINDS. THREAT DIMINISHES AFTER MIDNIGHT ONCE WE SEE A WRLY WIND SHIFT. COLD FRONT ITSELF WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA EARLY SAT MORNING. WINDS WILL BECOME MORE NWRLY AND INCREASE TO CAUTION AND ADVSY CRITERIA. WINDS/SEAS BEGIN DIMINISHING SUNDAY THEN GRADUALLY VEER TO THE NE/E INTO THE MIDWEEK TIME PERIOD. 47 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
