$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Jan 18, 6:22 AM CST, 14 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 18, 6:22 AM CST, 14 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
622 AM CST Wed Jan 18 2017
.AVIATION.../12Z TAF/
Area radar shows convection moving from SW to NE across much of
the Houston area impacting KSGR/KHOU/KIAH/KDWH. Thunderstorms are
most intense between KHOU/KIAH terminals. Storms seem to be moving
along a stalled frontal boundary that may be slowly moving north
as a warm front. This boundary essentially bisects Houston with
KSGR/KIAH on the cold side and KHOU on the warm side. Think
convection should be ending around 13-14Z for these terminals.
Based on HRRR trends, think another round of convection will be
possible for area terminals around 17-18Z through 21Z. This again
will affect ceilings and visibility. Generally north of the
boundary can expect IFR/MVFR CIGS. South of the front IFR/MVFR
CIGS may be more likely to become MVFR or VFR briefly this
afternoon. Expect more IFR conditions tonight as front finally
pushes through the area and winds turn more to the W/NW. Another
short wave trough axis may push through early Thursday morning
prompting a line of storms to form on the slow moving front. May
finally get some clearing Thursday afternoon.

.MARINE...
Sea fog will be an issue again this morning with a stalled frontal
boundary across SE Texas. Southerly winds will continue today
allowing for mainly moderate seas. Winds turn west to northwest
tonight into Thursday as the stalled front finally pushes off the
coast. Southerly winds return Friday into Saturday. A strong cold
front will push off the coast early Sunday morning with gale force
winds possible Sunday and very rough seas.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 356 AM CST Wed Jan 18 2017/
DISCUSSION...
A stationary front was waffling over the inland portions of the
2-tiers of counties near the coast early this morning. At 3:00
AM the front appeared to be near a line from Wharton to Sugarland
to downtown Houston and then through south-central Liberty County.
An upper level shortwave trough was moving overhead and helping to
enhance the convection along the front. The strongest storms since
1:00 AM have been along the highway 59 corridor between Sugar Land
and Wharton. Still think isolated severe storms are possible early
this morning. However, locally heavy rainfall was becoming a
bigger threat. Some factors that are coming together for locally
heavy rainfall include moisture pooling along the front through
700 mb; 30 to 40 knot inflow at 850 mb; and a 200 to 300 mb jet
streak moving over the Hill Country and western areas of SE Texas.
Because of this, mentioned the possibility of locally heavy
rainfall through noon. The upper support for locally heavy
rainfall will weaken this afternoon; although, widespread showers
and thunderstorms will continue.
Rain and thunderstorms will continue over the area through tonight
and into Thursday as the upper low over New Mexico moves
northeastward into the Central Plains. Chances for isolated severe
storms with locally heavy rainfall look better Wednesday night
into Thursday morning as the main upper trough and the right-rear
quadrant of the upper level jet move overhead.
For the remainder of the period, a break is in store for Friday as
an upper level shortwave ridge moves across the state. Another
bout of rain and thunderstorms will arrive Friday night and
Saturday as another upper trough moves across the Southern Plains
into Texas. Sunday is looking to be a windy day as the upper and
surface low get wrapped up over the Mississippi Valley and the
pressure gradient tightens across the area.
