Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
1155 PM CDT Sat Sep 28 2019

.AVIATION [06Z TAF Issuance]...
Showers nearing the coast with moisture plume nearing the coast so
have sped up the timing for a band of widely scattered showers to
move through in the fast low level flow. Given the flow over the
Gulf the rain chances may be decreasing by late morning as this
wedge of drier air arrives and subsidence in the mid levels
increases. In the short term may have a brief window at UTS for
MVFR/IFR ceilings 06-10z.
