$$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 Jul 6, 5:17 AM CDT, 3 hours 50 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 6, 5:17 AM CDT, 3 hours 50 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 517 AM CDT Tue Jul 6 2021 .SHORT TERM [Today Through Wednesday Night]... Starting off the morning with an active radar. Speed convergence and coastal troughing helping to focus storms into southwest counties early this morning and 2+". May have an MCV forming in SW Matagorda county as well which could further enhance rain rates there. Expecting storms to continue to shift inland this morning with continued redevelopment in the coastal waters and immediate coastal areas until the coastal speed convergence diminishes and the focus starts shifting inland. CAPE by 10am should be reaching the 1300-1700j/kg range and storm motions around 10 knots/PW 1.8-2.0" so heavy downpours look likely. Rainfall rates of 2"/hour are likely and approaching 3" occasionally until late afternoon and by then storms should slightly drier air aloft and a little more wind in the profile storms may speed up and lessen the accumulations. Temperatures today will be moderated by the precip and cloud cover through early afternoon. If storms move further inland then could get some more sun and temperatures over the south could be too low by a few degrees but 85-87 should be the top. Northeastern counties will probably be the "driest". Storms should taper off in the early evening hours with active storms still hanging out offshore on the tail end of the speed max passing through the coastal/waters areas with the 250mb shear axis stalled out over the CWA from SW to NE. Wednesday morning starts over the water again then shifts into the coastal counties especially the southwestern counties then following the typical summer pattern focus inland in the afternoon. Well to the east of the region TS Elsa moving NNW/N and trying to reorganize after it's Cuba interaction. No significant track changes as it continue northward aiming for impacts all along the western Florida peninsula today and early Wednesday. 45 .LONG TERM [Thursday Through Tuesday]... Rain chances will begin to diminish slightly on Thursday as upper- level low pressure over Southern TX shifts to the west/southwest while upper ridging builds into the central CONUS. That being said, conditions for diurnally driven showers and storms will remain favorable through the remainder of the week and into the weekend. A tightening surface pressure gradient will enhance moisture transport to the region, generally keeping PW values at or above 2.0 in through Saturday. This, combined with convective temperatures in the mid-80s and the daily inland propagation of the sea breeze boundary should prove favorable for the development of scattered showers and storms mainly during the daytime hours. As we've seen over the past couple of days, any stronger storms that do develop may produce brief periods of localized heavy rain. Despite this, widespread flooding impacts are not anticipated at this time. Global model solutions begin to diverge a bit towards the end of the weekend and into the beginning of next week. The general evolution of the synoptic pattern should surround the approach of a mid/upper shortwave trough by late Sunday/early Monday. This feature remains more amplified in the GFS compared to the EC, placing the northern half of the CWA within the favorable right entry region of an associated weak upper jet streak. The resultant enhancement in divergence aloft may be conducive for more widespread/heavier rainfall through Tuesday, though current model QPFs do not indicate the potential for any flash flooding. Daily high temperatures should generally remain below normal given continued broken to overcast cloud cover and scattered precipitation. Temperatures may trend closer to normal values by early next week depending on the extent to which scattered rainfall continues, though in general highs should remain confined to near 90 across most inland areas. Overnight lows should remain in the mid/upper 70s inland and around 80 near the coast. Cady && .MARINE... Relatively calm conditions continue to persist offshore, with winds generally remaining around 10 knots and seas remaining light. Despite this, mariners should remain cognizant of the possibility of showers and thunderstorms as the wet pattern of the last few days continues through mid-week. While rainfall coverage should be fairly scattered, there is a potential for some stronger storms to develop which may produce heavy downpours and gusty winds. By the end of the week and into the weekend, onshore flow is expected to strengthen to around 15-20 knots with seas also building to around 5 feet. This will likely require cautions and/or advisories across the nearshore and offshore waters. Rainfall chances begin to diminish slightly during this time. Cady && .AVIATION [12Z TAF Issuance]... An annoying recurrence of LIFR ceilings across the north this morning and has just recently improved. Main impacts should be SHRA/TSRA. Short term GLS/LBX but next will be SGR/HOU 11-14z and then probably IAH/CXO 14-18z. IFR conditions for visibility restrictions in the heavier downpours. VFR around 18z most sites and should stay that way until around 06z when lower ceilings spread in from the west and southwest followed by SHRA/TSRA PSX- LBX-GLS working inland 09-15z Wednesday. 45 && .CLIMATE... Huntsville was the big rainfall winner yesterday of the ASOS sites with 2.54" that puts their July total at 2.95" and that will help them recover from the June deficit. A few of the Harris county gages and surrounding sites popped with 2+" as well for yesterday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
