What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at Jul 8, 12:15 AM CDT, 43 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 8, 12:15 AM CDT, 43 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
1215 AM CDT Thu Jul 8 2021

.AVIATION [06Z TAF Issuance]...

Showers and isolated thunderstorms seem to be moving into coastal
(and SW) portions of SE TX rather quickly at this time. Will keep
the mention of VCSH/VCTS in for mostly our southern sites through
these next 6-8hrs. MVFR/IFR CIGS remain possible for the northern
site overnight/early tomorrow morning. Scattered activity through
the afternoon should be north of the I-10 corridor, with the next
round of storms developing/moving into the coastal counties later
in the evening. 41

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...  /ISSUED 248 PM CDT Wed Jul 7 2021/

.FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR COASTAL AREAS THROUGH
FRIDAY MORNING...

SHORT TERM [Tonight Through Thursday Night]...

A broad upper level low over South Texas and a weak surface low in
roughly the same area of South Texas and a weak coastal trough of
low pressure will focus periods of showers and thunderstorms near
the middle and upper Texas coast through Thursday night. SE TX has
received a bit of a lull this afternoon and that is allowing some of
the heavier rain over Jackson and Matagorda counties to drain.
However, continued heating this afternoon should spawn scattered
shra/tsra by late afternoon into this evening. Am expecting rainfall
to increase in coverage later tonight along the coast as the sfc low
slowly deepens and the inflow on the east side of this feature
increases and both surface and speed convergence increase. Am
expecting rainfall to increase along the coast by 06z with locally
heavy rain possible along the coast and just inland. Will let the
current Flash Flood Watch run as configured but if heavy rain pushes
a bit further inland, will need to expand the Watch to include
inland portions of the coastal counties and possibly include Wharton
county. Forecast soundings show PW values between 2.20 and 2.40
inches and jet dynamics look very favorable with a weak splitting
jet over SE TX.

Not a lot of change for the rest of Thursday into Thursday Night as
the upper level and surface feature remain nearly stationary. Low
level directional and speed convergence will remain strong and upper
level winds remain favorable. PW values remain between 2.20 and 2.50
inches so the potential for heavy rain will persist. One additional
concern for Thursday night into early Friday is some extra level
upper level support with a departing 45 knot speed max placing SE TX
in the favored RRQ. This feature should help to enhance rainfall
over the SE half of the region. Some of the CAMs are suggesting some
rather heavy rainfall totals between 06-12z Friday.

Clouds and rain cooled air should keep MaxT values a little below
climo but overnight lows should remain near climo for the next
couple of days. 43
