The episode as NWS HGX wrote it up.
Afternoon thunderstorms developed and produced some hail, gusty winds and flash flooding.
The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at May 14, 2:13 PM CST, 22 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX 313 PM CDT SAT MAY 14 2016 .DISCUSSION... 19Z surface analysis has cold front from just north of Nacogdoches across towards Temple. Area radar are showing widespread thunderstorm activity over C Texas into the Brazos Valley with more isolated storms initiating over SE Texas including the Houston area. A sea breeze was noted moving north from the coast and has initiated some isolated storms from Chambers county to northern Galveston/southeast Harris counties. As expected storms have been multicellular but more pulse type. Instability estimates seem to be too high and CAPE may be closer to 1500-2000 J/kg. Peak heating is just being reached so may be another hour or two of building instability. Convective temperatures are close to being achieved with temperatures already in the mid to upper 80s. With pulse storms developing, it will be possible for more activity to develop over the area as outflow boundaries collide. Potential is there for an isolated severe storm with hail. Storms may produce brief heavy rainfall and lightning. Overall the forecast looks on track for the rest of the afternoon and evening based on available convective allowing models (HRRR, WRF ARW/NMM, Tx Tech WRF). Look for activity to begin to end from 01z to 04z this evening. Again the main threats will be pulse severe storms with hail/gusty winds, lightning and brief heavy rainfall. Sunday may be more of a recovery day for the atmosphere as far as moisture/instability are concerned. Cold front pushing into the area today/tonight should retreat north tomorrow as short wave and jet streak approach Texas from over Mexico. Models generally have a tough time resolving these features coming out of Mexico in sub-tropical jet or in this case a southern branch of polar jet due to split flow. As such there are still timing issues between the synoptic models and perhaps even the WRF models. WRF ARW and the Tx Tech WRF ARW seem to have a better handle on this scenario than the WRF NMM which does not show much activity. Tx Tech WRF shows convection starting towards the Rio Grande Valley moving across S Texas into SE Texas 12-15Z Monday. This timing is very close to the ECMWF/Canadian solutions. The NAM seems to be speeding up its timing compared to previous model runs but not producing as much QPF. GFS is a good 6 hours slower than the rest and has more QPF after 18Z Monday. This also corresponds to when a good moisture plume moves over the area with precipitable water values near 2 inches. The ECMWF/Canadian may be faster moving this higher moisture over the region and thus producing much more QPF. Think that 60/70 PoPs work for now and certainly think there is a threat for heavy rainfall. Think a good 1 to 3 inches of rain will be possible areawide for this event. With this much moisture over the region there will probably be some isolated higher amounts more than 5 inches. Where those isolated amounts occur will be related to mesoscale influences and possibly where inflow/convergence can by maximized. Flash flood guidance for 3 hour rainfall rates shows 3-5 inches of rain before flooding can be expected for the area. A flash flood watch will not be needed at this time but may need to be considered later in the week with additional rainfall. There still looks like at least 2 peak times for additional heavy rainfall. The first time frame looks to be Tuesday night into Wednesday as another front moves into the region. SPC even has SE Texas in a day 4 slight risk for severe storms. This will be in addition to the heavy rainfall threat. An additional 1 to 3 inches of rainfall will be possible during this time. A more favorable set up for heavy rain exists late Wednesday night into Thursday as the upper level trough digs into the S Rockies and jet stream flow becomes more diffluent. All three of GFS/ECMWF/Canadian produce quite a bit of rainfall into Friday morning next week. Needless to say the coming week will be a challenging week of forecasting since timing jet streaks coming across Mexico will be tough to do. The reality is that any additional rainfall across the area beyond Wednesday may require a flash flood watch. Rainfall amounts for the week could top 5 to 7 inches of rainfall. This looks rather reasonable when looking at WPC 7 day rainfall forecast. Overpeck && .MARINE... Tonight's light onshore flow will be weakening as frontal boundary stalls in SETX. Winds will be increasing Sunday as gradient tightens will falling pressure in the lee of the Rockies. SCEC conditions possible Monday morning through early Tuesday. Potent upper level disturbance Monday will likely bring a round of storms to the Upper Texas Coastal waters and some may be strong. A cold front moves into Southeast Texas Wednesday and by Wednesday afternoon again another round of storms will be possible. East or northeasterly flow will follow through Wed night. Not very confident yet on how far south the Wed front will go and this could have big impacts for favored location of storms. Tides will remain around 1/2 to 1 foot above normal most of the week. 45 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

THE FOG IS SHALLOW AND WILL BEGIN TO BURN OFF WITHIN AN HOUR OR SO OF SUNRISE. LATER TODAY, A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH INTO SOUTHEAST TEXAS.
