Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
1209 AM CDT Wed Oct 10 2018

.AVIATION...
Radar much quieter at this time, but we could still see some iso-
lated showers overnight with the passage of the cold front itself.
The airmass may be worked over for much more than that. Otherwise
will have to keep an eye on visibility/ceiling restrictions these
next several hours with the development of patchy fog given light
to calm winds...low dewpoint spreads and wet grounds. The passage
of this cold front into the Gulf waters should usher in drier and
slightly cooler air into SE TX by this afternoon. VFR thereafter.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 955 PM CDT Tue Oct 9 2018/ 

Shortwave is pushing ne and out of the region. Convection is 
tapering off as overall lift/forcing weakens. Lingering boundary 
and outflows generally southeast of Highway 59 may still provide 
enough of a focus for isolated to scattered shra/tstms overnight, 
but overall coverage trend should be downward. Cold front itself 
is moving thru the Panhandle at this hour and should be moving 
into and thru se Tx during the morning hours Wed...with noticeably
drier air moving in during the afternoon hours. For the 
update...tweaked POPs and temps based on latest trends mentioned 
above. Also added some patchy fog.

As far as marine issues go...seas are in the 4-6 foot range at
10-12sec. These should go up another couple feet and periods
increase close to 13 sec overnight. Considering we have already
seen coastal flooding on Bolivar and the west end of Galveston
Island, suspect we'll see additional issues at the high tide late
tonight as wave run up will be even higher. Went ahead and
expanded the Coastal Flood Warning into coastal Brazoria County
where we'll probably see some flooding from San Luis Pass along
the Blue Water Highway and also Beach Drive in Surfside. 47
