Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Houston/Galveston TX
112 PM CDT THU MAY 19 2016

.AVIATION...
A strong line of thunderstorms will affect terminals between the
houston metro area and the coast between 18-20Z. Visibilities
will be reduced to 1-2 miles in heavy rain and possible gusty
winds of 20-30 knots. Some of these storms may also produce small
hail.

Behind the line of thunderstorms, a large rain shield will
continue moderate rain for a few hours before pushing to the east
of the forecast area. The biggest threat to aviation behind the
rain shield will be prevailing mvfr cigs this afternoon. vfr
conditions should return to all terminals by 02-03Z tonight with
MVFR ceilings likely again before sunrise.

Prevailing winds should be from the NE at 5-10 knots except in
the vicinity of stronger thunderstorms where higher gusts are
possible. Keehn

I have been watching a line of red on the radar since about 11:30am that looked like it was heading right for Stafford/Sugarland. I thought that line would've been here by now. Not that I want that red/orange, but find it interesting that it has moved so slowly. Thus far, just rain here, with a few claps of thunder. Had one clap that turned the lights off for a brief second.

Was about to say. There is no way that bow echo SW of Houston could not be severe tstorm warned.

[Rip76]

Yes it is.

A bit of a lightning show as well.
