Severe Weather System Brings Chill and Chaos to Houston this Weekend
A powerful cold front is expected to sweep through the region on Saturday, bringing with it a chance of severe weather, including large hail, damaging wind gusts, and brief, isolated tornadoes. The National Weather Service has issued an ABC13 Weather Watch for the area, cautioning residents to be prepared for the worst.
As the storm system moves into the area, temperatures will plummet, making it feel like winter by Monday. Daytime highs will only reach the 40s, with a small chance of lingering rain showers in some areas. However, the cold front is expected to bring widespread snow across the northern Plains and Midwest, leading to travel delays over the holiday weekend.
The severe weather threat will be highest on Saturday night, when the actual cold front arrives. At this point, damaging wind gusts and large hail are more likely than tornadoes. However, if thunderstorms do develop in the afternoon, they could rotate, increasing the risk of tornadoes.
Residents are advised to stay tuned to local news and weather reports for updates on the storm system's progress. The National Weather Service has issued multiple alerts for the region, including a high-risk weather alert for damaging wind gusts and large hail.
In the aftermath of the cold front, temperatures will remain in the 40s throughout Sunday and Monday, with widespread rain showers expected to continue through the day. This will lead to chilly conditions, with a small chance of freezing overnight temperatures.
