ABC13 Weather Watch Saturday for chance of severe weather ahead of strong a cold front

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.

Don't ruin our spring vibes with all that cold and wind!" ❄️ But wait, what if we get some nice warm days after it's all over? That would be awesome, right? 😎 Unless... unless you're one of those people who loves winter sports or something. In which case, bring on the snow! πŸ‚

OMG, this weekend is gonna be SO bad for Houston! I'm talking severe weather, like, large hail and damaging wind gusts πŸŒͺ️πŸ’₯. And don't even get me started on the snow in the Midwest - that's just crazy talk β„οΈπŸ˜². The National Weather Service is being super clear about it too, with multiple alerts issued for high-risk wind gusts and hail. I'm literally shaking my head thinking about how cold it's gonna be by Monday, 40s?! Brrr πŸ˜‚. Can't believe we're getting snow in the middle of February... anyway, stay safe, Houston! πŸ™
 
I'M GETTING SO SICK OF THESE WEATHER SYSTEMS THAT COME OUT OF NOWHERE!!! 😩😡 I MEAN, ONE DAY IT'S SUNNY AND WARM, THE NEXT IT'S SNOWING AND FREEZING LIKE CRAZY! 🌨️πŸŒͺ️ CAN'T THE WEATHER JUST MAKE UP ITS MIND ALREADY?!?!?! It's gonna be a total zoo in Houston this weekend, with hail and tornadoes and all that jazz. Stay safe out there, y'all!!! β›ˆοΈπŸ’₯
 
Ugh, another severe weather system is coming our way πŸŒͺ️! I'm not sure why people in Houston can't seem to get used to this kind of thing, but I guess it's just part of living in the Lone Star State. Anyway, I do hope everyone takes this weather watch seriously and prepares for the worst - I hate driving on icy roads 😬. On a positive note, at least it'll be cold, not sweltering hot like we usually are in Houston πŸ˜…. Snow in the northern Plains, though? That's just crazy talk ❄️!
 
omg, this weekend is gonna be so crazy in houston! i'm not sure if my car can handle all that wind πŸš—πŸ’¨. and ugh, 40s in december? brrr ❄️. i hope everyone has a backup plan for saturday night, cuz the severe weather threat is looking pretty intense β›ˆοΈ. i've got my emergency kit ready with flashlights, non-perishable snacks, and extra batteries πŸ’‘. anyone else preparing for this storm? πŸ€”
 
This reminds me of the debates we had about climate change and our preparedness for extreme weather events 🌨️. I mean, think about it, how's our infrastructure holding up? We're still struggling with power outages and flooding in the aftermath of hurricanes, and now we're facing a severe cold front that could potentially disrupt our daily lives? It's like, don't we have better systems in place to mitigate these kinds of risks? πŸ€” And what about the vulnerable populations, like the elderly and those with disabilities - how are they going to cope with the freezing temperatures and lack of access to heat and hot water? We need to make sure that our emergency response plans are in place and that everyone has access to the resources they need to stay safe during these kinds of events. 🚨
 
Ugh this weekend is gonna be a total bummer for Houstonians πŸ€•... Like, who wants to deal with snow in the middle of December? And then you gotta worry about hail and wind gusts too? It's like, can't we just have one nice day without any crazy weather? πŸ˜’ On the other hand, I guess it's good that they're being prepared for the worst... Stay tuned to your local news and all that jazz πŸ’». But honestly, who needs a holiday weekend when you've got snow and chaos in the mix? πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ
 
🌨️ just thinking about this weather system is giving me the chills πŸ˜… what's crazy is how unpredictable it can be - one minute you're dealing with hail and wind, next minute it's snowing like crazy in other parts of the country. anyone know if they've been through a storm like this before?
 
Ugh, just what Houston needed - more excitement for a holiday weekend πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ... I mean, who doesn't love bracing themselves for severe weather? It's not like anyone has plans or anything to do outside on Saturday night... and yes, because driving in the dark with hail is exactly what everyone was looking forward to πŸ˜’. On the bright side, it'll be "winter" by Monday, so we can all pretend we're in a festive holiday mood when it's literally freezing outside ❄️. Can't wait for those travel delays on the holidays too - nothing says "joy" like being stuck in traffic with snow and hail πŸš—πŸ˜©.
 
omg what's gonna happen in houston this weekend?! 🀯 severe weather is no joke and i'm so hyped for all the tech gadgets that are gonna be perfect for staying safe at home πŸ“΅πŸ”‹ from portable power banks to smart speakers with weather updates, we gotta stay connected and informed. πŸ’» but seriously though, who's ready for some hot cocoa and a cozy weekend indoors? β˜•οΈ 40s temps are no joke πŸ˜…
 
omg, this is not good 🀯... people need to be super prepared for this storm. it's gonna be cold and windy, like, whoa! β›ˆοΈ i'm from texas, we're all about sunshine and warm weather, so this is a shock. but seriously, stay indoors on saturday night, that's when the worst of it will hit. keep an eye on your pets, too - they can get super stressed in storms. and don't even get me started on driving... roads are gonna be slippery and visibility will be low. just take it easy and enjoy the coziness of hibernating indoors 😊
 
ugh, another weekend ruined by bad weather πŸŒ¨οΈπŸ˜’ i mean, can't we just have one normal weekend without a severe weather system coming in? it's like houston is the weather capital or something. and now they're saying snow in the midwest too? that's just crazy talk ❄️. and of course they have to warn us about damaging wind gusts and large hail on saturday night... just peachy. i swear, can't we just enjoy a nice day out without some freak storm ruining it for everyone? 😩
 
πŸ€” just wondering how they're predicting tornadoes on sat night when the cold front hits? like isn't that kinda contradictory? wouldn't it be more likely for those types of weather events to happen after the actual cold front arrives? πŸ“Š need some source on this one...
 
This storm system is gonna be a total bummer for Houston this weekend πŸ€•. I mean, I know some people love winter weather, but not when it's gonna ruin your outdoor plans and cause chaos πŸ˜’. And don't even get me started on the travel delays in the north - that's just a whole other level of crazy 🚧. On the bright side, if you're into that sorta thing, it looks like there'll be some epic snow scenes up north 🌨️. But for us in Houston, it's all about staying indoors and keeping our toes warm ♨️. I'm definitely stocking up on hot cocoa and cozying up with a good book this weekend β˜•οΈ.
 
The impending severe weather system in Houston this weekend is shaping up to be a doozy πŸ’¨πŸŒ¨οΈ. The National Weather Service's ABC13 Weather Watch designation sends a clear warning that residents should prepare for the worst-case scenario. As the cold front moves in on Saturday night, damaging wind gusts and large hail are likely to make an appearance 🀯. Meanwhile, the northern Plains and Midwest will be blanketed with snow, leading to travel delays over the holiday weekend ❄️.

It's also worth noting that the risk of tornadoes is elevated if thunderstorms develop in the afternoon on Saturday β›ˆοΈ. Residents should stay glued to local news and weather reports for updates on the storm system's progress πŸ“Ί. With temperatures plummeting to the 40s by Monday, it'll feel like winter has arrived early ❄️. I do hope everyone stays safe and prepared for this severe weather event 😊.
 
This severe weather system is getting me really anxious 😬... I mean, who wants to deal with hail, strong winds, and potential tornadoes? The fact that it's going to feel like winter by Monday is crazy - 40s in Houston, that's not exactly tropical! 🌞 But at the same time, I get why they're warning people - safety first, right? It's also weird that there's a chance of snow up north while we're dealing with rain and hail down here... just great, more chaos to deal with on top of the holiday weekend stress πŸ˜•. Guess everyone should be staying glued to their news and weather apps this weekend πŸ“±.
