HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — ABC13 Weather Watch has been issued for Saturday as a squall line could produce severe weather. Damaging winds, hail and a brief isolated tornado will be possible.
We’ll get to enjoy some delightful weather most of Thursday, but we’ll start the day with areas of dense fog mainly along the coast. Temperatures will warm rapidly in the the sunshine. Highs will top out around the 80 degree mark with light and variable winds.
What should we expect with the next storm system arriving Saturday?
It will initially bring in cloudy, breezy, and humid conditions. A passing shower is possible at any time during the day, but the thunderstorm chances will likely hold off until the evening hours. At this time we cannot rule out severe weather in our part of Texas. Keep that in mind for any Valentine’s Day and Mardi Gras plans. If you have outdoor plans for Saturday, we advise you to monitor the forecast this week while drawing up a “plan B’ just in case.
What’s the expected impact for the Knights of Momus Grand Night Parade in Galveston Saturday?
Sea fog and showers are possible during the parade, and while we cannot rule out thunderstorms, the current timing favors any thunderstorm activity to hold off until late in the night for Galveston. Since the storm timing is not yet set in stone, we would plan for a damp and humid day on the island with the chance for thunderstorms around parade time.
Could we get another freeze this season?
Sure, but we likely have to wait until near the end of February or beginning of March for our next chance of freezing weather if it were to occur. On average, Houston’s last freeze occurs around Valentine’s Day.
