HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We are in for some delightfully chilly weather Thanksgiving Day, but stormy weather returns this weekend. We now have an ABC13 Weather Watch for Saturday with severe storms possible.
How much cooler will it be for Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving morning will have a chill in the air as temperatures will start off in the mid-to-upper 40s and with a northeast breeze it will feel about 5 degrees colder. It’ll be a bit chilly if you’re heading downtown to the H-E-B Thanksgiving Day Parade with temperatures warming through the 50s during the parade. We’ll have lots of sunshine to push temps into the mid 60s for the afternoon. If you don’t want to bundle up and watch the parade downtown, remember that you can watch it live on ABC13 starting at 9 a.m.
Will the weather still be nice for Friday?
Yes! The temperatures will be similar to what we experience on Thanksgiving, but there will be less sunshine as clouds increase ahead of Saturday’s storm system.
Why is there an ABC13 Weather Watch for Saturday?
Severe storms are possible again on Saturday as a travel-disrupting storm system blows through the Plains. Large hail and isolated tornadoes look to be possible at this time here in Southeast Texas. These storms will occur ahead of a cold front arriving Saturday night that should bring a cold start to the month of December. This weather system will also bring widespread snow across the northern Plains and Midwest, so it could cause travel delays over the holiday weekend.
Are any winter storms or freezing weather in our forecast?
Not at this time, but we’re keeping an eye on the potential for frost or a light freeze around Tuesday. For now we are predicting a low of 39 in Houston on Tuesday morning, but it’s possible the air could come in several degrees colder depending upon how much snow falls in Plains over the weekend.
What is happening in the tropics?
Tropical development is not expected in the Atlantic Basin over the next 7 days. The last day of hurricane season is this Sunday, November 30th. For a thorough update and in-depth video on what’s happening in the tropics, head to our tropical update page.
