BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) – A Tornado Watch has been issued for Houston, Grimes, Washington, Walker, Trinity, Austin, Waller, Montgomery, and San Jacinto Counties until 9pm.
The main threat for severe weather comes just ahead of and along a line of thunderstorms that will push through the area from west to east over the course of the afternoon and evening.
Strong wind gusts 75mph or greater will be the main threat, a few tornadoes, and in some instances, hail up to ping pong ball-sized will be possible.
Carry on with your Valentine’s plans, but have a way to receive alerts through about 9 pm this evening, where this system will clear things out rapidly and pave the way for a dry and mainly clear Sunday.
Updates can be found immediately if/when warnings are issued on your KBTX First Alert Weather app, and on air and online as necessary.
