Ryann2. I'm meeting you outside in half an hour.
Yes.
0Well, although grammatically correct, both of your sentences semantically sound unnatural since we, usually, use the verbs going, having, taking, coming to talk about the future in place of the auxiliaries (will, would). For example: We are having a party next week; I'm going to be a teacher; She is coming to London tomorrow

Both are grammatically correct, but the more idiomatic ones that we usually hear are these:
It's going to snow tomorrow.
I'll meet you outside in half an hour.
