A large winter storm is expected to bring freezing rain and sleet across Southeast Texas. Multiple Winter Hazards are in effect.
...FOR THE ICE STORM WARNING...
Significant icing is expected across our far northern counties Saturday and Sunday. An Ice Storm Warning is in effect. Total ice accumulations between a quarter and a half of an inch. Sleet accumulations less than a half of an inch. Dangerous to near impossible travel conditions and power disruptions are expected Saturday and Sunday across portions of the area. All preparations should be completed by now as conditions will be deteriorating through the evening!
...FOR THE WINTER STORM WARNING...
Heavy mixed precipitation expected. Total ice accumulations between one tenth and one third of an inch. Sleet accumulations less than a half inch. Power outages and tree damage are likely due to the ice. Travel could be nearly impossible. All preparations should be completed by now as conditions will be deteriorating through the evening!
...FOR THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY...
Freezing rain expected. Total ice accumulations up to 0.05 of an inch. Icy travel conditions are possible, especially on bridges and overpasses. Slow down and use caution while traveling. Prepare for possible power outages.
Dangerously cold wind chills are expected this weekend into early this week due to an Arctic front that pushed off the coast and ushered in the coldest temperatures of the season so far. With an Extreme Cold Warning in effect from Saturday evening through early next week, wind chills are forecast to drop into single digits below zero to 10 above zero. Remember to protect people, pets, plants, and pipes from the extreme cold.
Mariners: A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect through Monday for waters from High Island to the Matagorda Shipping Channel (0-60 NM), Galveston Bay, and Matagorda Bay.
La lluvia helada es mas peligrosa que la nieve, ya que se puede formar hielo en el pavimento. No conduzca cuando cae (o cayo recientemente) lluvia helada.
Multiple nights of well below freezing temperatures are expected, so be sure to take the proper precautions to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your home.
