How to Stay Safe

  1. Prepare for Cold Temperatures:
    • Cover plants and insulate outdoor pipes to prevent freezing.
    • Bring pets indoors and check on elderly neighbors.
  2. Drive Carefully:
    • Wet roads and freezing temperatures can create icy conditions. Take it slow.
  3. Dress Warmly:
    • Layers, hats, gloves, and scarves are essential as wind chills make it feel even colder.

The Week Ahead

After the storms and cold front, Texas will see clear skies, but the cold temperatures will linger. Stay warm, stay safe, and keep an eye on local weather updates for any changes.
