Arctic Front will Arrive Friday
A significant winter storm will likely impact large portions of the state this weekend. Winterization protection measures for hard freezes and prolonged cold should be completed by Friday afternoon.
Classic arctic front will progress across the state on Friday with significant post frontal temperature falls and rapid advancement of the freezing line southward. Cold front appears to reach SE TX in the evening hours on Friday. Temperatures will quickly fall Friday night into Saturday morning. Cold air continues southward Saturday with likely slowly falling temperatures through the day with the freezing line advancing toward the I-10 corridor Saturday evening.
Hard freezes look increasing likely for areas north of I-10 Sunday AM and for a larger part of the area Mon AM including the Houston metro area. Wind chills Saturday into Sunday are likely to fall into the 10’s and 20’s across much of the Houston area.
A significant winter storm looks to impact much of the state late Friday into Sunday with accumulations of ice and snow.
Travel across large portions of the state from late Friday through much of the weekend will become extremely dangerous due to winter precipitation accumulations and brutal cold.
Preparations:
Proper winterization of any exposed pipes/plumbing will be needed to prevent infrastructure damage. Sprinkler systems must be shut off and properly drained.
Pets/livestock will require proper shelter to protect from the cold temperatures and wind chills.
Tropical plants/vegetation will require maximum freeze protection. Unprotected tropical vegetation will be killed and even protect vegetation will likely suffer heavy damage.
Persons should limit outdoor exposure during the cold. Utilize heating sources properly to reduce the risk of fire and carbon monoxide poisoning.
All cold weather preparations should be completed by Saturday afternoon prior to the arrival of the cold front.
