Winter Weather

An arctic cold front arrives late Friday night, plunging temperatures well below average this weekend. An upper-level disturbance helps bring the potential for wintry precipitation, favoring the Edwards Plateau, Hill Country and I-35 corridor. Some light to moderate icing from freezing rain and sleet could impact road surfaces making them slick and hazardous. Temperatures will likely remain below freezing through the weekend over most of the Winter Storm Watch area, so there could be residual ice impacts on road surfaces even after the precipitation stops. Avoid unnecessary travel and take extra travel precautions if you do have to venture out.

As always, please remember to protect people, pets, plants and pipes.

Check local news stations and/or go to National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio https://www.weather.gov/ewx/ for updated information.
