As an arctic blast approaches, Texas is preparing for a significant weather shift. ERCOT has issued a Weather Watch due to forecasts of extreme cold and potential wintry precipitation across various regions, including North Texas, Houston, and Austin. From Sunday to Tuesday, North Texas could experience freezing temperatures, with the possibility of light snow and ice in Houston. Many areas are at risk for a hard freeze, with growing confidence in snow and icy conditions. Residents across the state are advised to prepare for power outages and hazardous conditions as temperatures are expected to plunge dramatically. The National Weather Service has indicated that several parts of Texas, including Fort Worth and San Antonio, may see snow or freezing rain, raising concerns about a serious winter storm later in the week.
