HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Arctic air is moving down the Plains, and we are now predicting the coldest February temperatures in 122 years to reach Houston by Tuesday morning.
A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for southeast Texas. It will be in effect from Sunday afternoon through Monday afternoon.
A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant snow, sleet or ice accumulations that may impact travel. Sporadic power outages will be a possibility. Pipes and sprinkler systems may burst if not properly cared for in advance.
Experts say you should plan to stay put for at least a day given where you are Sunday night because travel may be extremely hazardous Monday.
* Hypothermia will be a possibility for those not dressed appropriately. Brutally cold wind chill readings of -10 to 10 degrees will be likely Monday through Tuesday morning.
Temperatures will remain stuck in the 30s all weekend, then the winter storm and arctic air will blow in Sunday night and Monday morning.
