The National Weather Service placed most of Southeast Texas under Ice and Winter Storm Warnings.
These go into effect at 6 a.m. Saturday to 6 p.m. Sunday with widespread freezing rain blowing all the way down to the Gulf coast. Up to two-tenths of an inch of ice is possible in the Winter Storm Warning, which includes Harris County and all other counties with the exception of Brazoria, Calhoun, Chambers, Galveston, and Matagorda Counties.
Additionally, an Extreme Cold Warning is also in effect Saturday through Monday as an arctic airmass will move in, leading to a hard freeze and the chance for below zero wind chills Monday morning.
And on top of that, some areas have been issued an Ice Storm Warning. Up to half an inch of ice is possible in those area, which include Polk, San Jacinto, Trinity, and Walker Counties.
Power outages, tree damage, and travel hazards are possible due to the icy conditions.
