Texas Storm Update
Severe winter weather is expected across Texas through Saturday, February 5, 2022. The National Weather Service said wind chills are expected Thursday and Friday mornings, with the possibility of temperatures dropping to the single digits in some areas.
It’s important to use caution during cold weather, as roads, bridges and sidewalks can ice over. Ice may also accumulate on power lines and tree branches, which could lead to power outages.
Please see important information below regarding power outages and energy conservation tips.
