Weather Impact Alert: Winter mix possible in Houston this upcoming weekend
KHOU • • nation
Key Points:
- A Weather Impact Alert has been issued for Southeast Texas for Saturday into Sunday due to the potential for winter weather, including a mix of rain, ice, and snow.
- The forecast hinges on the interaction of moisture from a Pacific low-pressure system and cold Arctic air moving south from Canada, which could create winter precipitation even along the Gulf Coast.
- Temperatures are expected to drop into the 20s by Sunday morning, with highs only reaching the 40s, increasing the likelihood of freezing rain and ice accumulation.
- Ice accumulation could severely disrupt travel and potentially impact the power grid if significant freezing rain occurs.
- The forecast is still several days away with low confidence, so details may change; residents are advised to monitor updates
