Freeze Warning:
HOUSTON – A freeze warning has now been issued ahead of our bone-chilling lows on Monday morning with feels-like temperatures in the 20s. Our freeze watch has been upgraded to a freeze warning as we get closer to Monday’s lows. We’re now under a freeze warning from midnight to 9 am Monday.
Monday’s Forecast:
Air temperatures drop to the upper 20 and low 30s across SE Texas. The coldest air we’ve seen this season.
And thanks to the wind chill, it will feel even colder!
Be sure to dress warm, bring sensitive plants inside as well as your furry friends. Check pipes but we won’t have to worry about a long deep freeze because temperatures warm-up the very next day.
Staying safe means we must prepare for the 4 Ps: People, Pets, Plants & Pipes.
People: We want to prevent hypothermia by covering all exposed skin with hats, gloves, scarves to prevent heat loss and limit your time outdoors.
Pets: Prevent hypothermia in pets by bringing them indoors, limit outdoor activity and consider a coat or sweater if they are showing signs of being cold - in or outside of the house.
Plants: Protect your plants by bringing the potted plants indoors and covering the rest with breathable blankets that are secure to the ground.
Pipes: Cover your spigots, wrap your pipes and keep your garage door closed if you have pipes in your garage.
Planning your mornings:
However, the cold air won’t last - our morning lows will jump by 26 degrees by Thursday.
Your Extended Forecast:
A short-lived cold snap, as we’ll warm back up into the 60s and 40s by Tuesday. After the taste of cold, temperatures will warm back to the 70s by the middle of the week.
