This evening through Saturday morning, we’re expecting light freezing rain to fall over South-Central Texas, the Hill Country, Central Texas, and the Brazos Valley. While it won’t be an ice storm, we anticipate a light glaze of ice on some elevated surfaces, such as bridges, overpasses, and even some untreated roads. This might lead to some travel challenges, particularly on bridges and overpasses. We hope to avoid widespread travel disruptions, but we do have some concerns about potential issues. For now, areas to the north and west of these zones should stay dry, which is great news as they won’t experience any winter weather. We’ll be keeping an eye on southern North Texas in case there’s a little freezing drizzle that develops tonight.

As for Deep South Texas and Southeast Texas, showers are expected tonight, but just above freezing, so there’s no need to worry about ice here! Temperatures should rise above freezing by late Saturday morning, bringing an end to the icy conditions and leaving us with just a cold rain. We might see some heavier rain and even a few storms across East Texas, Southeast Texas, and the Golden Triangle from Saturday afternoon into the evening. While severe storms with large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes aren’t anticipated, be aware that isolated flooding could happen, especially in areas that receive more than an inch of rain. Good news is that we’ll say goodbye to any precipitation chances in Texas by Sunday afternoon as the activity moves east.
Looking ahead to next week, we’re in for mostly dry conditions through at least Friday, so get ready for a return to those lovely springtime temperatures! However, please be mindful as wildfire danger is expected to increase across the western half of Texas.
