Hard freeze watch as arctic blast approaches, chilly Wednesday afternoon
You've got 24 hours to get those preps done before the Polar Express comes screeching into the station. Howling winds will drain in dangerously cold air, resulting in single-digit and negative wind chills. Limit time outside for you and your pets, especially during the coldest parts of the day. At least two nights of hard freezes are likely, in addition to scattered power outages from winds and bitter afternoons. Good wind/solar supply should help the grid's demands, but be ready for anything and that includes major travel implications. After shivering our way through Christmas, New Year's looks to be quite the treat with temperatures rising above average for much of the nation!

Chilly Wednesday with highs in mid-50s
Take advantage of today's quiet weather to make your final preparations for tomorrow's arctic blast. Gas up the car, get those non-perishable foods, wrap pipes, cover plants, the whole shebang before dangerous cold plows in around midday tomorrow. Wind chills could get close to zero and this will be the coldest air since the Presidents Day freeze 2021. One bit of good news is that icy roads are much less likely this time except in areas where sprinklers or other pipes coat a street. Weather should be clear and cold for Christmas.

Wednesday morning weather forecast
Preparations for our dangerous arctic blast should be completed by Thursday morning! Weather should remain cool and quiet tonight and Wednesday with just a slim chance for a shower. Major arctic blast will arrive by Thursday afternoon sending temperatures down into the teens and 20s by early Friday. Wind gusts of 30-40 mph will also mean dangerous wind chill values near zero late Thursday and early Friday. Hard Freeze Watch is in effect for SE Texas from Noon Thursday - Noon Saturday. Wind Chill Watch is in effect from 6 PM Thursday until Noon Friday. Scattered power outages due to the strong wind will be possible late Thursday into early Friday. At least we are not expecting any snow or ice with this event, just chilly temps. Still make sure your home is winterized with your pets, plants & pipes protected. Also don't forget to wear extra layers while outside during this cold spell. Much warmer temps look to return by the middle of next week!
