A significant winter storm will impact Central and Southeast Texas on Tuesday, including cities like Brownsville, San Antonio, Fredericksburg, Austin, College Station, Victoria, Houston, and Beaumont/Port Arthur, where blizzard warnings have been issued. It marks the first time blizzard warnings have been issued for Beaumont/Port Arthur.
Tuesday began with the coldest air of the winter season in the Lone Star State. The cold air, an upper-level disturbance, and a surface low in the Gulf have resulted in Winter Storm Warnings for all of South, Southeast, and Central Texas. Winter Weather Advisories were in effect Tuesday morning for the Hill Country.
In North Texas, temperatures plummeted into the teens and 20s, with wind chills approaching 10 degrees in some areas. Skies were clearing along the Red River, and the clearing trend was expected to continue southward throughout the morning and early afternoon, yielding a sunny and extremely cold day. Afternoon highs will struggle to reach freezing temperatures. The third arctic cold front has brought this frigid air.
Overnight temperatures will dip into the low to mid-20s, with south winds returning on Wednesday, accompanied by warming temperatures, leading to a sunny day with a high of 47 degrees.
Another reinforcing surge of cool, dry air will move into the area on Wednesday night, maintaining chilly conditions. Temperatures will drop into the 20s again on Wednesday night, followed by a sunny Thursday with a high of 48°F.
A south wind will return, picking up on Friday and Saturday, warming temperatures to near 60 degrees. There is also a chance of scattered showers late on Saturday and early Sunday. Sunday's highs will reach the low 50s behind the next system.
Clouds will persist on Monday, with temperatures remaining below average and afternoon highs warming into the upper 40s.
