Ice storm warning in effect until noon CST Sunday
Significant icing expected.
Ice accumulations of 1/4 to 1/2 in are possible.
In addition, dangerously cold temperatures are expected Saturday night through Monday morning.
This will effect the Hill Country and portions of the I-35 corridor, including the Austin area.
This could cause roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, to become slick and hazardous, making travel nearly
impossible. Weather-related power outages and tree damage are possible due to the ice.
Travel is strongly discouraged. If you must travel, keep an extra
flashlight, food and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency.
Prepare for possible power outages. The latest road conditions can
be obtained by calling 800-452-9292, or by going to drivetexas.org.
People are urged to stay indoors until conditions improve. If you
must go outside, dress in layers. Several layers of clothes will
keep you warmer than a single heavy coat. Cover exposed skin to
reduce your risk of frostbite or hypothermia. Gloves, a scarf, and a
hat will keep you from losing your body heat.
People should consider delaying all travel. Motorists should use
extreme caution if travel is absolutely necessary.
