Cold weather expected with potential storms and frozen precipitation
Texas Children’s leadership and the Department of Organizational Resilience are closely monitoring a strong cold front with potential for frozen precipitation starting Thursday evening and lasting into Friday morning across Houston with inclement weather also expected in Austin, Beaumont and College Station.
While scattered storms and thunderstorms are expected this afternoon, the biggest concern is the possible frozen precipitation Thursday and Friday, which may lead to light ice on isolated overpasses and roadways. High temperatures in the low 40’s are expected for both days with lows in the lower 30’s.
Austin: Biggest risk is possible frozen precipitation, including light sleet/freezing rain which could start as early as 4-6 a.m. Thursday and last until midnight.
Beaumont: Similar to Houston, potential strong storms this afternoon and evening with a slight risk of freezing rain or sleet tomorrow night into Friday morning.
College Station: Biggest risk is possible frozen precipitation Thursday afternoon into the evening.
As your safety is our first priority, we advise our team members and medical staff to prepare now for the potential inclement weather.
- Please monitor the local news and weather for traffic and safety alerts.
- Use caution when navigating roadways and plan for additional travel time to make detours or adjust your route if necessary.
- Please save your leader’s contact information to your phone or mobile device and check in with them on your status.
- To sign up for emergency text message alerts, follow these instructions.
Additional emergency weather updates will be communicated as needed. Thank you for your attention and always operating safely.
