Austin weather: Emergency operations center activated due to arctic blast
AUSTIN, Texas – The Austin-Travis County Emergency Operations Center is now activated due to winter weather in Central Texas.
The City of Austin is now coordinating with Homeland Security to keep citizens safe.
Austin weather: Arctic blast is here
Arctic air is here, and the potential for freezing rain/sleet arrives late tonight and peaks tomorrow morning. Adaleigh Rowe shares the latest forecast.
According to FOX 7 Austin chief meteorologist Scott Fisher, bitter cold arctic air continues to pour into Texas. This is the coldest air of the season, by far.
Additionally, there may be a period of overnight freezing drizzle or even freezing rain.
Accumulations would be very light and primarily on bridges and overpasses.
Nevertheless, even just a little bit of ice can be extremely hazardous to drive on.
When we factor in the wind, feels-like temperatures will likely plunge into the single digits, with a few spots with wind chills below zero.
