A rare winter storm is impacting Texas and the northern Gulf Coast, bringing significant snowfall and extreme cold temperatures, leading to potential power outages and dangerous travel conditions. An unprecedented blizzard warning is in effect, with snowfall estimates reaching 3 to 14 inches across various regions. Major highways are closed, disrupting air travel, particularly in Houston. Meteorologists warn that travel may be impossible for hours to days in the affected areas, as temperatures are expected to drop significantly, increasing the risk of freezing pipes and infrastructural stress.
This will be a rare and especially dangerous winter storm right along the upper Gulf Coast that will result in major and lengthy disruptions to travel.
Travel will be dangerous or impossible for hours to days after the storm along vast stretches of the I-10 corridor.
Areas just north of the I-10 corridor could see snow totals of up to 14 inches.
Since temperatures are expected to plunge to their lowest mark before dawn on Wednesday, the weather service placed the Houston metro area under an extreme cold watch through 9 a.m.
