Accumulations of 1/10 to 1/4 inch of ice likely across the warning area. In addition, dangerously cold temperatures are expected Saturday night through Monday morning.

Roads, especially bridges and overpasses, will likely become slick and hazardous. Extreme cold will become life threatening and likely damage unprotected pipes and put livestock at risk. Travel could be nearly impossible.

If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency. The latest road conditions can be obtained by calling 800-452-9292, or by going to drivetexas.org.

Persons should delay all travel if possible. If travel is absolutely necessary, drive with extreme caution and be prepared for sudden changes in visibility. Leave plenty of room between you and the motorist ahead of you, and allow extra time to reach your destination. Avoid sudden braking or acceleration, and be especially cautious on hills or when making turns. Make sure your car is winterized and in good working order.
