The National Weather Service reports that freezing rain is expected to continue Thursday until around 3 p.m. with the high for the day in the lower 30s. Tonight, temperatures are expected to drop back into the lower 20s with wind gusts as high as 20 MPH.
Travel remains hazardous because of ice accumulation and TxDOT strongly advises Texans to stay off the road when winter weather presents dangerous driving conditions. If travel is necessary, TxDOT recommends drivers slow down and maintain a longer than normal following distance as speed limits are based on normal road and weather conditions.
Additionally, TxDOT urges extra caution on bridges, ramps and overpasses as they tend to freeze first.
