Heavy Great Lakes Snow through Friday; Extreme Cold and Potential for Major Winter Storm Late Week into this Weekend

Multiple clipper systems will bring cold temperatures and enhance lake-effect snow downwind of the Great Lakes. An arctic blast will bring frigid temperatures accompanied with gusty winds that may lead to dangerous wind chills beginning in the Northern Plains Thursday before expanding to the South and East. An expansive winter storm will start Friday in the Southern Rockies/Plains and Mid-South. Read More >

Last Map Update: Tue, Jan 20, 2026 at 7:26:16 pm CST

There are no watches, warnings, or advisories at this time.

We are watching the potential for some wintry precipitation to fall Saturday night into Sunday morning. We are still several days away from this and confidence is not high, but the potential is there so it is important to prepare. The best chance for a glaze of ice in South Texas will be in the Victoria Crossroads and areas farther north.
Very cold air will move into the area Saturday night and Sunday behind a cold front. The coldest period will be between midnight Saturday night and Noon Sunday where low temperatures will drop into the 20s for much of the area. Wind chill values during this period will fall into the teens and 20s. Sunday high temperatures will only be in the upper 30s and lower 40s. Freezing temperatures will also be possible Monday and Tuesday mornings.
There is a LOW risk of rip currents along our area beaches today. Highs will be in the upper 60s. There is a low (around 20%) chance of showers today.
There is a low chance (20-35%) chance of showers tonight across South Texas, with the higher chances along the coast. Lows will be in the 50s and 60s.
Low to medium chances of rain are expected Wednesday, then will return again Friday and Saturday. Temperatures could drop to freezing Saturday night.
