Texas Braces for Widespread Freeze as Temperatures Plummet

Freeze warnings and watches are in effect across Central and South Texas, with the coldest temperatures expected early Wednesday morning.

The National Weather Service has issued freeze warnings for much of Central and South Texas, including San Antonio, the Hill Country, and areas along the I-35 corridor.
Temperatures are forecast to drop to the upper 20s and low 30s, marking the coldest weather of the season so far in many areas.
Urban centers like San Antonio and Houston are expected to remain slightly warmer due to the urban heat island effect, with lows in the mid-30s likely.
Residents are advised to protect sensitive plants, outdoor pipes, and pets from freezing conditions, as frost and freeze could cause damage.
Temperatures will rebound quickly after sunrise Wednesday, with highs reaching the 50s and 60s, and a warming trend expected through the weekend.
