Coldfront Expected to Bring Widespread Freeze to Texas January 6, 2025

After striking the East Coast this weekend, a winter storm is expected to roll across Texas in the first half of next week, per the National Weather Service.

Overnight temperatures are expected to drop below freezing Sunday night through Wednesday. Additionally, there is the potential for winter precipitation between Wednesday and Friday, but that depends on how quickly the weather moves across the state of Texas.

High temperatures during the daytime are expected to remain above freezing, which significantly reduces the risk of issues with the grid that may lead to blackouts. That being said, depending on the severity of the potential winter precipitation, localized blackouts may occur as a result of fallen tree branches.

According to ERCOT’s 6-day supply and demand forecast from January 3, they expect plenty of generation capacity to meet the needs of Texans during this period of colder weather.
