Parts of Central Texas throughout the I-35 corridor could experience more ice than initially anticipated during this weekend’s winter storm. The National Weather Service shared an update on the arctic blast set to begin late Friday, January 23.
NWS Meteorologist Jason Runeyn said at Friday’s news briefing that this weekend’s storm could potentially have more ice than Winter Storm Uri in 2021, which had a mix of snow, sleet and freezing temperatures for several days.
