Freeze Expected This Weekend

We want to share a quick weather reminder as a cold weather advisory is in effect for the entire Houston area on Saturday morning. A freeze watch is in effect for Saturday night and Sunday morning. Local forecasts are calling for overnight temperatures to drop into the 20s, with wind chills making it feel even colder.

Please remember to protect the 4 P’s: People, Pets, Pipes, and Plants. As shown in the graphic:

• People: Minimize time outdoors, prepare for possible power outages, and check on elderly neighbors or anyone who may need extra support.
• Pets: Keep pets warm, dry, and indoors as much as possible. Make sure food and water do not freeze and limit time outside.
• Pipes: Insulate exposed pipes if possible, open sink cabinets to allow warm air to circulate, disconnect hoses, and turn off irrigation systems.
• Plants: Know your plants’ temperature thresholds and cover or bring them in before the cold sets in to help retain heat.

Thank you for taking a few extra precautions. Stay warm and safe this weekend.
