Exactly one week after severe thunderstorms and a deadly tornado outbreak swept through Texas, meteorologists are once again warning area residents of a severe weather comeback—this time accompanied by freezing temperatures.
A polar vortex similar to the deadly 2021 winter storm, but not as severe, is expected to reach Texas by Monday, bringing temperatures down to the 20s and 30s, with even colder conditions anticipated in northern parts of the state. Hence, authorities and residents are preparing for the possiblity of extended power outages, unnavigable roads, damaged water pipes, limited food supply, and more.
