PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
* A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant
snow...sleet...or ice accumulations that may impact travel.
Continue to monitor the latest forecasts.
* Travel will be severely impacted by hazardous icy and snowy road
conditions. Sporadic power outages will be a possibility. Pipes
and sprinkler systems may burst if not properly cared for in
advance. Do so now!
* You should plan to stay put for at least a day given where you

An old rule I used in the 80's and 90's growing-up: if it got to -40F in Montana, then we were in for a true blue norther. It hit -40F this morning.

Remember the current Watch is 48 hours ahead of the main Winter Storm. Expect fine tuning of the forecast up to when a Warning is issued. Do not discount the fact that the Watch is for the HGX forecast area including the Coast.

Doesn’t seem like much of an event south of 10 with that wording.
There are a lot of things that could and will change. It is cold outside, very cold and more cold is coming. It is very difficult to forecast these events a day out, much less 2+ days. Everyone needs to be ready and prepare for the worst.

Yeah the 18z NAM looks slightly better but I remember someone from the Jan event saying it overdoes qpf amounts.
My high temp today may end-up being colder than tonight’s forecast low. Think about that one...

Nws lake Charles prob will be next
I haven't seen it get above 35-36 here in Katy so far but my weather channel hourly forecast keeps trying to force it up to 43 lol. I don't think either highs in the 40s for the weekend are going to come to fruition.

TWC had 46 for my high today. Highest I got was 37 lol we’ve reached peak heating for the day. Temps will start falling now.

Models are really struggling with the shallowness of this cold air. I suspect this will be the case for much of the weekend.
