A major winter storm is expected to hit Texas this weekend, bringing with it several inches of snow, thunderstorms, and potentially hazardous conditions. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for much of the state, including the major cities of Dallas, Houston, and Austin.

The storm is expected to begin moving into Texas on Friday night and will likely continue through the weekend. Forecasters are predicting that some areas could see as much as 12 inches of snow, while others could experience thunderstorms with hail and strong winds.

Residents are urged to prepare for the storm by taking the following precautions:

Stock up on food and water in case of power outages.

Make sure your home is properly insulated and that you have a plan for heating your home in case of power outages.

Have a battery-powered radio and flashlights on hand.

Charge your electronic devices.

Avoid driving if possible, but if you must drive, make sure your vehicle is properly equipped for winter weather conditions.

The Texas Department of Transportation is urging drivers to use caution and to be aware of icy road conditions. The department is also asking drivers to avoid driving on bridges and overpasses, as these areas are more likely to be icy.

The storm is expected to bring significant impacts to Texas, including power outages, school closures, and flight cancellations. Residents are urged to monitor the latest weather forecasts and to be prepared for the storm.
