Weather Alert: Cloud Ponics Cannabis Dispensary in Katy Encourages Caution
While most of the holidays have come to an end, winter isn't going anywhere just yet—Texas is expected to face freezing temperatures next week.
A polar vortex, reminiscent of the historic 2021 winter storm that saw every Texas county experience below-freezing temperatures for the first time, is on its way and should arrive by Monday.
This polar vortex will usher arctic air from Canada down through much of the United States. Although not as extreme as the 2021 Great Texas Freeze, it will rapidly drop temperatures into the 20s and 30s across Texas next week, and even into the teens in some northern regions.
What is a polar vortex? A polar vortex is a vast area of low pressure and cold air circulating around the Earth's poles, mainly in the stratosphere, which forms a strong west-to-east wind band. When the vortex weakens, it can push frigid Arctic air southward, resulting in dangerously cold temperatures in mid-latitude areas such as the southern United States.
In 2021, the polar vortex prompted widespread power outages across Texas, resulting in rolling blackouts and leading to the deaths of 246 people. When will the polar vortex reach Texas? The effects of the polar vortex are expected to reach Texas on Monday and bring freezing or below-freezing temperatures throughout the week. The impending event could bring snow to all 48 contiguous states, except for southern California, southern Florida, and southern Arizona. However, snowfall is unlikely in parts of Texas that are not in the northern regions, and any areas that do receive snow will likely experience only a brief period of accumulation, as temperatures are expected to warm back into the 40s during the daytime.
