AUSTIN, Texas — The first full week of March is bringing remarkably cold temperatures. Today will likely be the coldest day of the entire winter season! The forecast high temperature for Austin is only 35 degrees this afternoon.
A freeze warning is in effect until noon today, but we will likely be under another freeze warning Monday night into Tuesday morning. An area wide freeze is even possible Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
Friendly reminder to protect the four "Ps" during winter season: People, pets, plants, and pipes.
Layer up and wear layers of lightweight clothing to stay warm. If it's too cold for you, it's also too cold for your furry friends. Keep pets indoors. Turn off unused space heaters and check fireplace embers and make sure anything flammable is kept at a safe distance. Cover exposed pipes to prevent freezing and breaks and cover your plants, they are beautiful sights in and outside but can be quite sensitive to extreme temperature swings.
