Corpus Christi, TX – A winter storm warning remains in effect across South Texas until 6 p.m. CST Tuesday, bringing mixed precipitation and hazardous conditions. The affected areas include Corpus Christi, Victoria, and other parts of the Coastal Bend and inland counties.
According to the National Weather Service, additional snowfall up to one inch and ice accumulations forming a light glaze are expected. Gusty winds up to 35 mph will worsen visibility and create a risk of downed branches.
Roads, particularly bridges and overpasses, are likely to become slick and dangerous. Officials are urging residents to delay travel if possible. Those who must travel should exercise extreme caution, allowing extra time and maintaining distance from other vehicles.
The NWS advises residents to stay indoors and dress in layers if venturing outside. Covering exposed skin with gloves, scarves, and hats can help prevent frostbite and hypothermia.
Travelers should ensure their vehicles are winterized and keep an emergency kit on hand. As conditions are expected to improve after 6 p.m., remaining indoors during peak icy conditions is recommended.
Residents are encouraged to monitor local updates for further information.
