Zyle Weather

* WHAT...Significant icing expected. Ice accumulations of 1/4 inch
with isolated totals of 1/2 inch are possible. In addition,
dangerously cold temperatures are expected Saturday night through
Monday morning.

* WHERE...The Hill Country and portions of the I-35 corridor,
including the Austin area.

* WHEN...Until noon CST Sunday.

* IMPACTS...Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will
likely become slick and hazardous, making travel nearly
impossible. Weather-related power outages and tree damage are
possible due to the ice.

Travel is strongly discouraged. If you must travel, keep an extra
flashlight, food and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency.
Prepare for possible power outages. The latest road conditions can
be obtained by calling 800-452-9292, or by going to drivetexas.org.

Persons are urged to stay indoors until conditions improve. If you
must go outside, dress in layers. Several layers of clothes will
keep you warmer than a single heavy coat. Cover exposed skin to
reduce your risk of frostbite or hypothermia. Gloves, a scarf, and a
hat will keep you from losing your body heat.

Persons should consider delaying all travel. Motorists should use
extreme caution if travel is absolutely necessary.

* WHAT...Dangerously cold wind chills as low as 5 degrees below zero
possible over parts of the Hill Country and southern Edwards
Plateau late Saturday night into early Sunday morning and late
Sunday evening through Monday morning. Forecast wind chills for
the rest of the area range from the single digits to the teens.

* WHERE...A portion of south central Texas.

* WHEN...From 6 PM this evening to noon CST Monday.

* IMPACTS...The dangerously cold wind chills as low as 5 degrees
below zero could result in hypothermia or frostbite on exposed
skin if precautions are not taken. Extreme cold will become life
threatening and likely damage unprotected pipes and put livestock
at risk.

Dress in layers including a hat, face mask, and gloves if you must
go outside.

Keep pets indoors as much as possible.

Make sure outdoor animals have a warm, dry shelter, food, and
unfrozen water.

Ensure portable heaters are used correctly. Do not use generators or
grills inside.
