North Texas is likely to see a three-day stretch of bone-chilling cold starting Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. Amid an Arctic cold front that arrived earlier this weekend, the region could experience frigid weather until at least midweek the upcoming week.
Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) told Newsweek: "ERCOT has issued a Weather Watch from January 20-23 due to predicted extreme cold weather across the ERCOT region, higher electrical demand, and the potential for lower reserves. Winter precipitation is also expected across parts of the state.
ERCOT, Electric Reliability Council of Texas, issued a weather watch advisory ahead of the arctic blast hitting Texas this weekend. The weather watch advisory will be from Monday, January 20 to Thursday, January 23. The state grid warns Texans the cold weather could cause a higher electrical demand and the potential for lower reserves.
Below-freezing temperatures will return to Texas as soon as Jan. 18, according to the National Weather Service. Grid conditions are expected to be normal and officials do not anticipate an emergency,
Texas power grid operator ERCOT is facing its first test of the winter season as the state headed into a deep cold snap expected to last until Friday. The power grid agency issued a weather advisory that went into effect Monday, indicating power reserves could fall as demand spikes. The weather advisory lasts until Friday.
Icing could cause local power outages if branches fall onto lines, ERCOT’s CEO said, "but the electric grid is going to be performing reliably."
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the organization that operates the state's power grid, has issued a Weather Watch for early next week due to below-freezing temperatures and higher-than-usual demand.
Despite the alert, ERCOT says grid conditions are expected to be normal, and no action is needed from customers.
