We would like to thank all of our customers for their patience and support, our local agency partners for all their efforts during these weather impacts, and all the dedicated frontline personnel who are braving extreme conditions to help our communities. We won’t stop until everyone’s power service is restored," said Nathan Brownell, CenterPoint Energy Vice President of Resilience and Capital Delivery.Entergy also said they were taking proactive steps to prepare for the winter storm and adjusting resources based on the latest forecasts.The biggest concern will be the overlap of moisture and sub-freezing temperatures on Sunday, which may lead to freezing rain and sleet, especially on elevated roadways, bridges, and overpasses.Hazardous travel conditions are possible on roads and major airport delays and cancelations should be expected. Ice accumulations of a few tenths of an inch can make roads slick, and local power outages are possible where ice burdens trees and lines. If accumulations are lower, an icy glaze would be the main issue.Finally, wind chills are forecast to be dangerously low, potentially dropping into the single digits to teens on Sunday and early Monday. This kind of cold can cause hypothermia quickly and may rupture water pipes if not protected.With severe winter weather on the way this weekend, you should have a way to get important updates if the power goes out.The FOX LOCAL app will allow you to stay up to date with livestreams, the latest forecasts, news stories and weather alerts in real time, all from your mobile phone or tablet.You can also sign up to get alerts sent to your phone from your county’s emergency office.
