Dallas, Texas From Tuesday night through Thursday morning, North and Central Texas are under an extreme cold watch, with wind chills as low as 10 degrees below zero predicted.
Without appropriate protection, the extremely low temperatures might cause frostbite or hypothermia on exposed skin, according to the Fort Worth National Weather Service. Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Denton, Waco, and Arlington are among the major cities impacted.
When going outside, residents are encouraged to wear multiple layers of clothing, such as gloves, caps, and face masks. In addition to providing outside animals with unfrozen water and a warm, dry shelter, pets should be kept indoors. Regular check-ups are necessary for vulnerable groups, including the elderly.
Because of the dangers of carbon monoxide, portable heaters should always be used safely, and generators and barbecues should never be used indoors. Travel may be impacted and energy resources may be strained by the intense cold, particularly in the early morning.
Residents are advised to remain alert and prepared during the chilly weather, but the Arctic blast is predicted to subside by late Thursday morning as temperatures gradually climb.
