Texans can anticipate a winter season that is warmer and drier than usual, according to the National Weather Service. NOAA released its three-month outlook starting in December, and after two exceptionally cold winters, what does Texas look like this year? A graphic published by the agency suggests that Texans can expect cold weather with normal amounts of precipitation. State health officials have reported that 246 people in Texas, 28 of them in Travis County, have died as a result of the winter storm. However, experts believe that the actual number of victims is likely to be much higher.
This year's forecast predicts a “cold winter” with “normal rainfall” for Texas, and North Texas has the highest potential for snow and ice storms throughout the season.
