ERCOT issues weather watch warning for January 6-10

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The Electric Reliability Council of Texas issued a weather watch warning from Jan. 6 to Jan. 10 due to forecasted cold weather across the state.

ERCOT said its weather watch "is an advance notification of forecasted significant weather with higher electrical demand and the potential for lower reserves."

KXAN's First Warning Weather Team anticipates most temperatures across Central Texas to drop to the low to mid-30s at midnight with a freeze leading into Monday morning.

The electric provider said grid conditions are expected to be normal during the weather watch, however, it will be ready to deploy all available resources should the need arise.
