A hard freeze is expected this weekend with the possibility of freezing rain.

As temperatures bounce around in Alvin, now’s a great time to get winter-weather ready:
• Wrap exposed outdoor pipes & backflow preventers
• Bring pets indoors and provide extra bedding on cold nights
• Protect sensitive plants or move potted plants into sheltered areas
• Use space heaters safely—keep them 3 feet away from anything that can burn
• Check flashlights, smoke alarms, and weather radios
• Check on elderly neighbors or those who may need extra help

Stay weather aware, follow trusted forecasts, and keep an eye on the City of Alvin page for updates throughout the season!
