A United Airlines flight from Houston to New York was evacuated after an engine fire forced the crew to abort takeoff, according to the FAA. United Flight 1382 was preparing to depart from George Bush Intercontinental Airport around 8:35 a.m. on Sunday when the issue was reported. Some passengers had to evacuate using emergency slides, while others exited through the jet bridge, according to the Houston Fire Department. Video footage shows passengers standing on the tarmac as emergency crews responded. No injuries were reported.
WFAA Weather Alert Day for Sunday morning. Dangerously low wind chills are in the forecast following a strong cold front Friday night. Be sure to finish home preparations before Saturday night! Cold mornings continue through much of next week. #wfaaweather
While we don't often share winter weather forecasts far ahead of time, we're starting to feel more optimistic about a potential winter #storm that could kick off Wednesday evening in the west and carry through Thursday, wrapping up by Friday morning in the east. We may see some notable #snow accumulations and a bit of light ice across the northwestern two-thirds of Texas. There are still several questions about where the freezing line will be, how much precipitation we might get, and where that 'winter mix' zone will develop. But no matter what falls, we’re looking at a warm-up as we head into Friday and Saturday—so any snow that does settle won't stick around for long! We wanted to give you a heads-up about these winter mischief days well ahead of time because a significant majority of weather model data (over 70%) indicates a winter storm is on the way, increasing our confidence that we’ll experience some disruptive winter weather later this week. We'll be sure to keep you posted, and you can count on there being some adjustments to the forecast as we move closer to the dates! ~David #TXwx
