TXANS Update—January 12, 2024: ERCOT has updated the Weather Watch to include January 14, due to the cold weather moving in earlier. The ERCOT Weather Watch, now for January 14-17, was issued due to extreme cold weather across the ERCOT region, higher electrical demand, and the potential for lower reserves. Grid conditions are expected to be normal. A Weather Watch is not a call for conservation.

Remember when we set the all-time record for longest streak of 100°+ days in Austin's history earlier this summer?

Well, the streak of 99°+ is still going strong. Yesterday was the 60th in a row, 6 more expected. Previous record from 2011 is far behind us #atxwx #txwx
