Winter Storm Fern Update

An update from Fort Bend County HSEM

🚧Texas Road Conditions Impacted by Winter Storm

This Drive Texas map shows the current, widespread impacts of the winter storm across much of the state, with numerous roadways affected by ice and snow.

⚠️ Conditions are dangerous and continue to worsen.

According to the National Weather Service, Fort Bend County and much of Southeast Texas could begin seeing freezing rain tonight. Because the exact timing remains variable, residents are strongly encouraged to plan to be off the roads by dark.

Dangerous to near-impossible travel conditions are expected as freezing rain and sleet continue to develop across the region.

🚫 Please stay home and avoid travel unless it is absolutely necessary.

Even small amounts of ice can make roads extremely dangerous — especially bridges and overpasses.

Staying off the roads helps protect you and allows emergency crews to respond to those who truly need help.
