In brief: Houston is seeing some of its coldest weather of the season this morning, but the good news is that we are going to get no colder than this. Also, some places across the state are much colder this morning. We’ll experience a slow warming trend into the weekend, with a rainy Saturday, before spring arrives next week.

Power demand is sky high in ERCOT this morning. This is the first time ERCOT has ever served 80,000 megawatts in the winter. We have a new battery storage record with 4,578 megawatts deployed at 7:15. Once again, batteries are playing a major role to keep the heat on. #txlege
