The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for the Bee Cave area from January 21, 2026 until January 25, 2026.
Light to moderate accumulations of mainly ice and sleet are likely across the region late Friday night through Sunday morning. In addition, dangerously cold temperatures are expected Saturday night through Monday morning.
Roads, especially bridges and overpasses, will likely become slick and hazardous. Ice accumulation on power lines and tree limbs may cause power outages. Extreme cold will become life threatening and likely damage unprotected pipes and put animals left outdoors at serious risk.
The Hill Country could see wintery precipitation effects as early as midnight Saturday with the front moving east to the I-35 corridor throughout the morning.
Winter Preparedness
Here are some steps to prepare and protect the 4 P’s:
People: Check on family and neighbors who may need help. Dress in layers if you must go outdoors and limit time outside.
Pets: Keep pets warm, dry and indoors.
Pipes: Open cabinet doors to let warm air circulate around pipes, let indoor faucets drip, and cover exposed pipes and outdoor spigots with insulation.
Plants: Bring plants inside or cover to protect

Weather Alerts
The City provides Bee Cave -specific emergency alerts through a service called Voyent. Everyone can sign up to get alerts via app notifications, e-mail or voice message. Please note that to get geographically targeted messages to neighborhoods or places of work, individuals must set their location for Voyent alerts to a specific address. If it is set only for Bee Cave in general, it will default to Bee Cave City Hall. This may cause individuals not to get targeted messages to their precise neighborhood or place of work. To ensure the accuracy of the style and location preference, please visit Voyent's login page to create an account.
