ERCOT has issued a "Weather Watch" for Texas as the state braces for a deep freeze next week, potentially leading to higher electrical demand and lower reserves. The cold temperatures are expected to arrive by Monday morning and last through Tuesday or Wednesday, with Central Texas predicted to experience temperatures in the 20s and teens.
