Precipitation transitioned to freezing rain, sleet, and snow Wednesday evening, and temperatures have dropped below freezing. Coppell Public Works crews have treated roadways and bridges, but icy conditions still exist – especially on residential streets, alleyways, bridges, and overpasses. Roads are treacherous, and conditions are not expected to improve until temperatures rise above freezing on Saturday. Avoid the roads, if possible. If you must travel, please use caution when driving.
The City of Coppell is committed to keeping the community safe and informed. City staff will continue to monitor the weather over the next few days and provide updates as appropriate.
Additionally, the City of Coppell's Emergency Management division recommends all residents utilize three different methods of emergency notification, such as text or email alerts from NotifyCoppell, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) All-Hazards Radio, and a smartphone application.
