Last Updated: February 26, 2026By

TEXAS – As temperatures rise across the Southwest, Texas could see days of record-breaking February heat throughout the rest of the week. Meanwhile, the Northeast braces for the chance of even more snow.

Rounds of snow have pounded the I-95 corridor. From a historic blizzard to more light flurries, and now with another winter storm on the horizon, the region could continue to be hammered by more winter weather.

Earlier this week, snowfall records were shattered, including a whopping 37.9 inches recorded in Povidence, Rhode Island, making it the all-time biggest snowstorm for the city.

With multiple states across the Northeast slammed with over 2 feet of snow from the massive blizzard, hurricane-force winds and whiteout conditions, power outages swept the region.

Meanwhile, down in South Texas, more record heat is possible and this time, it could be the hottest it’s ever been in the month of February — for the entire state.

Several locations near the Rio Grande River are looking at the potential for temperatures to reach over 100 degrees.

Laredo, Texas, is one such location which typically does not see 100 degrees until April.
