Update - 1/27/26 at 1:45 p.m.
Road conditions continue to be icy due to temperatures in the upper 30s and low 40s. Major roads like Precinct Line, Harwood Road, and SH 10 are mostly clear but still have ice and sleet on them. Overnight temperatures will drop below freezing, causing roads to refreeze overnight. We expect roads to be slick with possible black ice overnight and into the morning hours. We recommend staying home, but if you must leave, be cautious while driving.
Most city facilities are now open during normal operating hours.
January 27 - The Hurst Public Library and Hurst Recreation Center close early tonight at 6 p.m. before temperatures drop below freezing.
January 28 - The Hurst Recreation Center and Hurst Senior Activities Center will have a delayed opening at 8 a.m. tomorrow.
Republic Services will remain closed today. All recycling will be suspended this week, and they will run regular trash routes on Thursday and Friday.

- Never use an oven or a gas stovetop to heat your home.
- Leave faucets running at a trickle, and leave cabinet doors open to minimize the risk of frozen pipes.
- Make sure smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms are in working condition.
- Carefully remove snow and ice from meters and pipes by gently using a broom or brush.
- Make sure that external vents for dryers and other natural gas equipment are clear.

People: Check in on anyone who may be vulnerable to winter conditions.
Pets: Keep pets inside as much as possible. Ensure they have food and water available inside.

Plants: Cover plants to help them retain some heat.

Our Public Works team has been preparing for the winter weather. Water plant facilities have been insulated, pump rooms are equipped with heaters to maintain temperatures, and our water systems are on standby in the event of an emergency. The Streets Division has filled sanders to spread sand on bridges and intersections, and theyโve made sure extra staff are available to drive the sanding truck. Thank you, Public Works, for keeping our streets and water safe!
