  • Winter weather: Austin-Travis County leaders activate Emergency Operation Center


    Winter precipitation, including snow and sleet, is expected to fall in Central Texas from Monday evening through Tuesday.

    AUSTIN, Texas — The Austin-Travis County Emergency Operation Center (EOC) has been activated as of 7 a.m. Monday, in response to the forecasted winter weather.

    That means representatives from several different parts of our local governments are in one place, working together to respond to any issues that may arise during the freezing weather.

    Austin’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management is coordinating the city’s response to the situation with other emergency service departments and non-government organizations, the city of Austin said. Critical updates will be posted online at austintexas.gov/alerts in 14 languages.

    The city said the EOC will remain operational until further notice.

    City and county leaders provided an update on winter weather preparations Monday at 10 a.m. Speakers included Austin Mayor Kirk Watson, Travis County Judge Andy Brown, Austin Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management Interim Director Bill Wilson, Travis County Office of Emergency Management Chief Deputy Emergency Management Coordinator Blake Clampffer, as well as representatives from Austin Energy, Austin Water, the Homeless Strategy Office and Transportation and Public Works.

    During the press conference, local leaders noted that CapMetro will suspend its services starting at 9 p.m. Monday.

    Meanwhile, Williamson County is also opening an emergency operations center on Monday evening. Throughout the night, Williamson County crews will check pavement temperatures and possible icing. Officials with the county also say crews are on call to treat county roads and bridges with sand and deicing material.

    Local leaders urged everyone to sign up for emergency alerts. You can do that by going to warncentraltexas.org. You can also visit ReadyCentralTexas.org to get information on preparing for, withstanding and recovering from a variety of emergency situations.

    Winter precipitation, including snow and sleet, is expected to fall in Central Texas from Monday evening through Tuesday afternoon. Freezing temperatures are also forecast for each day this week through Friday.

    Central Texans are asked to remember the four Ps in this weather: people, pets, plants and pipes. Open cabinets under sinks in your home to keep the pipes warm, bring potted plants indoors and cover your outside spigot.

    Make sure to locate your water shutoff valve in case the pipes do freeze. Flood coverage does not cover burst pipes, and home and renters policies may require you to take “reasonable steps” to avoid pipes bursting or they won’t cover damage at all.



    Winter weather is impacting Austin and Travis County, prompting leaders to take action. With freezing temperatures and icy conditions expected, officials have activated the Emergency Operation Center to coordinate response efforts. Stay safe and stay informed during this winter weather event. #ATXWeather #EmergencyResponse #WinterSafety

  • SpaceX launches Falcon 9 on Starlink mission Tuesday morning at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center


    In the Space Coast’s eighth launch of 2025 thus far, a SpaceX Falcon 9 took flight on another Starlink mission early Tuesday morning from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

    The Falcon 9 lifted off at 12:24 a.m. EST from pad 39A, ascending into low-Earth orbit to deploy a payload of 21 Starlink internet satellites.

    In light of the cold front gripping the Sunshine State, risks of thick cloud layers and cumulus clouds spurred the Space Force’s 45th Weather Squadron to spell out unusual variance for a 4½-hour Starlink launch window.

    The squadron predicted an 85% chance of favorable weather early during the launch window, which opened at 12:13 a.m. — with those odds dropping off to 40% by the window’s conclusion.

    Cape Canaveral: Is there a launch today? Upcoming SpaceX, Blue Origin, NASA rocket launch schedule in Florida

    However, no significant Central Florida cloud cover was present at liftoff across the Tampa Bay-Orlando-Space Coast corridor, per a National Weather Service radar loop from the Melbourne Orlando International Airport station shows.

    The post-midnight mission marked the Falcon 9 first-stage booster’s eighth flight, SpaceX reported.

    The booster previously launched Crew-8, Polaris Dawn, CRS-31, Astranis: From One to Many, and three Starlink missions.

    Following stage separation, the booster settled for a landing on the SpaceX drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic Ocean a bit more than eight minutes after liftoff.

    Next SpaceX mission targeted for Friday

    Next on the Eastern Range schedule, another SpaceX Starlink mission is slated to lift off Friday from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, a Federal Aviation Administration operations plan advisory shows.

    That Starlink launch window is scheduled to extend from 5:45 p.m. to 10:15 p.m.

    This article originally appeared on Florida Today: SpaceX Starlink mission launches Tuesday on Florida’s 8th mission of 2025





    SpaceX successfully launched its Falcon 9 rocket on a Starlink mission early Tuesday morning from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The rocket carried a batch of 60 Starlink satellites, adding to the growing constellation that aims to provide global internet coverage.

    The launch took place at 8:45 a.m. EST, with clear skies and light winds providing optimal conditions for liftoff. The Falcon 9 rocket’s first stage successfully landed on the company’s drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean, marking another milestone in SpaceX’s reusable rocket program.

    This mission is part of SpaceX’s efforts to expand its Starlink network, which aims to provide high-speed internet access to underserved and remote areas around the world. The company has already launched over 1,500 satellites and plans to continue deploying more in the coming months.

    The successful launch and deployment of the Starlink satellites mark another step forward in SpaceX’s ambitious goals for space exploration and technology. Stay tuned for more updates on SpaceX’s future missions and developments in the space industry.

  • SpaceX to launch 21 Starlink satellites on Falcon 9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center – Spaceflight Now

    SpaceX is preparing to launch its latest batch of Starlink satellites for its internet megaconstellation shortly after midnight on Tuesday.

    A Falcon 9 rocket is set to launch the Starlink 13-1 mission from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center at 12:24 a.m. EST (0524 UTC).

    Spaceflight Now will have live coverage beginning about an hour prior to liftoff.

    

    On Monday, the 45th Weather Squadron forecast conditions to go from good to poor across the launch window on Tuesday. Meteorologists suggested that conditions at the opening of the window will be about 85 percent favorable for liftoff, but deteriorate to 40 percent by the of the window.

    “The forecast question for the primary launch window late tonight will be how quickly clouds and rain return to the area as the old frontal boundary lifts back to the north,” launch weather officers wrote. “There remains good model agreement that the highest rain chances hold off until after the end of the window, but still expect increasing clouds and showers to creep in from the south, especially for the back half of the window.

    “With this setup, the main weather concern is likely to be Thick Cloud Layers, with a smaller embedded Cumulus Cloud threat as rain coverage increases late.”

    If SpaceX ends up not being able to launch Tuesday morning, the 24-hour backup window has drastically worse weather, with just a 10 percent chance of favorable conditions.

    The Falcon 9 first stage booster, tail number B1083, will used to launch the mission. It’s previous missions included the launches of Crew-8, Polaris Dawn and CRS-31.

    After launching for an eighth time, B1083 will target a landing on the SpaceX droneship, ‘A Shortfall of Gravias,’ which is positioned out in the Atlantic Ocean. If successful, this will be the 95 landing for ASOG and the 399th booster landing to date.

    The Starlink 13-1 mission will be SpaceX’s fifth dedicated Starlink launch of the year and its ninth orbital launch in 2025.



    SpaceX is gearing up for another exciting launch as they prepare to send 21 Starlink satellites into orbit aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center. This mission, scheduled for [insert date], marks another milestone in the company’s efforts to provide global internet coverage through their Starlink constellation.

    The Falcon 9 rocket will lift off from Launch Complex 39A, carrying the 21 satellites as part of SpaceX’s ongoing efforts to expand their satellite internet network. These satellites will join the existing constellation of over 1,500 Starlink satellites already in orbit, bringing us one step closer to widespread global internet coverage.

    This launch is just another example of SpaceX’s commitment to innovation and advancement in the field of space technology. Stay tuned for updates on the launch and the deployment of the Starlink satellites as SpaceX continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in space exploration.
