  • Freezing rain and sleet reported over portions of the area overnight

 

  • Hard freezes remain likely tonight and Monday night

 

  • Dangerously cold wind chills Monday AM

 

  • Any remaining water will freeze tonight even on ground surfaces

Freezing line has been slow to move southeastward overnight and currently extends from Cleveland to The Woodlands to Waller to Bay City or wrapping around the metro area on the west side. Overnight rainfall has helped bring down some warmer air from aloft and the surface temperatures actually increased 1-2 degrees during the heavier rainfall. High resolution guidance continues to insist that the very cold air just to the NW of the metro area will surge into the area over the next few hours (it is 21 in College Station so there is some very cold air just to the northwest). Precipitation will be ending in the next few hours and the question is does the precipitation end before the stronger push of colder air moves into the metro area. If the high resolution guidance is correct a quick icing of bridges and overpasses on the north and west sides of the metro area remains a possibility through mid morning. For the City of Houston and areas to the southeast it looks like the temperatures will be just a degree or two warm enough to keep any icing of bridges and overpasses to a minimum but will have to watch trends closely.

Temperatures:

With temperatures a few degrees warmer this morning it is possible that parts of the area either stay or rise above freezing later today for a few hours. Very cold conditions tonight, but overnight lows have been raised a few degrees with lingering clouds. Monday night and Tuesday morning look to be the coldest morning with clear skies and light winds.

These are dangerously cold temperatures that can result in damage to infrastructure

Additionally, wind chills on Monday morning will be in the upper 1’s and low 10’s over the region.
