WEATHER ALERT: Temperatures rise above freezing but some roads still remain icy
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- We started off extremely cold Wednesday morning with lows in the teens and 20s. We are warming up nicely today though under full sunshine. Highs should rise into the mid to upper 40s by the afternoon.
Roads are not completely dry and there still are slick spots, but hopefully the melting and sunshine will help the roads this afternoon into the evening.
When will we be done with the freezing temperatures?
We expect another freeze Thursday morning and Friday morning, but then we should be done with freezing temperatures over the weekend with highs pushing back into the 60s Saturday and Sunday. Some snowmen could survive in shady spots all the way until Saturday afternoon. While we have no more freezes in our 10 day forecast after Friday, we still have a chance for freezing temperatures returning in February.
What else can we expect this weekend?
With the return of humid Gulf air over the top of the cold ground, we will get widespread fog, clouds, and drizzle starting on Saturday. Temperatures will warm from the upper 30s to the 60s as a warm front lifts in Saturday afternoon. Sunday will bring more widespread clouds, milder morning temperatures in the 50s, highs near 70, and a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms.
