A winter storm in Houston brought mixed precipitation, including snow and sleet, leading to slippery roads and varying snow totals of up to 3 inches. Morning temperatures were in the mid to upper 20s, with strong northerly winds making it feel even colder. Icy road conditions prompted warnings for residents to stay home. Precipitation is expected to clear by late morning, followed by sunshine and temperatures rising to the low 30s in the afternoon, aiding in melting surface ice. However, temperatures will drop below freezing again overnight, creating potential for black ice.
In the coming days, highs are expected to reach the 40s under sunny skies with a gradual warming trend into the 60s by the weekend, though a light freeze may occur Thursday night. Updates on road conditions and temperatures will be provided throughout the week.
