Houston weather: Cold Weather Advisory, Freeze Watch this weekend
The biggest concern is the arrival of another Arctic blast this weekend. A dry front that moved through overnight opens the door for even colder air to settle in. A Cold Weather Advisory is in effect for the entire region on Saturday morning. A Freeze Watch is in effect for Saturday night/ Sunday morning.
