No additional freezing rain or sleet is expected as very dry air builds into SE Texas. But there are still some patches of ice on bridges, overpasses, sidewalks and other roads. Some ice could remain until Wednesday afternoon when temperatures will climb well above freezing. So continue to drive very carefully and take things slow! Also, get ready for another hard freeze tonight with a Hard Freeze Warning in place for Houston until 10 AM Wednesday. Temperatures in the teens will be likely. Wind will not be as strong tonight. However, there will still be a chance for wind chills in the teens and single digits. So another Wind Chill Advisory is in effect until 10 AM Wednesday. Wind chills could get as low as 5 above zero! So bundle up once again tonight and early Wednesday. Dramatic warming trend is set the next few days with highs near 50 Wednesday afternoon and temperatures near 70 Thursday afternoon! That warmer air will be ahead of our next system that will bring a slim shot for rain Thursday. Colder air returns for the weekend with warmer and wetter weather expected early next week.
