Houston forecast: Cold, misty and rainy at times on Wednesday

It's going to be a "near miss" for the Houston area for one more day with temperatures fortunately remaining above freezing here, but likely stuck near 40 degrees all day. Elsewhere in Texas, travel is at a standstill with dangerous ice covering roads in north and central Texas. Watch for potential ice from Brenham westward and Huntsville northward. A few sleet pellets could mix in with rain today closer to Houston, but doesn't present a hazard. Expect off and on rain today, tonight and tomorrow with improving conditions Friday through the weekend. In fact, sunshine and highs near 70 will return by Sunday.
