Houston weather: Hard freeze for Monday night

Houston and all of Texas remain in the grips of a very cold Arctic air mass. Morning temperatures were solidly below freezing, with wind chills in the teens. A few lingering icy patches remain a concern, especially across northern and western counties, but they are not a widespread problem. While sunshine should help most areas climb above freezing later today, the cold remains a threat to people, pets plants and pipes tonight as lows will plunge to the 20s again.  Extreme Cold Warning remains in place for Houston and all of Southeast Texas with wind chills that could once again dip as low as 10 - 15° tonight.
