Houston weather: Snow will begin to thaw Wednesday afternoon

Tuesday's snow day got many Houstonians outside to play and sled, but it also brought dangerous icy road conditions.

The snow and ice is expected to melt away Wednesday as temperatures warm up.

Wednesday afternoon and night

Lighter winds, sunshine and dry conditions will help Southeast Texas thaw on Wednesday as highs should reach the mid 40s.

Following a quiet, slightly milder day, ice will be much more isolated in nature overnight Wednesday night even as lows fall slightly below freezing.

Thursday through this weekend

Highs on Thursday have a good chance of hitting the low 50s and that trend will continue through the weekend. Highs in the 50s return on Friday with 60s for the weekend.

Watch for rainy weather to return on Sunday and continue until Tuesday, but temperatures will stay well above freezing, so no more snow.
