Houston Weather Forecast
Timeline:
The cold air has moved into southeast Texas.
We will have to wait before any wintry precipitation arrives.
Sunday Forecast
The arctic air has made its way to southeast Texas and you can really feel it.
The winds are blowing and making it feel even colder than it really is.
We do not expect to see any snow or ice on Sunday.
Monday Forecast
Snow and ice should not be a concern early Monday either, but it will be cold.
Temperatures will be below freezing on Monday morning and our high for the day is only expected to hit 39 degrees.
The wind chill will be well below freezing, so bundle up if you have MLK Day plans.
We expect the snow and ice to start falling on Monday night.
Tuesday Forecast
Snow, sleet and ice could continue to fall on Tuesday.
In the latest models, it looks like we will see more snow than freezing rain.
That's good because it is easier to deal with.
Right now, the Winter Storm Warning is expected to stick around until Tuesday at 6 p.m.
If you can stay home, please do.

Houston weather: Where this week's snow could end up in the record books
The snow we are expecting on Monday night into Tuesday could be one for the record books.
Because temperatures are expected to stay below freezing, any snow that falls on Tuesday, is still expected to be around on Wednesday morning.
How much will it snow?
We expect to see snow in southeast Texas Monday night into Tuesday afternoon or evening.
We expect much of the area to see two to four inches, but some areas could see six to seven inches of snow.
