Precipitation update Mon/Tues With our two posts per day now, we are aiming to update with each main cycle of model data that we are able to see. So there should be fewer big changes with each post. I'm going to change up this post a bit to sort of hit on the key points rather than give a chronological forecast. Here's what we know. Key messages *Front hits Sunday morning ushering in cold (most areas well above freezing) *Temps in the 30s to near 40 with an east or northeast 10 to 15 mph wind for the Houston Marathon. *Light precipitation likely Monday and light icing on area roads is possible, especially north and west of Houston. *Tuesday AM commute may be impacted in spots. *Temperatures may stay at or below freezing much of the time Monday morning through Wednesday *morning. *Hard freeze temperatures (less than 25 degrees) would likely last 8 to 10 hours at a time in Houston on Monday night and Tuesday night. *Wind chills will be as cold as 10 degrees or lower on Tuesday and in the teens much of Tuesday and Wednesday morning. *We warm well above freezing on Wednesday, with highs near 60 by Thursday. â„ï¸ðŸ§Š Will there be wintry precipitation? *A disturbance passing over top of the cold air looks likely on Monday now. *This will likely produce 12 to 24 hours of light precipitation across the area. *With temperatures hovering near freezing, yes, that means we could see some freezing drizzle or light freezing rain as that precipitation moves through. *There's good news and bad news here. The good news is that amounts look light. So this isn't going to be an all-out ice storm with lots of power outages due to ice buildup. *The bad news is that any amount of ice can make travel difficult. *Monday is a holiday so there will be fewer people on the road already. That's good news, but if for whatever reason you have to go out on Monday, please check on area roads before you leave. *DriveTexas.org is a good resource to have. The Houston TranStar website will show you areas of ice. *While there is still uncertainty on exactly how cold it will be Monday, it will be close enough to freezing to think that at least patchy ice will be possible on area roads, especially north and west of Houston and on freeway flyovers. *We don't want to get into the prediction of traffic or school closures, but yes, you will want to pay attention to how things evolve this weekend for going to back to school or work on Tuesday, as Monday's conditions could directly impact Tuesday's commute too.
