Houston weather: Record low temperature; sunshine this afternoon
HOUSTON - Watch continuing coverage of the arctic blast in the livestream player above or on your smart TV with the FOX Local app.
Houston set a record low this morning and will likely set a record for the coldest afternoon as well. The current record is a high of 37, and we only expect to reach the mid-30s.
The great news is that we will have sunshine and extremely dry air today, so that should eliminate most of the remaining ice.
Watch for another hard freeze tonight followed by milder air on Wednesday and highs in the 60s by Thursday!
Another cold front will bring cold mornings to end the week, but afternoon high temperatures will be tolerable.
