Precipitation has ended, but ICY roads remain.

While the warnings and advisories have been cancelled, the danger hasn't passed. Temperatures are dropping, and wet surfaces are turning into ice—especially on roads, walkways, & elevated surfaces.

Key Safety Reminders:

Watch the Bridges: Remember, bridges and overpasses freeze first. Slow down before you reach them.

Ditch the Cruise Control: Keep full control of your vehicle manually.

Space it Out: Leave extra following distance between you and the car ahead.

Stay safe and take it slow out there!

8:20 AM Sunday: Just because precipitation has stopped falling from the sky does NOT mean that the threat for icy roads has ended in the Houston metro! Here's a zoomed in look at the current position of the freezing line across the Houston metro, which will sag southeastward more through the morning. Temperatures have dropped into the 20s across western Harris County, which will cause concerns for remaining water on roadways to freeze, especially bridges and overpasses.

Winter weather can be unpredictable — and being prepared can make all the difference. That includes your vehicle. Be sure to check your vehicle’s battery, windshield wipers, tire pressure, tire treads and fluid levels, as well as ensuring door and trunk locks are properly lubricated, to prevent them from freezing. 

It’s also a good idea to have a well-stocked emergency kit with warm clothes, food, water, cell phone battery/charger and first aid items.

As freezing temperatures and a potential hard freeze move into Fort Bend County this weekend, many residents may turn to space heaters to stay warm. While space heaters can help, they can also pose a serious fire risk if not used properly.

Please take a moment to review these important safety tips:

• Keep heaters at least 3 feet away from anything flammable
• Place heaters on a flat, level surface
• Plug heaters directly into a wall outlet (not power strips or extension cords)
• Never leave heaters unattended
• Use models with automatic shut-off
• Keep heaters away from children and pets

A few simple precautions can help prevent fires and keep your family safe. Stay warm. Stay safe. Stay fire aware.

1.22.2026 | 12:50 P.M.

The coldest conditions are expected late Sunday night into early Monday morning. Temperatures will likely plummet into the upper teens for inland areas and the upper 30s along the coast. A hard freeze is increasingly likely Sunday night, with wind chills potentially dropping into the single digits across parts of Southeast Texas.

1.21.2026 | 11:52 A.M.  An Arctic front is expected to approach this weekend; now is a good time to begin preparing for the potential of freezing temperatures and winter precipitation. While forecast confidence is still low on exact timing and how cold it may get, early preparation helps reduce impacts if conditions worsen.

 A few days out:

• Gather emergency supplies for your home and car

• Check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors

• Fuel up vehicles and heating sources

• Protect exposed pipes and sensitive plants

 The day before:

• Continue monitoring the forecast

• Adjust travel plans and prepare to stay off roads

• Ensure you can receive weather alerts

• Bring pets indoors and stock food and water

 During & after:

• Stay informed and check on neighbors

• Use generators and heaters safely

• Never use ovens to heat your home

Preparing ahead of time makes all the difference. Stay weather-aware, stay prepared, and be ready to act as the forecast becomes clearer.
