Good morning. Temperatures have fallen into the higher 30s this morning for elements of the metro space, and nonetheless colder circumstances are on the way in which for Friday and Saturday night time, with a light-weight freeze within the playing cards for inland elements of Houston. As well as, the worldwide fashions are indicating that one other blast of colder air will work its approach into the area in a bit greater than every week. It’s too early to say whether or not it will in the end deliver a freeze into the area through the February 18-20 interval, however it’s sufficient for me to say that winter just isn’t over but for our nook of Texas.
