The Houston area is seeing an increasing chance that a mix of wintry precipitation—including snow—is headed in its direction. Space City Weather meteorologist Eric Berger said there is a growing possibility (about a 50-50 chance) of snow or sleet beginning next Monday night and Tuesday.

The cold snap expected in Southeast Texas next week won't be as severe as the devastating February 2021 freeze, which brought widespread power outages and record low temperatures, but it serves as a reminder of Houston’s vulnerability to extreme cold.

Snowfall totals on Thursday are expected to be light. The weekend forecast for a more serious winter storm remains uncertain.

More snow is on the way for parts of Pennsylvania. A storm that will bring snow from the Midwest to the central Appalachians is predicted to take place from Wednesday evening into Thursday night, according to Accuweather.

"People don't understand the consequences." A new winter storm will bring rain and some of the coldest temperatures of the season to the southeastern United States, including much of Florida. LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNINGS TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT-ERIE & CHAUTAUQUA
