Houston Braces for Possible Ice as Weekend Freeze Looms

Space City Weather warns of a potential weekend deep freeze for Houston, with possible freezing rain or ice and subfreezing lows around 20°F in the city (colder inland, warmer near the coast), though exact conditions remain uncertain. Road impacts could range from dry to icy, prompting closures in some districts; a Monday morning electricity strain is possible due to cold and ice on lines, though major outages are not expected. Saturday will bring thunderstorms, with travel disruptions and airline waivers likely; residents should prepare for icy patches, subfreezing temperatures, and monitor updates as forecasts clarifying conditions.
