Houston-area officials are urging caution among residents as the second arctic front of 2025 is set to bring a hard freeze and chances of wintery precipitation across the region starting on Jan. 20.

The potential for sleet or ice during next week’s freeze is becoming more certain as the weather forecasts for the coming days become clearer.

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.
