Sunshine returns to southeast Texas, but another freeze likely
HOUSTON - Sunshine is returning to southeast Texas, but some counties north and west of Houston will be under a hard freeze warning again Friday night.
After lows fell to the low and mid 20s Friday morning, sunshine will help temperatures warm into the mid 40s with very low humidity.
Friday weather forecast
Very cold temperatures in the 20s will persist through mid morning, followed by a mostly sunny and chilly day with highs in the low to mid 40s.
That dry air is likely to cool off quickly Friday night with a hard freeze warning in effect for counties north and west, but not including Harris County.
