What we know:
A storm system arrives in Texas on Tuesday, bringing rain and temperatures in the 40s.
Tuesday night into Wednesday temperatures will drop below freezing, meaning we could see an icy mix falling from the sky and any wet areas could freeze and cause significant road problems on Wednesday.
What we don't know:
The chance of ice is not set in stone.
We won't have a good handle on that until after an expected storm this weekend.
7-Day Forecast
Temperatures will drop well below freezing at the end of next week.
