Our far northern counties may see a few flurries and even some sleet/wintry mix for late Thursday afternoon/evening. Instead of snow on Thursday and Friday, expect cold rain and a possible flood threat as a coastal low spin along the Gulf Coast.

HOUSTON - The next Texas winter storm is almost here, and it's going to be ugly. Houston will avoid the worst of it. Wednesday will be cloudy, breezy and cold, so bundle up. Highs will be in the mid-40s. Thursday gets interesting. Ice and snow begin for north-central and North Texas.
