Many MLK Day parades have been postponed, which is a good idea. Morning wind chills are expected to be in the single digits and low teens.

We are expecting snow on Monday night. With the cold ground and temperatures, minor travel impacts are anticipated. Snowfall amounts will stay under ½ inch, with most of it being flurries.

Ironically, heavier amounts of snow are expected well south of North Texas along the coast and into southern Louisiana. New Orleans hasn't had significant snow in 17 years. The biggest snow in Houston over the last 100 years was 4.4 inches in 1960.

The cold air will stick around until Wednesday afternoon. Overnight lows won't rise above freezing until Saturday.
