An arctic cold front is on its way through the Houston region this week, leading the National Weather Service to issue a winter weather advisory and warn of possible hazardous conditions beginning overnight.

A wintry mix of freezing rain and sleet is possible beginning around midnight and moving from the northern areas, expected to hit Houston just in time for the Tuesday morning rush hour, about 6 a.m., the National Weather Service said. Temperatures are expected to dip to as low as 25 degrees overnight on Tuesday, with a high of 38 during the day.

The advisory is in effect from 3 a.m. Tuesday to 6 a.m. Wednesday at 6 a.m., and NWS said it's possible this could be updated to a winter storm watch or warning should the risk for more hazardous conditions increase.
