Florida and Texas were both under winter storm warning from the National Weather Service (NWS) on Tuesday morning as an arctic air mass caused plunging temperatures and heavy snow along the Gulf Coast.

A rare winter storm is forecast to impact southeast Texas from Monday evening through Wednesday morning, bringing a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain.

A dangerous winter storm sweeping across the South is dumping heavy snow across Houston and other major metropolitan areas along the Interstate 10 corridor.
