The arctic front that rolled into southeast Texas early Tuesday morning is expected to bring another night of freezing temperatures before it moves out completely Thursday. Temperatures are expected to rise above freezing for the first time since midnight Tuesday, and bring a thaw to the icy roads that have resulted in school closures, and brought Houston and the surrounding area to a stand still. On Tuesday, more than 1,000 flights were cancelled and hundreds were delayed, while icy roads caused more than 300 traffic accidents in the span of nine hours.

As of Wednesday at 10 a.m., both George Bush Intercontinental Airport and William P. Hobby Airport are open, but severe weather in and around the Houston area has resulted in numerous cancellations and delays of inbound and outbound flights.

The Houston Airports advises all passengers to contact their carrier for more detailed flight information and confirm their flight status before coming to the airport.
