The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the state's power grid operator, is expected to pass its second test of the winter early next week, when another arctic front is anticipated to bring frigid temperatures to much of the state.

Thursday will be partly sunny and dry with mild afternoon temperatures. Temperatures rise to near 70 on Friday ahead of our next cold front. 30% chance of showers Friday night.

As a slug of arctic air overtakes the eastern two-thirds of the U.S. next week, a storm system could bring snow, sleet and freezing rain to places deep in the heart of Texas, but the forecast isn’t a lock just yet.

FOX 26 Chief Meteorologist Mike Iscovitz shares an update on the arctic blast headed toward Texas and our chance for actually getting snow along with hazardous ice.

The initial cold front will start moving through Texas Saturday, bringing frigid temperatures early next week, but will there be snow and ice?
