Than originally forecasted as well so this is covering now the entire area right through midnight we’re still looking at and track at some light moisture.

And then it’s basically just to our East and out of here now once the prip is gone that is it for the moisture then we transition with the next threat of a hard freeze.

That’s expected overnight Houston tonight into early tomorrow morning and then yet again Tuesday night into Wednesday morning remember.

For the foreseeable future actually because Houston it is such a mess out there so taking 90 or taking 11th Street would be.

What you need to do otherwise on the North and the Northwest and the West sides of town it is dangerous to drive in any of those overpasses right.
