DALLAS, TEXAS — Another strong Arctic cold front is surging across Texas this weekend, delivering a deep chill that will drop temperatures 15 to 20 degrees below average and send brisk north winds all the way down to the Gulf Coast.
Meteorologists say the front, which began pushing through the Panhandle late Saturday, will continue southward through Sunday, reaching Houston, Victoria, and the coastal plains by Sunday night.
