HOUSTON
Icy conditions in Central and South Texas resulted in an unscheduled day off Friday for a quarter-million Lone Star State students.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for the Houston, San Antonio and Austin areas until midday Friday as temperatures hovered just below freezing. The wet, wintry conditions had moved out of San Antonio and Austin by late morning.
The weather was forecast to improve by today, and Austin and San Antonio could see a return to temperatures in the 70s by Sunday, forecasters said.
