HOUSTON — All Houston airports will close Tuesday due to the winter storm expected in the area, officials said Sunday. An arctic front with wintry precipitation is expected to move into the area overnight Monday.

After shutting down Monday ahead of significant snowfall in Houston, the Houston Airport System announced it planned to reopen airports Wednesday morning. Some travelers got stuck at the airport thanks to the winter storm that slammed southeast Texas with its snowiest day since 1973.

"Our dedicated teams will remain on-site 24-7, working diligently to prepare for a swift and safe return to normal operations when weather permits," airport officials said.
