As of this afternoon, the NWS for Jackson issued several Winter Storm Warnings for the AR, LA, and MS regions, including areas north of the Natchez, Brookhaven, Laurel line. These warnings start at 9a.m. Sunday morning and extend until 6a.m. Monday morning. The main problems to expect will be power outages and road closures due to ice on the roads. Please take precautious measures when going outside. If you do not have to go anywhere, don't. Icy roads and 20-30+ mph winds do not make for appropriate driving conditions. Prepare to stay put for most of Sunday and Monday. But, if you must drive, remember to take proper precautions while driving in winter weather.
As for tonight, models show moisture already entering our region; therefore, expect a few light showers, sleet, and possibly a snow flurry or two.
Stay tuned to your local news affiliate, the NWS, blogs or twitter for more updates.
