Arrow Special Weather Statement: Southern US, Jan 18-21


A polar cold front is moving from the northern plains states into the deep south. By late in the day Friday, January 18, this cold air will collide with a warmer humid air mass moving northerly from the Gulf of Mexico. The resulting precipitation will most likely be in the form of sleet, freezing rain and snow as far south as the Interstate 10 corridor through Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. This will be a very dangerous event for drivers in these area because there is very little if any road equipment in these locations to deal with snow or frozen precipitation. Persons in these areas of the deep south are being asked to limit travel this weekend and to monitor local NWS and media broadcasts regarding travel restrictions and for shelters opening up for persons who are without power or heat. Ice on power lines and trees falling onto power lines may increase the dangers for residents. Use caution and please refer to the link below for new watches and warnings.
