Waves of winter precipitation continue to sweep across the Mid-South, causing significant ice buildup in some areas, according to local weather estimates.
Heavy icing is ongoing across northeast Mississippi and southeastern West Tennessee, leading to dangerous road conditions and disruptions.
Power outages are rapidly increasing in the affected areas as ice accumulates on power lines and trees, causing outages and service interruptions, authorities said.
Officials advise residents to exercise caution and prepare for ongoing winter weather impacts as storms move through the region.
