Confidence is increasing that a winter storm will impact the Mid-South from Friday through Sunday, according to the National Weather Service in Memphis, Tennessee. The exact amounts of snow, sleet, and freezing rain will depend on the storm’s upper-low positioning.
Forecasters warn that temperatures will plummet, with the region facing bitterly cold conditions lasting more than 72 hours. Travel delays, widespread power outages, and dangerous cold are potential impacts of the storm, authorities said.
The NWS urges residents to prepare now and stay updated as more details become available. Officials emphasized the importance of monitoring forecasts for the latest information on the storm’s development and effects.
