What's it looking like?
I'm right outside Little Rock and they placed us in an ice storm warning early hours of the morning. Every time I check it seems the temps are dropping. I'm curious what the weather gurus are seeing too.Quote:

Right now this looks to be confined to extreme northwest parts of MS and points back west and north. It's going to be a series of storms over a span of a couple of days, and not just one storm. Who gets and who just gets rain is all going to depend on where that arctic front stalls out. As of right now that looks to be NW of a Greenville to Oxford line. But just a slight shift either direction could happen. The ice storm warning area in MS is forecast to see up to a 1/2" of ice which is enough to wreak havoc on roads and power lines. If you're in or near the warning area, you might want to prepare for possible power outages and being unable to get out. Better safe than sorry.
Seems to be a lot of uncertainty even still. Woke up this morning to a temp of 37 and it's been dropping ever since. It's currently at 34 and it's supposed to be according to the forecasts in the upper 30's until this evening.
Where are you? It's 57 at my house, low this morning was 50.Quote:

Damn we are flying into Dallas early Wednesday morning and departing mid morning headed to Wy. I sure as hell don't need a delay or cancel flight.
I've got friends at the airport now and they can't even make it to New Orleans. I hope you are headed to Jackson hole.Quote:

Roads may get a bit slicker by late afternoon in the extreme NW parts of north MS. Temps will be critical through thursday.
What is that a 6-7 hour drive? If I can drive it under 10 hours, that what I do. I paid mileage though, so that influences my decision;)Quote:

I drove up Airways and the overpasses at Winchester and Dunn were blocked. I had to divert through some neighborhoods to get to MidtownQuote:
