What's it looking like?
Pretty sharp temperature difference across north Mississippi. In Memphis, it's in the 30s now and here (north central Alabama) we're at 53 and supposed to get to near 60 today. If the front happened to slip a little more to the east we could join in the fun but it doesn't seem to be in the cards.
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.
I'm north of DFW and it is hitting us now through tomorrow. Currently raining and 27 degrees. That's never a good combo. Overpasses are bad already.
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.
My brothers scheduled flight from Gulfport to Houston at 0700 was canceled this afternoon. Not because of Ice but Fog.
Roads may get a bit slicker by late afternoon in the extreme NW parts of north MS. Temps will be critical through thursday.
In Memphis bridges and overpasses are icy. Idiot drivers are worse than usual. I40 is shut down west of West Memphis due to wrecks.
I am driving from new Albany to Memphis airport today . Weather reports when I search state ice doesn’t start until the afternoon . Seems like things Are already bad ?
