Band of snow, ice to create hazardous travel from Texas to Arkansas

Old Man Winter is dealing a swath of snow and ice across the south-central United States into Saturday evening.

The storm has the potential to bring enough snow and ice to shut down travel for a time over part of the southern Plains and slow down travel in part of the middle Mississippi and Tennessee valleys.

The weight of the wet snow and ice may bring down trees, which can lead to power outages on a regional level.

Shipping originating from, passing through or ending up in this area may be adversely affected.
