Potential for Severe Weather in the South

There is a chance this week for a potentially major winter storm to affect a long range of the Deep South this week – including places better known for their beaches, balmy breezes and hurricanes. This will include some of the areas affected by Winter Storm Kronos just last week – but it includes millions of people farther east as well.

This storm has the potential to disrupt travel and power. There is uncertainty on the amount of wintry precipitation that will fall. However, if ice accumulations reach the higher end of the range of possibilities, there could be widespread power outages and road blockages due to falling trees and tree limbs, not to mention the weight of ice on power lines themselves.

Travel could become dangerous or even impossible in some areas due to heavy buildup of ice and/or snow. The storm can produce dangerous driving conditions and extended power outages.
