Winter Storm Leon will affect a long swath of the Deep South over the next couple of days – 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.
The National Weather Service has issued winter storm watches, warnings and advisories from central and southeast Texas eastward along the Gulf Coast and into Georgia, most of South Carolina, central and eastern North Carolina and far southeast Virginia. For Houston, it's the second time with a winter storm warning in just five days.
For Charleston, S.C. and Savannah, Ga., an ice storm warning is in effect, starting Tuesday afternoon in Charleston and Tuesday night in Savannah.

This is the third time this month I-81 has been closed because of bad weather
The state Department of Transportation shut down the highway at about 10 a.m. today between Exit 37, Sandy Creek, and Exit 36, Pulaski. An alert from the DoT said the closure could last four hours.
The southbound lanes of I-81 were closed Jan. 10 because an ice jam threatened the bridge over Sandy Creek. Both directions had been shut down Jan. 6 because of heavy lake effect snow and high winds.
A fast-moving snow squall was predicted to drop 2 to 4 inches of snow in some areas of Oswego, Jefferson and Lewis counties.
