weak disturbance has brought freezing rain to parts of central and southeast Texas Tuesday morning; a shrinking zone from just east of Austin to just west and north of Houston may see additional ice accumulation through midday.
Farther east, parts of Louisiana, from Lake Charles to Alexandria and Baton Rouge, will also see areas of freezing rain and sleet continue through late morning or midday. Parts of southern Mississippi just north of the Louisiana border have also reported icy bridges and overpasses Tuesday morning due to freezing rain.
This is resulting in dangerous travel conditions, particularly on bridges and overpasses in the most affected areas. In addition, localized areas could see broken tree limbs or power outages.

In addition, extreme and lengthy traffic jams have been reported on I-40 and I-55 in eastern Arkansas Tuesday morning due to ice-glazed roads leftover from Winter Storm Titan, which struck that area Sunday and Monday, and the subfreezing temperatures that have followed.
