Winter storm to slam Texas before moving through the Southeast
Winter storm to slam Texas before moving through the Southeast
From Jan. 8-11, forecasters say a winter storm is going to impact a huge swath of the U.S., from heavy snow in Texas to wintry weather in the mid-Atlantic.
Another massive winter storm is expected to pummel portions of the central and eastern United States this week, bringing with it heavy snow and strong winds that will likely complicate travel and knock out power.
Arkansas weather forecast
Portions of northern, western, and central Arkansas, including the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains, are expected to receive the greatest snowfall accumulations, according to the weather service.
The capital of Little Rock and the areas north of it are expected to get around 6-7 inches of snow, while areas south are projected to get slightly less.
Florida weather forecast
Florida is expected to experience damaging freezes along the central Gulf Coast and the Florida Peninsula between Thursday and Sunday.
If subfreezing temperatures weren’t bad enough, AccuWeather meteorologists say cold rain will hit areas along the Interstate 10 corridor through Jacksonville, including the Florida Panhandle and Tallahassee. While a southern track could provide just the right conditions for a bit of snow, the storm is predicted to bring mainly rain to the state.
Georgia weather forecast
Snow is expected to move into West Georgia early Friday morning and continue to push east through the day, the NWS said Thursday morning.
Areas across northern Georgia will see 1 to 3 inches of snow with this system, with higher amounts likely in the higher elevations of the north Georgia mountains. A mix of precipitation types is most likely in Atlanta and southwards, according to the weather service.
“Changes in the forecast could result in accumulating snow farther south than shown,” the NWS said.
