Winter Weather Alert Deep South Prepares for Snow and Freezing Rain Early Next Week

Dallas, Texas – The Deep South is bracing for a rare winter storm early next week, with heavy snow and freezing rain predicted.

The National Weather Service predicts significant winter weather starting late Monday across eastern Texas. The storm will move through the Southeast on Tuesday before departing Wednesday.

According to the Weather Prediction Center, areas near and south of Interstate 20 will most likely receive significant snow.

Freezing rain is expected closer to Interstate 10, creating hazardous driving conditions. Ice-covered roads and limited snow removal resources in these areas may cause road disruptions and flight delays.

Following the storm, sub-freezing temperatures will persist, increasing the risk of power outages and tree damage. Homeowners in affected areas should prepare for heating challenges. Overnight temperatures along the Gulf Coast could drop well below freezing.

The storm’s exact path remains uncertain, but residents should keep an eye on local forecasts. The NWS recommends caution while driving and warns of daily disruptions. Stay informed with weather alerts as conditions change.
