Areas along the I-40 corridor are expected to see a higher likelihood of sleet accumulation. Forecasters predict a few inches of sleet could fall in these areas, creating slick road conditions.
Residents are advised to monitor local weather updates and exercise caution while traveling. Authorities recommend keeping an emergency kit in vehicles and staying indoors if possible.
