The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency and Mississippi Highway Patrol are monitoring an approaching winter storm expected to bring freezing rain, sleet, snow, and ice to the region.
Officials warn residents to stay alert and drive cautiously if travel is necessary. They recommend slowing down and avoiding roadways if possible.
Those who do not need to go out are advised to stay home, stay warm, and wait for conditions to improve. Emergency agencies continue to track the storm and will provide updates as needed.
