National Weather Service Warns of Dangerous Ice and Snow Conditions in Tennessee

The National Weather Service in Memphis, Tennessee, reports that little has changed in the snowfall and ice accumulations across the region. Officials warn of significant sleet mixing in along the I-40 corridor, which could lead to extremely dangerous road conditions.

Areas along the corridor that receive more than half an inch of ice should prepare for severe disruptions. Authorities advise residents to expect prolonged power outages, extreme cold, and travel restrictions that are nearly impossible to navigate.

The weather service strongly urges people to avoid traveling unless absolutely necessary. Emergency officials emphasize the importance of staying indoors and preparing for the ongoing winter storm, which could last for an extended period.

Residents are encouraged to stay updated on local weather reports and take necessary precautions to stay safe during this severe winter event.
