Waves of winter precipitation continue to move through the Mid-South, according to weather officials. The latest estimates show significant ice accumulation across northeast Mississippi and southeastern West Tennessee.
Heavy icing has led to a rapid increase in power outages in those areas, local utility companies reported. Authorities are advising residents to exercise caution and prepare for ongoing winter weather conditions.
Forecasters expect the winter storm to continue impacting the region over the next several hours, with officials urging residents to stay updated on the latest advisories and to avoid travel if possible.
