Light Snow Tonight
Light snow is likely tonight across Northwest MS where a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect and amounts up to one inch will be possible. The time frame for snowfall tonight will be from about 9 pm tonight, until about sunrise tomorrow morning. Roads may be slick, especially in the NW corner where temperatures will be in the mid 20s during snowfall. Highs will make it in the upper 30s to mid 40s by Saturday afternoon in spots receiving snowfall so it should melt fairly quickly!

Winter Storm Warning!
A Winter Storm Warning is in effect in places like Hattiesburg and Gulfport for significant ice and snow accumulations, and Winter Weather Advisories as far north as Jackson for light snow accumulations! Wintry precipitation will begin falling as early as Tuesday morning and quickly fill up the radar before coming to an end late Tuesday night. Freezing rain, snow, and sleet are all threats with this system. The Gulf Coast could see significant ice accumulations exceeding 1/4", which is more than enough to cause power outages and icy roads! The entire state will be all snow at some point Tuesday night, with light snow and sleet accumulations in all affected areas, possibly 3"+ in or around Hattiesburg. This is a very rare winter storm and preparation needs to take place while there's still time!
Below are maps of estimated snow/sleet and freezing rain totals:
Counties shaded in purple are under a Winter Weather Advisory, and ones shaded in pink and under a Winter Storm Warning.

MAJOR WINTER STORM TO IMPACT SOUTH MISSISSIPPI
A major winter storm will impact South Mississippi and the entire Gulf Coast and the Carolinas on Tuesday into Tuesday night. Totals of half a foot may be common in the coastal Carolinas! Mississippi won't see that much, but this is still a very rare event for this part of the state. Most areas will start out as freezing rain or sleet, and some places, especially near the coast, could receive ice totals exceeding 1/10". All areas should switch to all snow by Tuesday afternoon/early evening and snow/sleet totals could locally be as high as 3-4 inches, which is VERY rare.
The maps below show POSSIBLE snow/sleet totals and freezing rain totals. This will not be the exact outcome and will likely be updated.
The maps below show POSSIBLE snow/sleet totals and freezing rain totals. This will not be the exact outcome and will likely be updated.
The National Weather Service's in New Orleans, Mobile, and Jackson have issued Winter Storm Watches for their entire CWA's, which include much of South Mississippi.

Winter Weather in South MS!
Winter weather is making a rare appearance in South Mississippi tonight. Snow is already being reported in places like Vicksburg. Sleet is also possible tonight, especially near McComb, where a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect. Sleet and snow accumulations will generally be less than one inch, but that is still significant for this part of the country and I wouldn't rule out flurries as far north as Greenville. Temperatures will fall well below freezing tonight, so roads (bridges/overpasses for sure) could be dangerous tonight and tomorrow morning.

Another Frigid Night
Looks like another frigid night in the state with everyone either in the single digits or teens. Wind chills will be as low as -5, especially in the NE part of the state. The Wind Chill Advisory is still in effect for many areas along with the Hard Freeze Warning. Tomorrow will be sunny, but still cold with the Jackson area and points northward not making it above freezing.
Sunday, January 5, 2014
As said yesterday... the coldest air since at least 1996 is making it's way into the state and the front has already passed through a good bit of MS. Tonight will have temperatures in North MS not seen in years, many areas dipping into the single digits WITH gusty winds creating dangerous wind chills as low as -10. A Wind Chill Advisory is in effect for most of the state. In South and Central MS, the worst of the cold with be tomorrow night with widespread teens and remaining single digits in North MS. This frigid air could cause pipe bursting and frostbite! Tomorrow temperature will not be warming up much at all - in fact near TN will only top out in the low teens! Stay warm...

POWERFUL ARCTIC FRONT COMING TOMORROW
A powerful arctic cold front is coming southeast and will bring frigid air not seen since at least 1996 in the state. There will be temperatures in the teens all the way down to the Gulf Coast and single digits further north. Much of North Mississippi will have teens for HIGHS on Monday. A Hard Freeze Warning is in effect for Central and South Mississippi for damage to vegetation and livestock likely. It is warned to protect people, pipes, and plants! Winds chills will be a dangerous factor and it is looking like that wind chills could dip as low as -10! A Wind Chill Advisory is in effect for the Jackson metro area and points northward. Along with the arctic front moving through on Sunday, rain is possible across the entire state, especially north. Rain will change to snow in some area in North MS, where a dusting is possible and locally up to 1/2", especially in NE MS near the Corinth-Iuka area. When the front moves through temperatures will tumble very quickly into the teens from the 50s by the evening in North MS and remain below freezing for at least 72 hours. More details on exact temperatures, wind chills, and (possible) light snowfall will come tomorrow.
