SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT

Union, MS

Special Weather Statement issued January 25 at 7:36PM CST by NWS Memphis TN

DANGEROUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS PERSIST ACROSS THE MID-SOUTH DUE TO ICE AND SNOW... ...SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND POWER OUTAGES INCREASE COLD WEATHER RISKS

Urgency: Expected

Severity: Moderate

Certainty: Observed

Alert Sent: Sunday 7:36pm CST

Alert Effective: Sunday 7:36pm CST

Alert Expires: Monday 9:00am CST

Event Onset: Sunday 7:36pm CST

Issued by: NWS Memphis TN

Details:

...DANGEROUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS PERSIST ACROSS THE MID-SOUTH DUE TO ICE AND SNOW... ...SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND POWER OUTAGES INCREASE COLD WEATHER RISKS...

...Impacts from recent winter weather continue to create
hazardous conditions across the entire Mid-South region. Although
precipitation has ended, the danger has not passed...

HAZARDOUS ROADWAYS AND BLACK ICE:
Roads across the region remain covered in snow, sleet, and solid
ice. Travel on secondary roads is virtually impossible in many
locations.

Even where main thoroughfares have been treated, motorists should
exercise extreme caution. Any slush or partial melting that
occurred during the day will rapidly refreeze as temperatures
drop after sunset. This will result in the formation of
widespread "black ice"-a transparent coating of ice that is
nearly invisible to drivers but extremely slippery.

PLEASE AVOID ALL NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL. If you must drive, keep a
flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an
emergency.

EXTREME COLD AND POWER OUTAGES:
Temperatures are expected to remain well below freezing for the
foreseeable future. With power outages reported in several
counties, staying warm safely is a priority.

RECOMMENDED SAFETY ACTIONS:

- --HEAT SAFETY:-- If your power is out, NEVER use gas grills,
charcoal grills, or camping stoves indoors. These produce deadly
Carbon Monoxide gas which you cannot smell or see. Generators
should be operated outdoors only, at least 20 feet away from
windows and doors.

- --CONSERVE HEAT:-- Keep doors and windows closed. Close
curtains and blinds to trap heat inside. Stuff towels or rags in
cracks under doors. Close off unused rooms to avoid wasting heat.

- --LAYER CLOTHING:-- Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, warm
clothing in several layers rather than a single heavy layer. Wear
a hat and mittens to prevent body heat loss.

- --CHECK YOUR PIPES:-- In homes without heat, open cabinet doors
beneath kitchen and bathroom sinks to allow warmer air to
circulate around pipes. Allow faucets to drip to prevent
freezing.

- --LOOK OUT FOR OTHERS:-- Check on elderly neighbors, friends,
and family to ensure they are safe and warm, especially if they
live alone or have lost power.
