Special Weather Statement issued January 25 at 12:43PM CST by NWS Jackson MS

Effective: Sun January 25, 2026, 6:43 PM
Expires: Mon January 26, 2026, 2:00 PM

Ice and sleet will continue to cause hazardous travel conditions on some roads and bridges in the forecast area through at least Monday morning. In addition to areas with reported impacts, temperatures will quickly drop below freezing across the remainder of the forecast area tonight. Very cold temperatures could cause moisture and standing water to freeze on roads and bridges, even where freezing rain and sleet did not fall. Black ice can appear like a wet road, but can be dangerous to sudden loss of traction on the road. Be sure to check road conditions with local Departments of Transportation before traveling overnight, and drive carefully if you are uncertain of the road conditions in your area.
