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.

* WHAT...Dangerously cold wind chills as low as 5 above. * WHERE...Portions of southeast Arkansas, northeast Louisiana, and central, east central, north central, northeast, northwest, south central, southeast, southwest, and west central Mississippi. * WHEN...Until noon CST Tuesday. * IMPACTS...Frostbite and hypothermia will occur if unprotected skin is exposed to these temperatures. An extended period of freezing temperatures could cause ruptured water pipes.

Dress in layers including a hat, face mask, and gloves if you must go outside. To prevent water pipes from freezing; wrap or drain or allow them to drip slowly. Drain in-ground sprinkler systems and cover above ground pipes. Keep pets indoors as much as possible. Make sure outdoor animals have a warm, dry shelter, food, and unfrozen water. Make frequent checks on older family, friends, and neighbors. Ensure portable heaters are used correctly. Do not use generators or grills inside. Monitor the latest forecasts and warnings for updates.

...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.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
