Another winter storm is heading to the southern United States.

A new winter storm is expected in the southern United States, which could bring significant snowfall and ice in the coming days. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the storm will begin on Thursday, January 9, 2025, and will affect regions from the Southern Plains to the Lower Mississippi Valley and the Mid-South.

A combination of Arctic air moving south and a developing low pressure system along the Gulf Coast will create conditions for snow, sleet, and freezing rain. The heaviest snowfall is expected to occur in northern Texas, southeastern Oklahoma, and central Arkansas. Precise precipitation estimates remain uncertain.

As early as Wednesday night, January 8, severe weather conditions may begin to impact western Texas and southeastern New Mexico, gradually moving eastward through Thursday and Friday. Drivers are advised to use caution as roads may become slippery and hazardous.

Local officials are urging residents to prepare for potential power outages and to limit travel during the storm. Monitor forecast updates and take precautions.
