Storm Summary Number 4 for Southern Plains to Mid-South Ice Storm
NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
900 AM CST Thu Feb 02 2023
...Widespread Sleet and Freezing Rain continue across the Southern
Plains and Mid-South...
Ice Storm Warnings are in effect for parts of north Texas,
southeastern Oklahoma, northern Mississippi, western Tennessee,
and much of Arkansas.
Winter Storm Warnings are in effect for north-central Texas and
southern Oklahoma.
A large swath of Winter Weather Advisories are in effect from
eastern New Mexico to western Tennessee.
For a detailed graphical depiction of the latest watches, warnings
and advisories, please see www.weather.gov
At 800 AM CST...A nearly stationary front was oriented
north-northeastward stretching from regions of the northwestern
Gulf of Mexico to regions of southeastern Georgia. There are
several low pressure centers along this boundary, notably over the
northwestern Gulf of Mexico as well as over southeastern Georgia.
The slow moving nature of the front has resulted in a prolonged
period of precipitation focused on the northern side of the front,
especially over the southern Plains and Mid-South. High pressure
has been gradually pushing colder surface air to the south, which
has resulted in widespread sleet and freezing rain across the
southern Plains and Mid-South. Radar and surface observations show
widespread moderate to heavy precipitation stretching from western
Texas through the Mid-Atlantic, much of which is freezing rain in
north-central Texas, southern Oklahoma, portions of Arkansas.

The frontal boundary is forecast to begin pushing south through
the southeast this evening as another frontal boundary approaches
from the north. Rounds of sleet and freezing rain are expected to
continue across parts of the southern Plains and Mid-South today
before the frontal boundary shifts precipitation into the
Southeast as rain on Friday. Additional ice accumulations of up to
0.1" will be possible in parts of the southern Plains and
Mid-South through today. Accumulating ice on roadways will cause
treacherous travel conditions, especially on bridges and
overpasses. Prolonged power outages and tree damage are likely.
The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 900 PM CST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
