Cold Alerts Issued as 200K+ Customers Remain Without Power

While it's now been several days since the winter storm that impacted millions across the country has departed, several hundred thousand customers remain without power, the majority across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee.

The Mississippi Delta region was particularly hit hard. Unfortunately, Extreme Cold Warnings are now in place for these same areas. The warnings extend south through New Orleans and the bayous.

In addition, cold alerts in the form of Advisories and Extreme Cold Watches to the east have been issued. The majority of these will be in effect from Friday night through Sunday morning.

As of now, Sunday morning is forecasted to be the coldest night for most, with widespread record-breaking cold a possibility. Dangerous cold will be possible through Monday morning, potentially as far south as the Lower Keys.

The next few nights could be quite dangerous for those without power as temperatures drop. Make sure to check in on loved ones, neighbors, and pets, particularly those who may be sensitive to the harsh elements.
