***ALERT:   SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT ***
 
from the Tropical Storm Research Center in Gulf Shores, Alabama:

Our TSRC office does not normally get involved in INLAND weather systems. Our normal task is to monitor conditions in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf Of Mexico for the formation, tracking and evaluation of Tropical Storm systems and hurricanes.

That being said, we are sending out this unofficial advisory due to extraordinary conditions that will be affecting millions of persons in the Gulf Coastal areas of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and northern Florida over the next 60 hours or so. A significant cold front is ushering in from Canada and will be bringing sub freezing temperatures into the Gulf Coast area. This, combined with abundant Gulf moisture, will give the areas mentioned, freezing rain, sleet and wind driven snow ranging from 2 to 5 inches over the next 60 hours in many areas of the deep south.

The National Weather Service and Emergency Operations Centers in the Gulf Coast States are preparing for this event by issuing watches, warnings and travel advisories because there are no snow plows or salt trucks in these areas.  Persons are being advised to get any necessary errands done before this weather system shuts down travel.

Please use extreme caution during this event. Even walking outdoors on flat surfaces may be hazardous due to snow and ice buildup.

Please refer to the link below for an interactive map for watches, warnings and advisories in your area.  Take care and be safe!
