An impactful, rare winter storm will continue across the Gulf
Coast and Southeast through tomorrow morning. Gusty winds and low
visibilities will continue to make travel difficult. Winter storm
impacts will begin this evening for areas farther east across
Georgia, north Florida, and the Carolinas as freezing rain, sleet,
and snow begin. Another weather hazard will be the sub-freezing
cold behind the storm, especially in areas where there are power
outages.

The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 400 AM EST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
