SUMMARY
All but Attala:
Greatest potential for freezing rain/sleet accumulation, heavy icing of trees,
elevated surfaces and roadways. Power lines could be downed due to ice
weight
North of a
Greenville-Minter City may see more snow, as previously indicated, mixed with
some sleet/freezing rain. South of that line will see
more sleet/freezing rain than snow.
Attala County: More
freezing rain/sleet with lighter accumulation amounts, which will cause travel
hazards on bridges and overpasses

As we've mentioned
earlier, don't focus on precipitation estimates. For driving safety,
there's practically no difference in the amount of ice under your tires.
Also, power outages may be more likely with this second winter weather
threat. Be careful, and stay safe!!
