Good morning Shreveport partners,

A winter weather event appears increasingly likely for Sunday morning through Monday morning for most of the area, especially along and south of Interstate 20. Considerable uncertainty still exists with this forecast, particularly with snowfall accumulations, so please continue to watch for further updates.

Timing and Overview:
A mix of rain and snow will initially move into portions of East Texas (west of a line from Mount Vernon, to Longview, to Lufkin). However, the precipitation will transition to all rain by late Sunday morning as temperatures warm during the day. The rain will spread eastward across most of the remainder of the day Sunday.

The rain is once again expected to change to a mix of rain and snow Sunday evening, and this wintry mix will slowly move eastward and finally move out of North Central Louisiana by mid to late Monday morning.

Four State Impacts:

Expected Accumulations: Snowfall accumulations should generally remain less than 1 inch. The highest accumulations are expected along and south of Interstate 20 (see graphic below).

Impacts: Accumulating snowfall could lead to hazardous travel conditions. Wet roadways from the rainfall could experience icing as temperatures fall below freezing Sunday night/Monday morning. Bridges and elevated roadways will be at highest risk
