The Mid-South is bracing for a wild weather weekend, according to KWAM meteorologist Laura Huckabee.
Heavy rain and some severe storms are possible on Sunday followed by a polar plunge.
MLGW says they are prepared for any power outages. They advised Memphians to keep faucets dripping and insulating outdoor pipes.The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency has been activated. Other parts of the state are preparing for snow and ice. Mid-South drivers have been told to expect black ice during Monday’s morning rush hour.
“Pay close attention to the flash freeze potential overnight Sunday into Monday,” TEMA wrote on X. “We’ll have widespread rain all day Sunday, closely followed by very cold air quickly sending temperatures down into the 20s overnight. This could lead to a thin layer of black ice on the roads.”
The KWAM severe weather team will be mobilized with Ben Deeter, Commander Chuck and Meteorologist Laura Huckabee.
