...WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM LATE MONDAY NIGHT
THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING...

* WHAT...Winter precipitation causing moderate to major impacts is
  expected. Snow accumulations of 4 to 6 inches along and north of
  the I-10 and I-12 corridor and 1 to 3 inches south of this
  corridor. There is also a slight chance of light ice accumulations
  along and north of this line and a chance of less than 1/4 inch
  south of this line.

* WHERE...Portions of southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi.

* WHEN...From late Monday night through Tuesday evening.

* IMPACTS...Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will
  likely become slick and hazardous. Plan on slippery road
  conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the Tuesday
  morning and evening commutes.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Hazardous driving conditions may last into or
  through Wednesday since all of the wintry precipitation
  that falls Tuesday may not melt through the day Wednesday. If this
  begins to look likely, winter weather headlines could be extended
  into or through Wednesday.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Monitor the latest forecasts for updates on this situation.

Persons should consider delaying all travel. If travel is absolutely
necessary, drive with extreme caution. Consider taking a winter
storm kit along with you, including such items as tire chains,
booster cables, flashlight, shovel, blankets and extra clothing.
Also take water, a first aid kit, and anything else that would help
you survive in case you become stranded.
