Ice storm warnings are in effect across Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia from January 24–26, 2026, as a powerful winter storm brings freezing rain, sleet, and gusty winds. Ice accumulations of up to 1 inch and winds up to 30 mph could cause widespread power outages, downed trees, and extremely hazardous travel. Residents are urged to avoid non-essential travel, prepare emergency kits, and expect lingering impacts as sub-freezing temperatures persist after the storm, potentially disrupting daily life and commutes for days.
