Wintry Precipitation likely across Northern portions of the South, possible farther south

Note: SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY exists on exact precip type particularly in the pink and orange areas, the precipitation is much more likely in Texas and Louisiana than it is in Mississippi and Alabama. Going on, a shortwave and another weaker cold front will move through Friday and Saturday across Texas and then eventually into Louisiana. A band of snow, sleet, and freezing rain will develop over Texas, moving slowly to the ENE into Louisiana by Friday Night, and then possibly into central portions of Mississippi and Alabama late Friday Night. It is very difficult to pinpoint where this band will move as the shortwave will not be very strong. Accumulations and impacts will not be determined for at least another 2 days, and residents of these areas should be prepared for changes to this forecast.
