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

* WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation possible. Total snow 
  accumulations between 5 and 7 inches north of I-10, and 3 to 5 
  inches from I-10 to the coast. Ice accumulations possible.

* WHERE...Portions of central, south central, southwest, and west 
  central Louisiana and southeast Texas.

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

* IMPACTS...Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will 
  likely become slick and hazardous. The strong winds and weight of 
  snow on tree limbs may down power lines and could cause sporadic 
  power outages. Travel could be very difficult. The hazardous 
  conditions could impact the Tuesday morning and evening commutes.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Monitor the latest forecasts for updates on this situation.

Persons are urged to stay indoors until conditions improve. If you 
must go outside, dress in layers. Several layers of clothes will 
keep you warmer than a single heavy coat. Cover exposed skin to 
reduce your risk of frostbite or hypothermia. Gloves, a scarf, and a 
hat will keep you from losing your body heat.

Persons should consider delaying all travel. Motorists should use 
extreme caution if travel is absolutely necessary.
