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

* WHAT...Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations up to 4 
  inches possible.

* WHERE...Portions of northeast Louisiana and central, east central, 
  south central, southeast, southwest, and west central Mississippi.

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

* IMPACTS...Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will 
  likely become slick and hazardous. Due to the very cold 
  temperatures well below freezing, treacherous road conditions will 
  develop where heavy snow accumulates. Travel impacts will likely 
  continue well beyond the end of the snow.

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.
