Another massive winter storm is forecast to pummel the southern and eastern U.S., with impacts from Texas to the Carolinas.

A low-pressure system is moving across the country, delivering rain, snow, and ice to much of the southeast. This same system will be making its way along the east coast early this weekend, bringing a chance for accumulating snow to the tri-state.

Snow, freezing rain and rain are underway in the southern Plains as a potent winter storm strengthens Thursday.

A significant winter storm will bring snow, ice, and travel hazards across Arkansas starting Thursday, with impacts lasting through Friday perhaps lingering into the weekend even after the storm has ended. Weather forecasters say a mix of freezing rain, sleet and snow will enter West Alabama shortly after midnight Thursday.

The wintry blast, which the Weather Channel has dubbed "winter storm Cora," will likely be felt in the southern U.S. from Texas to the Carolinas.

Brutal cold will open the door for a winter storm to take a somewhat unusual track through the South and create treacherous conditions.

Areas in the north Georgia mountains will see between 3-6 inches of snow with locally higher amounts possible farther north into the mountains. Snowfall totals of 1-2 inches will be common around I-20 with 0.1-0.25 inch of ice possible. The northern suburbs in metro Atlanta will see between 2-3 inches of snow.

Winter Storm Warning now in effect. Snow, sleet, & ice will make many roads treacherous & impassable Friday into early Saturday. The weight of the snow & ice on tree limbs & power lines may cause scattered to numerous power outages. 🧊❄️🚗 #ncwx #scwx #gawx pic.twitter.com/db1hcASugH

A winter storm is moving across the southeastern portion of the U.S., bringing snow, sleet and other cold-weather conditions to a part of the nation not accustomed to coping with blustery temperatures.
