Cold Weather Advisory
Issued: 8:00 AM Feb. 1, 2026 – National Weather Service
...COLD WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON CST TODAY...

* WHAT...Dangerously cold wind chills as low as 3 degrees are
expected.  Lows will be in the teens this morning.

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

* WHEN...Until noon CST today.

* IMPACTS...An extended period of freezing temperatures could cause
ruptured water pipes. Very cold wind chills and temperatures can
lead to frostbite and hypothermia, especially with prolonged

and wind chills. Extensive power outages and snow and ice cover
persist from previous ice storm. This dangerous cold will only
exacerbate the impacts felt in those affected areas.

Dress in layers including a hat, face mask, and gloves if you must
go outside.

Use caution while traveling outside. Wear appropriate clothing, a
hat, and gloves.

To prevent water pipes from freezing; wrap or drain or allow them to
drip slowly.

Drain in-ground sprinkler systems and cover above ground pipes.

Keep pets indoors as much as possible.

Make sure outdoor animals have a warm, dry shelter, food, and
unfrozen water.

Make frequent checks on older family, friends, and neighbors. Ensure
portable heaters are used correctly. Do not use generators or grills
inside.

Monitor the latest forecasts and warnings for updates.
