Winter Storm Enzo Bringing Rare Snow, Ice to Gulf Coast, Including Potentially Historic Snowfall Totals

Winter Storm Enzo is spreading a rare bout of snow and ice along the Gulf and Southeast coasts, snarling travel, and resulting in potentially historic snowfall totals for some locations.

The National Weather Service has posted winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories across the South from central and eastern Texas to parts of Georgia and the Carolinas. Cities in those alerts include Houston, New Orleans, Tallahassee, portions of the Atlanta metro area and Charleston, South Carolina.

These alerts mean that snow, ice, and wind will combine to make travel conditions dangerous, especially in areas under winter storm warnings.

A blizzard warning is also in effect until 12 p.m. CST for extreme southeast Texas and far southwest Louisiana, including Lake Charles. The combination of snow and wind in these areas might create whiteout conditions this morning.

Tuesday-Tuesday Night Forecast

• Snow, ice, and gusty winds will increase from west to east across the Gulf Coast region during the day, including parts of Texas, southern Louisiana, southern Mississippi, southern Alabama, Georgia, and the coastal Carolinas.
• Tuesday night, most of the wintry weather will taper off from the Mississippi River westward. Parts of Georgia, northern Florida and the Carolinas will continue to see snow and ice into early Wednesday. Most of the storm will be done after early Wednesday, but road conditions will remain hazardous.
• For now, precipitation will fall as snow along and north of Interstate 10 and as a wintry mix south of Interstate 10.
• The northern and eastern extent of this storm's moisture, and thus snow and ice, is highly uncertain in Georgia and the Carolinas. This includes the Atlanta metro area, where hazardous travel is possible Tuesday depending on how far north this storm's snowfall spreads toward Interstate 20.
