Snow will turn into sleet and freezing rain along parts of the Southeast, as well as southern Arkansas, the weather service reported. Forecasters warn that icy conditions, between a tenth and a quarter inch of ice, will make travel dangerous for many. Power outages and downed branches are also a concern.

Separate rounds of winter storms could impact the Northeast as cold air tightens its grip, forecasters say. Key Highlights: Bitter cold temperatures, 10 to 20 degrees below average, are expected starting Tuesday,

Chief Meteorologist Lisa Teachman says a winter storm will take a swing and hit Kansas this weekend. This powerful and impactful system will bring just about everything from rain, accumulations of freezing rain and sleet to snow.

On Sunday, there’s a chance of snow, but current forecasts indicate it could be light, the weather service said. “Even if it develops, the system will be rather weak and progressive, so snowfall totals and resulting impacts appear minor,” the weather service said in its Thursday morning forecast discussion.

There is also a good chance a winter storm will develop around Texas next Monday, then track toward the southeast U.S. If the moisture from this system lines up with sub-freezing temperatures, then we could have a threat for snow or ice in South Carolina next Tuesday or Wednesday.

After a blast of arctic air settles in this weekend, a storm system will track eastward across the South, bringing the potential for snow and ice. The details of who will see wintry precipitation and how much are still uncertain,
