The Nation's Weather for Sunday, January 5, 2025

NATIONAL SUMMARY
A massive winter storm can bring thunderstorms from eastern
Texas into the Mississippi River Valley today that can bring
localized damaging winds, hail and isolated tornadoes;
especially in Louisiana and western Mississippi. Freezing
rain can produce ice accretion in central into southeastern
Missouri and southern Illinois into Kentucky. Ice will weigh
down trees and power lines, leading to widespread outages in
those areas; roads can also be dangerously slippery and
delays are expected. Just to the north, snow and sleet can
mix. Straight snow can fall from central Indiana back
through Illinois into northern Missouri and a decent portion
of the Plains; blizzard conditions are expected in much of
central and eastern Kansas which can lead to blowing snow
and slippery roads.
