A small ice storm occurred across the region on January 25 with freezing rain observed across the northern half of the service area. This occurred as a arctic high pressure settled over the Ohio Valley and shallow cold air filtered into region. While the cold air was moving in, an area of low pressure was taking shape across the northern Gulf of Mexico and helped to produce widespread light rain over the area. Across the northern portions of the forecast area, temperatures were below freezing when the light rain fell and good ice accumulations occurred for areas generally along and north of a line from Rayville Louisiana to Lexington Mississippi to West Point Mississippi. The icing was not very heavy, but problems occurred across the areas that did receive around a quarter inch of ice. Numerous accidents occurred from icing on bridges and overpasses with one fatality in Grenada County. Trees and power lines did accumulate some ice, but the ice was not heavy enough to cause much damage.

Reported by: Trained Spotter
A very tight pressure gradient developed behind a strong cold front across much of the region in the wake of a departing upper trough of low pressure. Southerly winds of 15 to 25 mph were observed out ahead of the cold front the morning of the 29th, but quickly veered west northwest areawide by afternoon in wake of the frontal passage. This resulted in sustained wind speeds increasing to 25 to 35 mph, with gusts to 50 to 55 mph during the mid and late afternoon, especially over southeast Oklahoma, extreme northeast Texas, southwest Arkansas, and north Louisiana. Widespread reports of downed trees and power lines were received across the region, with at least 31000 residents without power during the late afternoon and evening of the 29th.
