A cold front sagged southward through the Mid-South on Tuesday, February 22, 2022, eventually stalling across central Mississippi by Wednesday, February 23, 2022. Cold air gradually deepened across northern sections of the Mid-South. A potent upper-level trough approached the region Wednesday afternoon resulting in a burst of sleet across northeast Arkansas and the Missouri Bootheel which quickly impacted travel.  Moisture continued to stream across the region Wednesday night into Thursday morning as cold air seeped south toward the I-40 corridor in Arkansas and across northwest Tennessee. This resulted in a corridor of heavy icing across much of east Arkansas and northwest Tennessee. One-quarter to one-half inch of ice resulted in widespread power outages caused by tree and powerline damage. Lighter amounts of icing occurred across other parts of West Tennessee including Memphis, Paris, and Lexington. Precipitation tapered off during the afternoon hours on Thursday, February 24, 2022.
