Mon Jan 20 06:30:00 UTC 2025: **Rare Winter Storm Enzo to Slam Southern US, Bringing Snow and Ice**
ATLANTA, GA – Winter Storm Enzo is set to bring a rare and potentially dangerous blast of winter weather to the Southern United States early this week, with snow and ice expected across a wide swathe from Texas to Georgia. The National Weather Service has issued winter storm alerts for major cities including Houston, New Orleans, Tallahassee, and parts of the Atlanta metro area.
The storm, which is expected to largely subside by Wednesday morning, could cause hazardous travel conditions due to snow and ice accumulation on roads, and the possibility of power outages. While much of the storm’s impact will be over by Wednesday, lingering snow and ice may affect northeast Florida and the coastal Carolinas.
Meteorologists attribute this unusual winter weather event to a combination of widespread arctic air across the central and eastern US, and a weak low-pressure system over the Gulf of Mexico. This combination is creating the perfect conditions for snow and ice to fall in areas not typically accustomed to such severe winter weather.
The Weather Channel urges residents in affected areas to stay informed about the latest forecasts and take necessary precautions. The full forecast is available on weather.com and via the Morning Brief email newsletter.
