A “major winter storm” is likely to move across the southern United States late this week into the weekend.

“Persons should consider altering their travel plans,” the weather service’s website states. “If you do plan to travel in hazardous winter conditions, consider taking a winter storm kit along with you, including such items as tire chains, booster cables, flashlight, shovel, blankets and extra clothing.”
The storm will produce “a swath of heavy snow, sleet and freezing rain from the southern Rockies/plains and mid-south starting Friday and shifting toward the East Coast through Sunday,” according to the weather service.
