Snow and ice are expected to coat the South less than a week after rare snowfall peppered spots of Florida and Georgia.
The United States’ South is expected to be hit by a major weather system over the coming weekend, with icy weather anticipated to begin Friday and last through Sunday. Snow and ice are expected as far south as Houston, Texas, and as far east as Virginia Beach. Rain is likely to blanket much of the Deep South.
Projected amounts of precipitation are unreliable at this point as current models vary and are likely to change in the coming days, according to the <a href="https://nashvillesevereweather.com/2026/01/19/potential-for-snow-this-weekend/">Nashville Severe Weather</a> blog. But the models generally show wintery conditions covering a large part of the south from Friday to Sunday, potentially wreaking havoc on any weekend travel plans.
“It is still early, but models are suggesting that multiple cities in the South could see at least some winter weather. They could get everything: rain, snow, ice or a combination of them all,” <a href="https://weather.com/storms/winter/news/2026-01-19-rain-snow-ice-mix-south-southeast">The Weather Channel</a> reports.
Freezing weather may extend in some regions as well, so any snow that does land is likely to stick around and compound any effects from the storm itself.
Wintery weather across the South is expected to ramp up significantly on Friday, with snow falling in parts of north Texas up into the Great Plains region. By Friday night, the area of potential snowfall is likely to stretch from Colorado to Virginia and North Carolina.
Into the weekend, the system is expected to tilt slowly down into the Gulf Coast of Texas and up into the Northeast, with much of the South staying under the system. Wintery conditions on Saturday night could stretch from Houston up to New York City.
The storm system that will potentially blanket the South comes less than a week after wintery weather hit Georgia and parts of northern Florida – a rare event for the area. A separate system hit the Northeast at the same time, snarling traffic and causing significant air travel delays, according to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/weather/winter-weather/winter-weather-travel-mlk-weekend-rcna254664">NBC News</a>.
The twin storm systems placed roughly 55 million people under winter weather alerts. Air traffic in the United States face delays with roughly 7,700 flights within, into, or out of the United States delayed, and more than 500 canceled, according to <a href="http://flightaware.com">FlightAware.com</a>. In Michigan, snow and ice-covered roads <a href="https://x.com/foxweather/status/2013306132475806039">contributed</a> to a 100-car pile up.
