THREATS: Dangerously Cold Temperatures
As arctic air hangs on across the Mid-South, and thousands still without power, a Storm 5 Alert for the dangerously cold setup continues across the NewsChannel 5 coverage area. All of the Mid-State remains under a Cold Weather Advisory as wind chill values started the day below zero for some, and will be in the teens and 20s this afternoon.
THANKFULLY, this Arctic air mass will move out beginning Monday, with temperatures rising into the 40s. While that’s still below the average high of around 50°F, it should significantly help with melting, cleanup, and recovery.
The aftermath of the historic ice storm will be felt for a long time by many, but what looked like a hopeless situation for one small business owner proved to be quite the opposite. This community would not let her fail. Patsy Montesinos shares the story with a truly happy ending.
