Louisiana under first-ever blizzard warning as extreme cold punches south

Jan 21, 2025, 9:23 AM | Updated: 6:44 pm

You thought we were having a tough time here with all the really cold temperatures and some snow. Well how about this as nearly three-quarters of Americans are being urged to take precautions against cold weather today. A blizzard waning was issued for areas near the Gulf Coast by the Texas and Louisiana border today as a massive winter storm strikes the south.

A winter storm warning is in effect along the Gulf Coast from South Texas all the way to Florida. There are also winter storm warnings in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina where people are still trying to survive the hurricane they had a few months ago.

The National Weather Service has issued its first-ever blizzard warnings for counties in Texas, as well as counties in Louisiana. Heavy snow combined with winds topping 35 mph is expected for this area.

These storm warnings also mark the first time that a blizzard warning has been issued anywhere in the state of Louisiana.
