Even though Mississippi is experiencing some extreme weather right now with winter in the north and spring on the Gulf Coast, it doesn’t matter where one drives the next 24-36 hours, driving conditions will be tough.
From ice on bridges to dense fog, many drivers are urged to use extreme caution on Mississippi highways. Then, tomorrow, heavy rain is expected across much of the state, causing even more driving hassles.
Hang in there! Our stretch of gloomy weather is almost over!
