"Freezing weather that will reach deep into Florida was moving across the south-eastern US on Friday as millions braced for another weekend blast of winter storms following last week's deadly assault that killed at least 85 people. Hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses in southern states were without power for a sixth day on Friday as the next onslaught of blizzards, ice and biting cold winds approached."
"Arctic air moving into the south-east will send temperatures plummeting into the teens in Tennessee, the National Weather Service (NWS) said, extending the misery for one of the worst-affected states from the most recent storms. The vast majority of almost 230,000 customers not yet reconnected to electricity on Friday morning are in Tennessee and Mississippi, according to poweroutage.us. Those areas will be affected by the next wave of wintry conditions that will sweep into the eastern US as early as Friday night,"
A surge of freezing weather is moving across the south-eastern United States and will reach deep into Florida, bringing blizzards, ice and biting cold winds. At least 85 people died in last week’s storms and hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses remain without power, largely in Tennessee and Mississippi. Arctic air will push temperatures into the teens in Tennessee and threaten record lows in Miami. Snow accumulations of up to a foot are possible in parts of South Carolina, with additional snowfall forecast for Georgia and the eastern seaboard. Cape Canaveral launch rehearsals have been delayed.
