WINTER STORM FERN HIGHWAY STATUS - Midnight Friday, January 30, 2026
Current road conditions (1/30/26) in north Mississippi are reflected on the right, while conditions on Tuesday, January 27 — the first day temperatures reached above freezing levels allowing for effective ice removal — are reflected on the left. The legend indicates the level of hazard.
Routes in blue are passable, but are still experiencing icing. Reminder that passable does not mean safe.
Routes in red are experiencing severe icing and extreme congestion. Motorists should avoid these routes if at all possible.
Routes in orange are passable, but have lane blockages in some areas due to down power lines or fallen trees.
Roads were expected to refreeze tonight and highways and interstates will become treacherous in spots.
Temperatures were not expected to rise above freezing in Tate County and Senatobia until Sunday afternoon and roads were expected to freeze Sunday night.
Secondary highway and rural roads are still the most dangerous and motorists are urged to check weather conditions and contact local authorities first if they must travel.
Bridges, overpasses and areas in the shade of trees are expected to be the most treacherous and motorist must use caution in those spots.
