Episodes
A low pressure system tracked from the Gulf of Mexico to Northern Alabama during the day on February 4, 2014. Precipitation spread northward during the morning hours and since temperatures were already below freezing and stayed below freezing, the precipitation fell in the form of sleet or freezing rain. Some thunder occurred as well. Just under a quarter of an inch of ice fell across Northern Tunica County. The ice accumulations fell on top of what occurred two days prior. Trees and power lines fell as a result of the ice causing power outages. Roads were hazardous to travel and several accidents were reported. Meanwhile in areas where temperatures remained above freezing, training occurred across portions of North Mississippi as a band of moderate to heavy rain developed resulting in continuous rain over the same area. As a result, flash flooding occurred and a few roads had to be closed.
