W​inter Storm Cora quickly followed Blair as Blair's southern cousin. Cora brought widespread snow and ice to many southern states in early to mid-January before wrapping up as a lighter snowmaker for the Ohio Valley and Northeast.

Any wintry precipitation in Oklahoma and Texas should end in the morning. Snow will fall from the Mid-South region into Kentucky, Tennessee, far northern parts of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia into North Carolina, upstate South Carolina and Virginia.

Snow will turn into sleet and freezing rain along parts of the Southeast, as well as southern Arkansas, the weather service reported. Forecasters warn that icy conditions, between a tenth and a quarter inch of ice, will make travel dangerous for many. Power outages and downed branches are also a concern.
