Your First Alert to more freezing rain and sleet

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Round one of icy weather is fizzling out this morning and round two is on the way this afternoon and will continue through Wednesday.

An ICE STORM WARNING continues from now until noon Wednesday for much of the Action News 5 coverage area including Memphis and Shelby County.

This second round of precipitation will impact most of the Action New 5 coverage area this afternoon and evening into early Wednesday morning with sleet, freezing rain and maybe a little snow mixed in.

Additional ice accumulation of a tenth to a quarter of an inch is likely with higher amounts possible in some areas.
